Yup. In most cases, these people's votes count more than the rest of ours.

The system you describe cannot exist. An anarchist or libertarian state in the real world can neither regulate nor defend itself from other states. It's a fantasy that would collapse immediately upon implementation in all possible real world circumstances.

Secure from who? The law? Not likely. Some dude in his basement in Russia who really wants to know where I'm meeting my friends after work or what time my dentist appointment is? Big deal.

Honestly, who is actually stupid enough to still be sending sensitive personal information by text? It doesn't matter what app you use to send it; once it's sent, it's inherently unsecure because now someone else has it in their posession with nothing but their personal integrity protecting it.

My phone can already send texts. Why the fuck would I install spyware to be able to also send texts?

The reason our government governs us today is because they have an overwhelming ability to do violence on us, and the majority of us fear it, even if only subconsciously. If you think it's by our choice, you're utterly delusional.

Or, and I know this sounds crazy, the highly paid professionals at the top of their field can do their job properly for the majority of their consumers.

A lot of us live in apartments and choose not to be obnoxious assholes to our neighbors. Wheres the sound mix for us?

If you have to keep changing the volume throughout the movie, the audio engineer did a bad job, period.
