    By not creating the mass murderers and terrorists in the first place, ideally.

    Beyond that, anarchism usually embraces the idea of the broadly armed society and militias.

      My critique of that is that’s how you get tge US in the war of 1812. You don’t want to be the US in the war of 1812.

        My critique of your critique is that professional militaries are how you get every other fucking war since then, lol

        And 1812, because a British militia wasn’t going to independently invade America. That’s something statists do.

        Plus:

        Seems pretty even to me.

          My critique of your critique of my critique is two part. One you’re not wrong. Two it would require everyone everywhere to agree to no professional armies.

          I guess it’s three parts because the militia based army of the US is the one that invaded Canada first. They were just really, really bad.

            After the British Navy kept enslaving Americans for their war machines!

            BONUS MILITIA SUPERIORITY BONUS ROUND:

            Numerous militias refused to cross into Canadian territory because while they agreed with the stated goals they thought trying to conquer the territory was wrong and not to their actual benefit.

            But you’re right. The citizen militia conceit relies on regular training and broadly popular support, and America was lacking in both. It worked in the classical republics because the society was structured to prioritize it and America was not.
