The least Anararchic person in that conversation is the person saying 'you can't be an anarchist if you believe in god.' Because that's not an argument, it's just a statement.

The entire Nazi war machine was only possible because of past, present and future violations of the non aggression principle (achievable only through government).

If the majority is moral then why do they need to be ruled by a group of people who are power hungry and gun hungry and probably not quite so good?

Political correctness is anti-empathetic because it has correctness in it. We all have biases, we all have prejudices and if we cant talk about them openly - if we get attacked for it then this is an anti-empathetic movement and therefore it cannot complain about a lack of empathy.

You cannot connect with anyone except through reality.
