    But mostly propaganda. They think Anarchy means random violent chaos because what all films about authority collapse shows.

      Met a dude once who actually believed that shit. I’d try to explain to him like “We don’t expect instant harmony to just happen like that, there’s work to do, people want to organize” and he looks me, dead serious: “Dude, have you never seen the movie Purge? That’s what happens when there’s no police anymore”

      Some peoples worldview… Never ceases to shock me.

        Those people make me nervous. Same with people who can’t comprehend not needing a set of rules from a god for society to behave. “What stops me from killing someone if it’s not a sin?” Um… I would have hoped you just instinctively knew that was wrong. Like who raised you?
