In particular, you said that basically the main job of the state, we're just going to speak collectively about the state, even though the state is not a thinking entity, that bleeds down to the individual.
That's their main job, because if they didn't do that, Well, then, like all deceptions in life, they unravel if you don't keep up.
The minute he gets you on the phone, he's got to get your head in his space to think that he's benefiting you in some way.
He can't just say, hello, I'm going to benefit you and then never talk anymore.
That's the job of the state to keep that propaganda or we can call it like a legitimacy narrative going.

Libertarianism 101, it's the propaganda, the relentless, persistent propaganda.
But then we can ask, how is that possible? How is it that they keep on doing it? Well, it's their incentive to do it.
