Hence, Anarcho-tyranny favors low-trust social groups.

It will drive an increasingly tribal society.

All of this will harm young women, who are one of the groups voting for it.

Only one agreed to accept democracy.

Note how they like to use things like CARB (in CA) or EPA to impose these rules. They prefer that over the legislative process. That way Newsome can say he didn’t ban gas cars . . .

That’s a thoroughly despicable and frightening concept, and sadly captures the despicable nature of our far left. Rioters in Portland exhibit this in spades, and if you watch how they function as a cohesive army with no apparent command and control function, you realize how well trained they are. They employ interlocking rings of offense and weapons that have ostensible inoffensive purpose (umbrellas and bottles of water, frozen into hard blocks) so they can change from an apparently peaceful citizen into an armed combatant instantly.

Note that the approach they use would fail in terrorizing armed citizens who can defend themselves. But that isn’t allowed. The police are there to protect antifa and BLM thugs.

A group of fit young men win out over individuals. It becomes a system where gangs rule.

Hence what you see in Mexico, were armed gangs called cartels run parts of the country the government doesn’t control.

Some of the biggest victims in such systems are the young men who are not in the gang or those in the losing gang.

And it doesn’t “wither”, it entrenches itself.

One of the points he makes is that anarchy is okay if you’re a fit 20-something man. For everyone else, they are at the mercy of these young men.

He also says not only are the police not hated, they are adored. They are all that stands between the people and the tyranny of the young men.

Another example of anarchy-tyranny that has just popped up is the advertisements by Democratic leaders telling Law Enforcement Officers and military members they can and should refuse unlawful orders. On the face of it, that is sound advice. In fact, it invites anarchy and the breakdown of law and order.

This all cannot be domestically-generated opposition. I smell the presence of international terror groups behind it all.
