> If society is violent, divided, and less trusting of one another, there is more willingness to turn to the state for protection.

Patently false from all available exemples.

What examples? How do they demonstrate that? Clearly not all available examples were used!

And nowhere did I say that that is the only reason a society would be willing to turn to the state for protection, so spare me the false counter examples dressed up breathlessly to look like some incredible gotcha.

I gave the examples in my first comment, you didn’t refute them but claimed their were some bad countries in Europe, which I agreed with (Ukraine, Russia, etc…).

Your examples didn't refute what I wrote.
