And I could assert quite a lot about your assertions, the mindset behind them, and what kind of society that leads to.

But I can't be arsed to: No matter how many deluded authoritarians you manage to bring to their senses, or just reduce to a heap of smoking online cinders, more fresh ones just keep popping up. And I got bored with Usenet flamewars decades ago.

Seems like you're saying that wanting to live in a truly safe place - a place where you can leave your doors, cars and bikes unlocked - is the dream of a deluded authoritarian. I guess I just disagree. These places do exist, and they are rather nice.
