Stay asleep and miss me with that willfully ignorant take.

And “this is America.” Need I say more?

Clown.

Goes back further than that to the post-war era with the dismantling of the union movement and oppression of left wing voices due to the 2nd Red Scare/McCarthyism

I lost faith in the standards of our government employees after that one clerk was found to be repeatedly refusing to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.

This.

These people are not equipped to handle the cognitive dissonance of having their beliefs challenged. They will simply compartmentalize away any contradictions so they don’t have to think about it. If you try to force the issue they become vitriolic and refuse to engage with you any further, usually resorting to character defamation to label you as someone who is not trustworthy and can be readily disregarded.

The State itself kills way more than any negative effects of burning down one of their institutions.

Those services are provided to people through the distribution of resources to communities that need them. The state only exists to control how this happens, and predominantly works to frustrate these efforts in order to facilitate profit growth for the capitalist market.

As an Anarchist, yes, I fully believe a stateless society would be leagues better than one that suffers under an unjust hierarchy that only exists to serve the interests of capital.

Nice red herring though with the last point. Never said other States would just sit idly by. Which is why forms of defense will still need to be organized and there are many different ways to organize community defense that don’t rely on a state hierarchy.

Burning a State building only burns down a building, nothing more.

What a myopic take…

State Buildings are not people, why should we have empathy for inanimate objects? Militant organizations exist to defend people from systemic oppression (at least leftist ones do, cannot say the same for the right wing types) specifically because they empathize with the plight of those being oppressed.
