    Why are you bootlicking?

    Jesus Christ. Having a consistent definition of “kidnapping” is not bootlicking.

      Consistency is when you can’t call an act of violence what it is if it’s cops committing the act of violence

        Are you an anarchist? I’m not. Like every AES state, I think it’s possible to have justifiable government actions. Governments have a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence, so yeah, a cop making a legal arrest is not the same as me hitting a stranger over the head and stuffing them in a van.

          It’s not hitting a stranger over the head and stuffing them in a van. It’s “an arrest.” You can’t call it hitting a stranger over the head and stuffing them in a van, because of who’s doing it.

              This isn’t a theory discussion, it’s a fucking linguistics discussion. You’re insisting that the word “abduction” refers only to a legal term, which it does not. Obviously it does not. Idk what more to say.
