    What government has given out free ponies to all citizens?

    Is this not where we ask nonsequiturs?

    To address your point that is irrelevant to any discussion at hand. We can get into why there are exceedingly few stateless societies allowed to exist, the history of aristocracy and how every single world leader is a descendant of a feudal lord proving feudalism never died out and psychopaths have ruled the world since the dawn of government, but you’re frankly not ready for that discussion. Until you are I suggest JAQing off in your right wing echo chamber from now on like you types are used to.

      Wtf are you even talking about? You literally said that stateless societies have formed infrastructure. I asked you to provide examples of where that has occurred on the massive scale that modern cities exist at. Basic roads and sanitation that stateless societies create is a whole lot different than getting clean water to tens of millions of people in a relatively small, dense footprint. You could argue that Kowloon did it, but honestly it is only due to the extreme humidity in that area of the world that the whole place didn’t go up in flames due to how shoddy the ran electric lines throughout the whole city. But there were tons of other problems that existed in that place, e.g. extreme levels of mold, sanitation issues, etc.

      But sure, just write me off as a right wing zealot because I challenged your worldview. I’m not even conservative, but whatever, lol.

        No you asked a question unrelated to the discussion in motion so you can reinforce the world view you were brainwashed with as a child.

        No, there is no example of a large stateless society with large infrastructure, because people like you love committing genocide whenever anyone is not under your control.

        The original question implied was is government required for infrastructure, and the answer is unambiguously no.

          Okay, I see you’re just an idiotic troll who can’t cope with differing views, resorting to petty insults whenever their argument is shown to be insufficient. Have a good one, asshole.
