This is just half a dozen examples of the slippery slope fallacy. You could make identically generic arguments for every good law that we all agree on. The specifics of the law in question are a required component of the conversation.
> the state knows best and the state never makes mistakes!
Nobody believes this. Everyone is comfortable with the risks of the state when it comes to rights and laws they believe should be enforced.
No, it's half a dozen examples that already happened in real life (5 quite literally, 1 with digital fingerprinting of network traffic instead of physical fingerprints).
This isn't parody or satire, it's history.
I am not comfortable with the risks of the state when it comes to my rights. It's fine to have an opinion, but don't think you speak for everyone.
The state is the only entity that infringes on my rights.
Private parties have never tried to strip me of my right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, right to bear arms, my right to privacy, my right to private property / the fruits of my labor, etc.
No, those are natural rights that governments wisely choose to recognize. I hold those rights, along with the right to life, liberty, and the peaceful pursuit of happiness. Whether or not one or more governments recognizes those rights has no bearing on whether I hold them.
Are you saying you would if there were no federal government?
Nobody needs to respect your rights with government existing either, government just offers the possibility of consequences for people who violate the non-aggression principle.
> Are you saying you would if there were no federal government?
Maybe? The hypothetical represents a world so alien to the one we live in that it's hard to predict how I would act. What is absolutely assured however is that the biggest assholes in the region are definitely going to do a lot of killing, robbing and raping.
Government or no government, people who go around raping are gonna get killed, people who go around murdering are going to get killed, and people who go around robbing are going to get killed. Crime is a self-solving problem in an armed society.
