Your notion that chaos would be the order of the day in the absence of law/government is the pure speculation of someone who is radically afraid of being in the world and predominantly imputes violent misconduct the the Other.
No, it's the experience of someone who's been around the world, seen a lot and read a good deal. We see people breaking the law at will, especially when appointed officials look the other way. Look at Seattle. In Boston, the new DA refuses to prosecute:
• Trespassing;
• Shoplifting;
• Larceny under $250;
• Disorderly conduct;
• Disturbing the peace, and;
• Receiving stolen property.
If you don't like laws, you should move to Boston. See how you feel when someone moves into your home, steals from a store while you're shopping, cusses you out or steals from your car. You'll call the police, I'm sure.
Perhaps you missed Thomas Paine's report of the state of affairs in America immediately subsequent to the American revolution, where there was no government, no law.
The law was ingrained in people then. When I grew up, no one locked their homes. There used to be a LOT less crime than there is today.
The fact that only a minority of policemen murder citizens daily nowadays; which is chaotic.
I don't think that's a sentence. It has to do with there being nearly a million police and the fact that the majority of people with mental illness won't get treatment, mostly because of the stigma behind it.
You fail (to) consider that even if radical chaos were to happen, the malicious types would be erased quick like a mouse, and, unacceptable misconduct would thus be extinguished more efficiently than in our so called state of law and order, wherein law and order is the central destructive phenomenon which you live in the midst of continually.
Are you saying that we'd shoot and kill the perpetrators and so reduce their population to zero? You make even less sense than your partner.
You, unfortunately, live within an absolutism of law which has arisen essentially on the basis of our, Judaeo-Christian historicity, wherein Moses originally found himself pleading with Yahweh not to completely extinguish the children of Israel.
That was a set-up, wherein Moses was given the law and subsequently Israel was found to not follow that law, since no one can. The law is a schoolmaster designed to point us to God. I can see how you missed that point, not being familiar with Scripture. Jesus is The Way. You think that chaos is the way, but we've seen what that can do, already. We don't have a boundary to prevent illegal aliens from entering our country, so they're storming into our country in unprecedented numbers. It's taxing our border states beyond their capacities.
