    Default build a government with grind

    This is just a giant thought experiment.

    Lets say this is post-apocalyptic, or just small agrarian society.

    5,000 people in your city. there could be other cities but none nearby.

    where do we start?

    There will have to be some kind of Court set up, to deal with transgressions or even minor disputes.
    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    I don’t think we can. You’re a libertarian and a psychopath. It’s not possible to build a government with you unless you will agree to be a figure head like Prince Charles. Somebody who will look pretty but do and say what he’s told too.

    Would you agree to that?

    spartan society. all citizens should be taught warfare and combat. all must serve to be eligible for public office.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
