Sadly true.
The state is willing to shoot you for not complying with their will.
I have walked many a lib-in-denial down this path before. They (most of them) absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge this sticky little fact about empowering the state to impose liberal policy.
I ask “are you willing to shoot me if I don’t comply?”.
Usually I get “don’t be absurd”. But they are empowering and giving their approval for someone else to shoot me if I don’t comply.
I’ll walk them down the series of events that lead to such a shooting, and usually I’ll get “well, you wouldn’t have been shot if you didn’t resist”.
My reply is “I also wouldn’t have been shot if the state would have given up trying to make me comply.”
The biggest attraction of liberalism is feeling good about oneself as a “good person” without any effort,
so pointing out that they are condoning violence completely negates their worldview. They refuse to go there.
