On the contrary. If I shoot you as a trespasser, that's an act of self-defense. Contracts have nothing to do with giving me the right of self-defense. That right is inalienable, and does not proceed from any human agreement or institution.
Back when you weren't a trespasser, a contract was what made your presence licit. That's what protected you from my fiery vengeance. When you breached the contract, the protection was removed, and you became a trespasser.
Being a trespasser, my right to self defense is back in force, and I plug you full of lead not because a contract says I can, but because it's my inalienable right as a property owner.
“On the contrary. If I shoot you as a trespasser, that's an act of self-defense. “
As I noted, using your standard our relationship is as if we shared the same forest 10000 years ago. If I think you are going to use force against me for some ridiculous reason of your own (you don’t believe in the social contract and I haven’t agreed to any of the contracts you say I agreed to so we have no commonality) then it is a matter of self defense to use force to prevent you from doing so.
“ Contracts have nothing to do with giving me the right of self-defense. That right is inalienable, and does not proceed from any human agreement or institution. “
Which is why I can use force as noted above.
“Back when you weren't a trespasser, a contract was what made your presence licit. “
There are no contracts between us.
“That's what protected you from my fiery vengeance. “
Yeah, right.
“When you breached the contract, the protection was removed, and you became a trespasser. “
What part of there is no contract between us do you not understand?
“Being a trespasser, my right to self defense is back in force, and I plug you full of lead not because a contract says I can, but because it's my inalienable right as a property owner.”
As I noted, using your standard our relationship is as if we shared the same forest 10000 years ago. You don’t believe in the social contract and I haven’t agreed to any of the contracts you say I agreed to so we have no commonality. That being the case, how do you claim any right as a property owner of land? Who agreed that you could mark off a section of the forest that everybody else was using yesterday and call us trespassers for using it today?
