You can't come to me and say "If you don't give me $30k, I'll put a car dump in my backyard".

Surely you understand that this rarely if ever happens in the real world. People don't generally devalue their own property more than the value of the amount they might possibly get by threatening to do harm to their own property. Same as pouring oil in your own lake.

People are hooked on force as the first option, performed by government of course so they are not personally in harms way. They have been brainwashed for generations into thinking that force is the default position in all disputes.
