Statist – A human who believes that external government is moral and necessary and, through this incorrect belief and the actions based on it, actually condones violence, theft, murder, and the destruction of liberty.
Police Officer – A human who wears a silly uniform and holds the dangerous and incorrect belief that he or she has the right to coerce, rob, imprison, or aggress violently against other humans. They believe that these violent actions are necessary to keep order in society. Sadly, most other humans share this immoral and faulty belief. Amazingly, a police officer also believes that when they are not wearing their silly uniform, then they magically lose their right to aggress violently against others. All other statists also share this incorrect perception.
Soldier – A human who wears a strange costume and holds the dangerous and incorrect belief that he or she has the right to coerce or murder other humans. Strangely, soldiers believe that if given orders to take an action by certain people, and they follow the orders, they do not bear responsibility for their actions. Soldiers also believe that their actions of coercion and murder are necessary to protect liberty. Soldiers also have the bizarre belief that when they are not wearing their strange costumes, then they suddenly lose the right to murder. Most other humans share this destructive superstition.
