  • Securing the resources to spend on communal projects that benefit the state is one of the many reasons that state employs violence against its citizens, yep.

    Roads are a great example because across the world, major road projects were always built to speed up the military getting to and putting down rebellious provinces - bearing arms against their subjects.

    All states are instruments of violence, that’s their sole function. Anything they do that makes our lives easier is just the velvet glove over that iron fist. It’s easy to pretend otherwise when the state hasn’t turned its violence on you yet.












  • Senators accept bribes from various industries and wealthy individuals in order to block or advance legislation on their behalf.

    Because a Senator’s electorate is the entire state, they are more likely to be servants of large state-wide industries like dairy in WI, oil & gas in TX, etc.

    This is as opposed to the Congress, where the make-up of their specific district can alter which moneyed interests they benefit most from serving.

    Every state has only 2 federal Senators, compared to a variable amount of congressional reps based on population. So individual Senators are generally considered more powerful.
