    “Yet you participate in society.”

    Edit: in case anyone wants to understand, which this person doesn’t seem to, the problem with “you hate the cops yet you call them” is twofold:

    1. A lot of us don’t call the cops. They’re useless at getting anything stopped or fixed, they tend not to care when it’s reported and often will only make your life worse. However, sometimes due to how the law and money work, sometimes we have to call them. Which leads directly into…
    2. The cops have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. That means that anyone trying to get justice in any other way than that sanctioned by the state will be in trouble with the state. The police’s monopopy alienates us from our own means of defending ourselves. We have to beg for scraps of justice from the table of our masters.
