"Agree with" is loose language, meaningless relativistic marxist claptrap.

I can think of endless examples of laws I might "agree with" that would be patently unjust. Your appeal to democracy and mob rule isn't especially compelling.

A law is just or it isn't.

If it's evil, then no. If this were the 1850s, a Fugitive Slave Act could not compel me to turn in an escaped slave or stop me from harboring runaway slaves.

Non governmental roads can be pretty.

Law of the jungle. What's good and right is whatever us bullies say it is.


You don't like me taking your lunch money away, squirt? Sorry, me and my gang said that's justice around here. Hand it over, with or without your teeth.

In my book, a single man with a gun or a gang stealing from someone and/or enslaving them, while claiming some legal right to do so, is tyranny. Full stop.

The every day tyranny of public roads weighs as heavy on the libertarian heart as mansplaining weighs on the poor, poor feminist heart. These issues are very serious.

LEL, nice chunking out the "mansplaining" and "feminists" after scurrying back to your cobwebby little Motte. The Bailey isn't very comfortable for you, better stay in there where you don't have to actually ever make an argument.

My what?

I was still waiting for a single example of mass infrastructure projects sans the state.
