    Social contract theory is statist propaganda. Even before I knew anything about politics or political theory I was so confused by this idea.

    It’s just there to create an illusion of consent for state oppression. Even though there’s no realistic way to opt out, and we never even decided to opt in in the first place.

    What kind of crazy contract is that?
