Republicans, conservatives, statist-libertarians, etc. all ramble on about personal responsibility. However, this includes owning your own violence, taking power over your own destruction and harnessing this capability instead of creating a collective, omnipotent, 'unfightable' power. There is no personal responsibility in creating a state, it is a collective responsibility.
When individuals are given this collective power and responsibility (Stan Lee, with great power comes great responsibility), they become power hungry psychopaths who think they hold the moral authority of society in their hands. Human beings are nothing but animals, and when these people have this power, they become the artificial alpha (fe)males of society and they are threatened by anyone who would challenge this position. Whats worse, the evil of the state only attracts evil to work for it. Only those that are willing to point guns will actually do it and these are our beloved police and politicians... of course, others may be willing to point the gun as well but what separates the 'bad' from the 'evil' is that, one of them claims the moral authority while being a blatant hypocrite. This is why I love the movie Fight Club as it separates the evil from the, more or less, bad or even, amoral.
