The state is humanity's abusive parent. We're the grown children establishing healthy boundaries with a narcissist.

Doesn’t matter how it identifies, it is how a State functions that is toxic or useful.

How do you define “inherently” because I know thinkers who say the state only exists to the extent it robs individuals of freedom. Pretty toxic, right? I do think some regulations are useful but who decides how many and by what rights?

They do exist, believe it or not. PSA: “Ad hominem is a type of logical fallacy where someone attacks the person making an argument rather than the argument itself. Definition: Ad hominem (Latin for “to the person”) refers to a strategy where someone responds to arguments by attacking a person’s character or traits instead of engaging with the actual issue. Example: Person A: “I think we should have stricter regulations on pollution to protect the environment.” Person B: “Of course you’d say that, you’re just an unemployed hippie who doesn’t understand economics.” In this case, Person B ignores the actual argument about pollution regulations and instead attacks Person A personally. Let me know if you want different types of ad hominem too (like abusive, circumstantial, etc.).”
