In this episode, Logan and Matt decide to do a deep dive into the history of the state. Incompetence or malice, doesn't matter. The state has been the greatest abuser of human rights, murder, and wasted life and human capital in our recorded history. They dive into the term Democide, break down numbers of people who have had their lives snuffed out by warring states, take a turn with some tyrants, and rant about why we shouldn't trust the state with any more power. None! They make the argument for decentralization of power as a way to decrease the ability the state has to influence your life.
