the entire legal regime of the united states is actually a function of private commercial law

I mean, they aren't entirely wrong...

LOL. I suppose if anything, there's a hint of unwarranted optimism in their belief that all their frustrations with the modern world are just one confusing layer deep, and all they need to do is scrape the dirt in just the right places and a logically sound and egalitarian utopia will be there for them.

I can retain just a bit of sympathy for people who sort of intuitively, even sub-consciously, realize that it's bonkers for the richest country in the world to have an utterly inadequate social safety net and for life to be so expensive. The response, though, is not useful or reasonable, and I reckon most of the ones who bother to vote will likely vote in a way that forces the Overton window to the right.

Then there's the assholes who just want to skip out on child support or debts that they can good god damn well pay due to the benefits they've already accrued under the current system.
