Just a random theory question and if you don’t know no worries:

I often see this quote attributed to Max Stirner:

“The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime.”

However, despite a good deal of research I cant find this phrasing in any of his written works. However, in both The Ego and His Own and the better translation, The Unique and its Property, I’ve found this similar quote:

“State behavior is an act of violence, and it calls its violence “legal right”; that of the individual, “crime.””

I’m wondering if you know where the “the state calls its own violence…” quote came from when it seems it didn’t come from Stirner’s own pen.

the proper quote is,

The State’s behavior is violence, and it calls its violence “law”; that of the individual, “crime.”

–Max Stirner, “The Ego and Its Own: My Power” (1844); transl. S. T. Byington

maybe someone just got messed up in a rush when they found the quote and missed a couple letters is all

“But there are no wars in Earthsea. No soldiers, no armies, no battles. None of the militarism that came from the Arthurian saga and other sources and that by now, under the influence of fantasy war games, has become almost obligatory.

I didn’t and don’t think this way; my mind doesn’t work in terms of war. My imagination refuses to limit all the elements that make an adventure story and make it exciting—danger, risk, challenge, courage—to battlefields. A hero whose heroism consists of killing people is uninteresting to me, and I detest the hormonal war orgies of our visual media, the mechanical slaughter of endless battalions of black-clad, yellow-toothed, red-eyed demons.

War as a moral metaphor is limited, limiting, and dangerous. By reducing the choices of action to “a war against” whatever-it-is, you divide the world into Me or Us (good) and Them or It (bad) and reduce the ethical complexity and moral richness of our life to Yes/No, On/Off. This is puerile, misleading, and degrading. In stories, it evades any solution but violence and offers the reader mere infantile reassurance. All too often the heroes of such fantasies behave exactly as the villains do, acting with mindless violence, but the hero is on the “right” side and therefore will win. Right makes might.

Or does might make right?

If war is the only game going, yes. Might makes right. Which is why I don’t play war games.

To be the man he can be, Ged has to find out who and what his real enemy is. He has to find out what it means to be himself. That requires not a war but a search and a discovery. The search takes him through mortal danger, loss, and suffering. The discovery brings him victory, the kind of victory that isn’t the end of a battle but the beginning of a life.”

"ur not white ur brazilian" makes as much sense as "ur not a lesbian ur a brunette" or "ur not christian you like peanuts"

from the people who brought you "kinning outside your race is a hate crime", here came "gender envying people outside your race is culturally insensitive"

I think applying 15 filters to make tae darvid look corpse pale in the triage promos should be punished with being killed ten times :/

I’ll attach these equipments on you.

I am hurting nobody by being a little fruity dude who watches too much gay movies and tv shows. I'm just normal and have a hobby. I could be cringe and free but this is a personal reminder that liking little stories where fake people are gay together isn't cringe actually.
