You mean like when you called me a masochist that supports grandpa’s suffering a tormented death?

I didn’t argue against that point because it’s absurd. And you are correct, that was not you - my mistake.

Statist is not an insult any more than conservative is.

Are you implying that you know better than I my intent in using a word? I think that’s pretty absurd. If I wanted to use a pejorative, I would find one better than statist. I am simply making an observation, not an insult. You are defending state actions and assigning them moral superiority based only on the fact that the state decreed them. That is - definitionally - statism. You are an agent of the state and treat the state as an authority with moral superiority.
