Try to focus, son:Sorry, can't sift your response through all that whataboutery. Are you saying you believe something other than government has been protecting you from being blackmailed?Let's skip the whataboutery and cut to the chase. It's not the government's job to protect you from being fired, or to ensure that someone will bake you a cake, or make them buy the insurance you think they should have, or whatever mandate you might have on mind.Ah, you finally admit to being equivocator in chief all along. Well done.Let's simplify this a bit guys, and just dispense with the word you're equivocating on. I'll amend my premise to: "Government should protect us from physical violence, or the threat thereof."
Meanwhile, who's going to protect you from blackmail?
Do you think government should protect you from being fired? Should refusing to employ someone be a crime? Should threatening to fire someone be a crime?
"my premise" <-- you admitting you started this before launching into these transparent attempts at misdirection.
Should blackmail be considered a crime? Yes or No?
If "Yes," who should protect you from being blackmailed?
If "No," what would you rely upon if blackmailed? Vigilante justice?
