Why Statists Think We're 'Not-Nice'

Bret McAtee / The Backwater Report:
Here we find part of the reason that those who reject statism have such a difficult time in persuading others. Statists come to us in honey and sweetness. Those who are part of that system that just want to 'care for us' are just trying to be 'nice.' This damn niceness is going to kill us all. It is exactly that observation, and the way it is stated, that causes others to recoil at those who are anti-Statists. Anti-statists reject the niceness of the government 'help,' and that rejection is seen as 'not-nice,' hostile, belligerent, and even mean-spirited.
