Should've screened your private police force better or have just saved the money for a gun.

>>81567

Shoot back or hire your own protection. If the town is large enough for there to be a market for a police force it's large enough for there to be more than one agency in competition.

>>81569

>Should've screened your private police force better

What do you mean by this? They probably never did it before.

>>81571

I can't hire protection if I'm a slave. And as to the last one, the market might be the right size to generally only one police force

>What do you mean by this? They probably never did it before.

Because there's probably some past indication of their behavior. Unless you're suggesting that these were perfectly benign people who all snapped at the same time. Or that this agency employs only high-IQ, high-functioning psychopaths straight from the movies that can perfectly mimic normal human behavior, and for whatever reason choose to work together to expend years of planning, resources, and deception for the express purpose of enslaving this one specific town for at best a couple months before they're stopped.

>I can't hire protection if I'm a slave

I mean before this happens, you dingus. Good job completely ignoring the firearms argument by the way, both times it was brought up.

>And as to the last one, the market might be the right size to generally only one police force

That's a stupid and arbitrary assumption to make. Why can't there be three on-third size protection agencies in this market instead of a single larger one? It's not like sheriffs need strong economy of scale to be effective. Or, why isn't there an agency that specializes in patrolling the streets, and another for PI work, and another for burglary protection? Even if, for whatever reason there's only one protection agency in the area, another could easily be founded by former employees breaking off from their original company to start their own. Or a different company from a neighboring settlement may wish to expand and opens up a branch in this town; the list can go on for quite a while. There's no reason for you to make this dumbass restriction besides to shoehorn a way to make this contrived scenario even the slightest bit possible.

Someone is familiar with Machievelli, I see.

Your question is right.

Just bribe them lmao

Oh, you are poor? Then you pretty much deserve it tbh.

>Because there's probably some past indication of their behavior.

Such as what? A criminal record?

> years of planning, resources, and deception for the express purpose of enslaving this one specific town for at best a couple months before they're stopped.

What are you basing the belief that they will be stopped on? And yes, taking over an entire town's houses and people is going to be worth a lot of money. Since there is no greater law and you could get away with it, it would be very tempting.

>I mean before this happens

Yeah that would work, the question is whether such a company would be profitable.

>That's a stupid and arbitrary assumption to make.

I don't see what 'assumption' I'm making. I am not saying that every town will have one protection firm. I am saying that in this imagined scenario the town is only big enough to support one protection firm.

>why isn't there an agency that specializes in patrolling the streets, and another for PI work, and another for burglary protection?

In that case I don't see that any of these would be protecting me from slavers.

>a different company from a neighboring settlement may wish to expand and opens up a branch in this town

But the economies of scale only support one firm.

Them you are fucked. Accept your fate as normalfag or revolt.

>>81569

Better yet, he should have gone back in time and fore see the future and adquire wizard powers and destroy all statists :^)

Things that you are not prepared for will happen. A fascist will thrive from the adversity, a anarcomongrel/millenialboy will not.

>Make you a slave

What did he mean by this?

>>81755

Pay taxes.

>>81755

Pay rent.

work for food and water nothing else.

>>81567

take them to court
