A couple of things have become clear through this silly exercise.
1) The poster aka YouDontOwnMe will find reasons to avoid engaging
with anyone who has the key to the collapse of his position. He'll
find any reasons to do so, but in the end, he's clever enough to at
least try to avoid a total crash and burn situation.
2) He is ignorant of the concept of how there can be fundamental
human rights and freedom, and how people can then use those rights
and freedoms to choose to make agreements with other people such
their behavior must then conform to the terms and conditions of
those agreements. He'd rather live in a fantasy world wherein
commitments and agreements are made, but then no adverse
consequences flow from having broken them.
3) For his position to hold together, he not only must abandon all
ethics and morals associated with keeping his commitments, but he
must also define what it takes to make an agreement so narrowly that
it defies any sense of logic or human character. In his world, if
he knows in advance that there are conditions to taking what others
have produced or own, he can still take those things without having
submitted to those conditions.
By his logic, if he's told that he'll have to pay for the gas that
he takes from the gas station, and if he's also told in advance of
the totality of the consequences he'd face should he fail to pay for
the gas, once that gas is in his tank, it would be perfectly valid
for him to drive off without paying, and that it would be completely
invalid for anyone to thereafter attempt to compel him to pay for
the gas, even if those attempts were explicitly explained to him in
advance. Clearly, his logic in this case is not only twisted, but
it's without any sense of character, ethics, or morals.
4) He is not above playing word games, or whatever other techniques
that involve misdirection or obfuscation in order to continue his
fantasy. The bottom line is that he wants something for nothing,
and will resort to any rationalization to justify an attempt to get
there.
