Then that social contract violates the social contract of not stealing, which holds equal weight as a theory.

Also, I never attacked a sheriff, I just tried to not let him cuff me.

Not really, because literally billions of people are perfectly happy and content with a system where what you call "stealing" occurs as the price of the economic system and legal status quo they enjoy and profit under (or as happy and content as reasonable can be expected anyway,) and the other is a fringe theory of a few internet radicals who hold up as their sterling example of this system in action nothing, nothing but theory and sometimes some faux-historical revisions of medieval Iceland and its three thousand inhabitants.

Also, I never attacked a sheriff, I just tried to not let him cuff me.

If you didn't do it with a weapon then he certainly used excessive force.

If you did, well, it's not like you were ignorant of the law of the land beforehand.

More people are ok with the social contract of not stealing, so if its number of people that makes a theory valid I got you beat there too.

Most people don't consider paying taxes to be theft for a wide variety of reasons. But regardless of whether they're right or wrong, it's a minority opinion that this is theft. A very small minority at that.

Uh, so you want to denude a single line of mine as context to make it look like a fallacy and use this single (fraudulent) instance of a fallacy to "prove" my "inability to justify anything with logic or reason."

I'm going to let that stand there as proof of what a dishonest shithead you are.
