Statism-- Irrational excess and threats
I ran across a statist who assumed he was being reasonable about governing "better". He admitted that change is probably necessary but he advocated "rational reform based on moderation and compromise".
There's no such thing.
If you advocate political government you are advocating neither moderation nor compromise. You are advocating excess and making threats. You are demanding a one-size-fits-all approach, and the minority is just out of luck. That's not rational.
Those who would call for "rational reform based on moderation and compromise" are always government supremacists who would be upset that anyone would resist their enlightened benevolent governing. After all, "government is necessary". Statists are both irrational and superstitious. They are also elitists.
What they seek to rationally reform is those loopholes of liberty they don't like... by closing them. They propose to compromise them away because they are uncomfortable allowing them to exist.

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"
In that book, he describes what you have to do to change a structure (such as a govern-cement)
Currently, the problem is the structure. And changing the structure requires (currently) us to wipe away the old structure and erect a new one.
That doesn't fall into the realm of "moderation and compromise"
Once again, your image is intriguing me. Sherlock Holmes, perhaps, solving the mystery of statist "logic"?
Yeah, or an empty hat "believing" it is being rational. Either one works. Sometimes I just use a kind of random picture that seems to fit, if only in my own mind. LOL.
Compromise with statists never moves toward greater freedom.
