The vast majority of humans are actually nice, altruistic and not selfish if you treat them with respect. And hence anarchism would not resolve in everyone killing each other.

Problem is you need more than the “vast majority” to be nice before you feel safe.

I disagree. There can still be a communal security service that resolves conflicts and tries to keep public spaces safe. I read an awful lot about shooting in this thread. I guess that might be a United States of American bias on the web, but still, I don't understand how y'all think going aboiyt shooting others would be the first in anyone's minds if they would be free 😅
