>I would like to discuss what EXACTLY is the social contract?
All humans have inalienable rights. These rights stem from several immutable human characteristics, like the ability to think and associate with whomever you want.
Absolute freedom is dangerous though. So in order to defer some of the responsibilities associated with living in a truly free society, like lynching violent retards burning down apartment buildings, the populace decides to limit their own rights in exchange for letting the state handle that for them.
This is the social contract. It's contingent on the government not unjustly fucking with your shit and promising to protect your shit if needs be. But it also stipulates that any government which violates your rights is illegitimate, because the state would be undermining its reason for being.
If the state violates that contract, for example by importing a bunch of shitskins to your country and imprisoning you for noticing some things, then the powers that were granted to the state are then returned to the people.
Where most retards get this concept wrong is that they wrongfully assume the state has all the power in this relationship. The people always have all the power. They simply choose not to exercise that power either out of respect for the social contract or cowardice.
