This is an excellent example of the liberalism at the heart of the attitudes of many so-called anarchists. You can't run a society where the law is opt-in unless we're casting all of these people into effectively a penal colony where there is no law and warlords reign supreme when they opt out (which I think would be inhumane and amount to cruel and unusual punishment).
Unfortunately for them, democracy does not mean that you get whatever you want, it means following the majority decision. I agree that we shouldn't have government officials imposing unpopular policy on the majority, but if the majority supports a policy for how society should be run, then you can't just go "nah" because that's not how the law works.
Ugh yeah you’re right it would be cruel and unusual. I must resist my curiously and schadenfreude.
