The "or else" goes away. There are no other options. It's only "this is happening". If a toddler is refusing to wear their shoes. Taking away their toys isn't force. It's coercion.

Reserved exclusively for police, and even they have limits. Even the police can't force you to have surgery. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HellAwaits@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Hair splitting permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Steve@communick.news 4 points 3 years ago Forcing someone, is a massive escalation.
