Thanks for the tip, i had to try it out because i didn’t knew that. It seems in this case the -9 option does the same as default (delete the AntiMicroX process but not the AppRun one). I also tried with killall and its -g option to include all processes in the same group, but they probably are not in a common group since it behaved the same. Anyway, TIL about these options so thank you !

I guess you mean “without rule” as in “without people ruling” and not as “without norms”, and it is indeed correct. There is a word for “without norms”, which is anomie (at least in french).

Also, i’d argue that states and governance inherently require permanently elevated authority, but if you meant more general meaning for those, like state as organization of masses of people and governance as common decisions for those masses, then i see your point.
