Let me say that I am not interested in converting anyone into anything. I am a libertarian myself and I would at least love to spread the knowledge of libertarian philosophy and make people aware about the dangers of large government. I would also like people to know that politicians have not arrived from heaven, they are regular people like you and me, they care about their own self interest first (staying in power) and it's dangerous to think of them as saviors or messiah.
- gloob 17y agoI haven't had much sleep, so my apologies if I'm just misunderstanding, but this part: I am a libertarian myself and I would at least love to spread the knowledge of libertarian philosophy and make people aware about the dangers of large government. I would also like people to know that politicians have not arrived from heaven, they are regular people like you and me, they care about their own self interest first (staying in power) and it's dangerous to think of them as saviors or messiah. sounds like "I just want to inform people of my belief system and hopefully they'll start believing it too", which I feel is more or less synonymous with "I want to convert people". I mean, if I ran across a post like: Let me say that I am not interested in converting anyone into anything. I would at least love to spread the knowledge of Marxist philosophy and make people aware of the dangers of their corporate overlords. I would be rather confused at the apparent contradiction between the two sentences.
