>turning people against their governments to ensure a market for themselves.
If the government is no longer representing the will of the people in a democracy, isn't change the point?
- TeMPOraL 10y agoNot when you change the will of the people to go against their own interest so that you can make a profit.
- pkaeding 10y agoSo who should decide when the people are too dumb to know what are their own interests and their own will?
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIt's the job of the government - to protect the common interest of the society that gives it the power. "People [being] too dumb to know what are their own interests" is pretty much a definition of the term "coordination problems", and humans form governments precisely in order to solve those.
- hueving 10y ago>It's the job of the government In a democracy the government's job is to do what the people want. Claiming it's the job of the government to prevent people from making decisions is antithetical to that.
