No, we can't, because "more vs less government" is an almost purely synthetic wedge issue that is purpose-built to be an ambiguous and adaptable distraction. If you so much as implicitly acknowledge its legitimacy by using it to frame your discussion, you have already lost.
- craftyguy 8y agoThere's very clearly a "more vs less government" stance being taken here. OP very clearly takes the side of "less government". Other comments on HN, reddit, on the street are very typically (when on the topic of regulation) either "regulate everything" or "regulate nothing". If you believe otherwise, then I would LOVE to know where I can mingle with folks who don't see things as one extreme vs another, because that's literally all I see here.
