*cant reply to the parent anymore, but here is the answer to their 'slipper slope' rant about whats next:
most likely we'll have a nation leveraging its resources and productivity. we will have a nation leveraging its tools of governance to support those things exclusively. we won't have people expecting a governing institution to be an enforcer of things they merely don't like, but instead only promoting actions that make it more productive.
there currently are people that expect government to assume the role of avoiding tacit support of actions, by making it clear that it criminalizes any one found doing those actions, to that government's own detriment. it is less likely that people will expect government to make that choice, as private persons and organizations can do this on their own.
- ausjke 7y agoA police state is 1984 the extreme, on the other hand what you wrote is basically anarchism which is another extreme, neither will work, it's always a trade-off.
- caprese 7y agoits more like the first thing you imagined was anarchy and ignored every scenario that accomplished what I described that is not anarchy where order and productivity is maintained
