> These supportive, assistive, incentive-based actions
All of these actions are done with the threat of fines for noncompliance, and the threat of imprisonment for noncompliance with the fines. They are also financed by taxation, which is involuntary and redistributive by nature.
> Then there simply should be more powerful NGOs
If these NGOs do not occur naturally, then there's clearly not enough demand for them. This is supported by your proposal to use authority to force them into existence. I'm opposing the use of authority to intervene in peaceful interaction between citizens.
Instead of forcing the issue, why not just be content with the fact that most people are not interested in forming voluntary collectives, even when it is in their interest, and in spite of the fact that they are free and entitled to, and allow them to suffer the consequences?

How is filing an amicus brief or funding third party groups in danger of anything like that? There’s no regulation involved. > If these NGOs do not occur naturally, then there's clearly not enough demand for them. They already do, e.g. https://www.ofsms.org/ https://www.ofsms.org/ > why not just be content with the fact that most people are not interested in forming voluntary collectives Why are you insistent on claiming the nonexistence of information asymmetry? > They are also financed by taxation, which is involuntary and redistributive by nature. Ah if we go down that route of normative woolgathering then we can next call property theft and even land (or at least rent) theft, and continue this endless wheel of rhetorical Samsara.
