Individual self control vs corporate chemical addiction machines... Regulation is a good thing - it helps citizens save their energy for their own lives, inste

  This is a form of the argument "we must protect people from themselves". Look, there are a lot of religions out there that push feelings, take advantage of people and encourage false beliefs. We should help citizens save their energy for their own lives and regulate Buddhism as the required state religion. That way citizens don't have to navigate all these religions.

    Usually education is the selected weapon against the latter, which means I could probably bastardize education into saying "we must protect people from themselves" If you genuinely don't think the massive power imbalance between for-profit food providers and individual citizens should be regulated to prevent the use of addictive chemistry, do you also spend your time regularly arguing for all drugs to be legalized?
