- exe34 1y agoif you love freedom so much, you should move to Somalia! no government to tax and regulate your life!
- potato3732842 1y agoAh, yes, the false dichotomy. Stop peddling government that sucks so much and people wouldn't hate it. It's not even about the taxes and the regulation. It's about the de-facto inequality under the law masquerading as "regulation" that I can't stand.
- exe34 1y agoLibertarians seem to hate freedom when it's offered to them.
- potato3732842 1y agoThis isn't a political spectrum problem. It is a people problem. You can live in a successful society with high touch government, or low touch government. They can both work, The problem with the former is that government power attracts people like you who have some end (keeping Zuck down or whatever) you want that people don't agree with (hence why you must co-opt existing institutions rather than build them) and so reasonable safety regulation turns into protectionism and industry handouts, etc, etc.
- exe34 1y agoLetting industry police itself gives you Boeings falling out of the sky. I'm not attracted to power myself thank you very much. It's too much effort trying to help society and having people like you wreck it. As you can probably not tell, I don't work well with idiots.
- array_key_first 1y agoYes, correct, the only people opening schools should be governments or highly skilled private actors who proved they are highly skilled. Otherwise we get children who grow up into neanderthals and the country goes to shit. I quite like living somewhere with a decent literacy rate. Let's keep it that way.
