I think you're doing the thing I'm literally railing against; I believe the tendency to turn a relatively simple concept like "we should have a society that has peace and also favorable trades" into IDEOLOGY is precisely how we end up with overreach.
- kubb 3mo agoIdeology isn't something you can avoid. It's always present in a society to support the power structures. Conflating "just having markets" with the current form of capitalism in western countries is exactly the kind of work needed to uphold the "obvious truths" that keep things going.

- kubb 3mo agoChina has its own ideology which upholds the power structures over there. It's very different from its western counterpart. Part of it is that yes there may not be freedom of expression, but thanks to the Party's competent guidance the great Chinese nation is restoring its rightful place as a world leader.
