- LadyCailin 3mo agoWe need regulation, yes, but also people who have a sense of goodness. We can’t legislate every aspect of a respectable society.

- mschuster91 3mo ago> We can’t legislate every aspect of a respectable society. Well it's either capitalism and regulations with no end in sight to make sure that the rich don't exploit their power to exploit everyone else, or it's random executions of bosses for "moral wrongdoings", or it's something between communism and socialism. All three carry different forms of dangers.

It will have a cost. German has a related expression "vorrauseilender Gehorsam" (anticipatory obedience), where people will do evil long before they are forced to because of such strategic considerations. You must never rush to give up your morals, there will be plenty of time to do so later.
