I just wanted to complain about it

2019-09-18 23:11:12 UTC  

Negative space? No, I'm saying competing interests, arising from individuals pursuing their own self-interest, isn't something you want to eliminate, but rather constrain within a framework of law. An example of preserving the ability to compete, let's say in a market, would be anti-trust laws to either break up a monopoly within a market or fine a group of firms colluding with one another to regulate an industry with entry-barriers and so forth, as a means of eliminating competition and maximize profits. Murder is also a given, you confine this within law.

2019-09-18 23:12:18 UTC  

Negative presence I’m sorry

2019-09-18 23:12:30 UTC  

Indeed.

2019-09-18 23:13:28 UTC  

Anyway what did I saw that made you say that? I just want to know the context

2019-09-18 23:13:43 UTC  

It's beneficial to markets, say when you have multiple firms competing to offer a higher quality product at a lower cost. As goes the same for competitive labor markets; laborers competing for higher wages by becoming more productive. I'm merely using this as an example of individuals pursuing self-interest.

2019-09-18 23:14:07 UTC  

You see, there's a fundamental misunderstanding by insinuating we can ever live in peace.

2019-09-18 23:15:22 UTC  

And any attempts at forcing it, eliminating the ability of peoples to pursue self-interest, is futile, ending with what we've observed time and again by ideologues believing they can.

2019-09-18 23:16:03 UTC  

To force people in harmony would require you to force each to forgo what is of interest to themselves.

2019-09-18 23:16:05 UTC  

I think there is also collective interest involved though too

2019-09-18 23:16:14 UTC  

Not in the commie way

2019-09-18 23:16:27 UTC  

But Nation vs Nation

2019-09-18 23:16:42 UTC  

And you should get them to work together

2019-09-18 23:16:49 UTC  

In sync

2019-09-18 23:17:16 UTC  

You can think of families as collectives, the child cannot pursue its own interests

2019-09-18 23:17:27 UTC  

And it’s not really beneficial for a parent to raise it

2019-09-18 23:17:31 UTC  

Now days

2019-09-18 23:17:50 UTC  

But people still have kids (although not as much)

2019-09-18 23:18:13 UTC  

Increasing women’s education reduced birth rates

2019-09-18 23:18:16 UTC  

And collectively when demographics implode that’s a bad thing I don’t see the market fixing

2019-09-18 23:18:19 UTC  

There is always a level of collective interest anywhere you go.

2019-09-18 23:18:31 UTC  

This is a given.

2019-09-18 23:18:47 UTC  

Well yeah, but I think that has more to do with women going into colleges

2019-09-18 23:18:58 UTC  

On a bigger rate

2019-09-18 23:18:59 UTC  

My trouble is how can we actually fight this. Even if we red pill people there are still thousands more being trafficked into our country that will mindlessly vote for the left

2019-09-18 23:19:10 UTC  

But also birth control

2019-09-18 23:19:41 UTC  

Immigration is a good example of collective interests fighting each other imo

2019-09-18 23:19:53 UTC  

But I don’t think we can at this point

2019-09-18 23:19:57 UTC  

Too many are let in they will not assimilate

2019-09-18 23:19:59 UTC  

Unless it’s violent

2019-09-18 23:20:15 UTC  

And thus keep to their own and vote for their own interests, and not those of Americans

2019-09-18 23:20:34 UTC  

I think north America and Europe are on a path of civil wars or being demographically destroyed

2019-09-18 23:20:58 UTC  

We are already on a route for both

2019-09-18 23:21:04 UTC  

Everyone can feel that

2019-09-18 23:21:17 UTC  

Most youtubers hint at it or say it outright

2019-09-18 23:21:39 UTC  

Well even on the ground, look at Oregon

2019-09-18 23:21:50 UTC  

Antifa vs conservatives

2019-09-18 23:21:59 UTC  

That kinda shit has been going on for years now

2019-09-18 23:22:20 UTC  

The left has gone more and more left wing

2019-09-18 23:23:20 UTC  

Snake, I would sway toward the side of replacing collective interest with mutual interest, but you can argue both are the one in the same, though collective insinuates a grander framework of collectivity in a sociopolitical discussion.
