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.
To force people in harmony would require you to force each to forgo what is of interest to themselves.
I think there is also collective interest involved though too
Not in the commie way
But Nation vs Nation
And you should get them to work together
In sync
You can think of families as collectives, the child cannot pursue its own interests
And it’s not really beneficial for a parent to raise it
Now days
But people still have kids (although not as much)
Increasing women’s education reduced birth rates
And collectively when demographics implode that’s a bad thing I don’t see the market fixing
There is always a level of collective interest anywhere you go.
This is a given.
Well yeah, but I think that has more to do with women going into colleges
On a bigger rate
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
But also birth control
Immigration is a good example of collective interests fighting each other imo
Too many are let in they will not assimilate
Unless it’s violent
And thus keep to their own and vote for their own interests, and not those of Americans
I think north America and Europe are on a path of civil wars or being demographically destroyed
We are already on a route for both
Everyone can feel that
Most youtubers hint at it or say it outright
Well even on the ground, look at Oregon
Antifa vs conservatives
That kinda shit has been going on for years now
The left has gone more and more left wing
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.
Can you get more specific?
I kinda know what you mean
I would argue mutual interests
Not forced by the state
Well, you and I may have a mutual interest of ensuring the weeds growing in our yard don't overtake and spread to one another's gardens, but that's quite different from elevating the nomenclature of collectivity. Mutual interests can be found all throughout the scales of human institution, and that's how common and civil council is to be pursued, a given, but States certainly shouldn't be authoritatively imposing the interests of some at the cost of others, and this also leads us to arguments for federalism, to distill government down to the lowest levels of state, then to district, to enable communities to govern themselves differently from those of their neighbors, say should one decide to increase taxation to fund some perceivable public good in one, without meddling in the affairs of the other.
I don’t think you need to have laws making people collectives, they do it on their own
