China?
Singapore
I’d rather die than live in a socialist state.
Hyper-Capitalist (that's not the point), but very Autocratic
Very authoritarian
Attika where do you live?
I hate authoritarian governments. Government needs to stay the fuck out of my life. Run the politics but stay out of my life and how I live.
US. Central US
Well there are socialist policies spearheaded by Republicans
Socialist policies, some of them. Can be okay.
@Attika You as an individual may think that, but thinking in terms of the general population - it is a proven fact people prefer *security and order* over *freedom*
I said Socialist state
Most US residents conflate those two
Anyone who would trade their Freedom for security deserve neither and will lose both.
My mistake
I treat it as such
It cannot be proven
It can be disproven even
Hong Kong and Singapore are great examples
The moment the government tells me how many kids I can have, what beliefs to have, or how I make my money, they have gone too far.
I don’t care.
I disagree on that
The government *should* direct these aspects of everyday life for the average citizen, keep in mind i say average
I’d rather be dirt poor and freedom of speech than have a cozy life and no rights.
No.
The average person is not very intelligent
No.
No.
And no.
The intelligent, may have freedom, but the average
I am a guy who’s not super intelligent.
They must be controlled in order to maximize the strength and efficiency of the nation
I run a business, have a family, and I want a bunch of kids.
If the government interferes with any of these things... they have gone too far.
Do you know how many people in the US should die before I lose my right to freedom of speech and right to bear arms?
All of them.
@Attika We have a fundamental difference in our worldview concerning authority and power - one which i doubt can have a middle ground. We can however still be respectful of one another, so thanks.
Yes
Just don’t take my rights away and I won’t have to give you a severe case of lead poisoning. 😂😂😂 lols jk....sorta. 😂 thanks for the polite discussion.
