Where less freedom has led to higher living standards

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.

I would say you are not correct, but not wrong. Neither am i correct nor wrong - a system of government cannot work everywhere

Democracy cannot work everywhere, Autocracy cannot work everywhere

I just want the government to stay out of my life.

I deal with them on a regular basis. I know a family who lost their kids to the government for no reason.

The government is as bad as any mega Corp.

But do you realize, that for situations not concerning you - other countries, democracy may not be the best model.

Yes.

Countries with cultures that don’t respect individual rights.

I don’t want to force people to conform to another government.

Individual Rights are not inherently good

I disagree

Key Word: inherently

You have influence on a government at least

You’re individual rights allow you to type these words.

oh

I only care about the US.

@Attika I do not share that view

@Maksim what do you do?

While i am ultra-nationalist, im not isolationist

@Attika Work?
