Just throwing this out there...most people can't survive without govt.

Does the lion worry about other lions surviving outside it's direct family?

If we can't be concerned with other people outside our family, then we are animals.

Uhh, we literally are animals. You might want to study slightly more.

We are either

plant

Animal

Mineral

No we are not animals. We are creatures, yes, but we are made in the image of God, which confers upon us moral agency. That's something animals do not have. That means seeking the highest good for all, not longing for their desdestruction.

OK commie

Easy Trigger. 🤣 Just let it go. 🤷🫡🫂

I was just entertaining myself 😂

You're entertaining me now. 🤣

Curious how what I said is communist (given communists generally hate God), or have you just been on Twitter too long?

Inferring that we should seek good for all, as a follow up on why you think we need governing. If that's not communism...

Seeking good for others has nothing to do with communism. It's the basic Christian ethic. Do unto others...

Equality of outcomes planned by the state is communism.

Being concerned with other people literally does not require government.

You're not following the train of thought. I said that people today cannot survive without the govt. I did not say I liked the govt or that being concerned with people required the govt.

If they keep getting mollycoddled they never will. Charity and baby sitting is not the government's job. That's for family, friends, and private groups.

Baby-sitting is certainly the role of govt when the people have no moral core. That's why in my view the rule of law and equality under the law is so important. The majority of people, where there is no generational, transcendental standard, cannot rule themselves and must be ruled. We have to fix that before anything else. Self-governance is downstream from morality.

Mollycoddling isn't the problem. The problem is that throughout the west the people have been convinced that they do not need God, which the beaurecrats immediately replaced with the state. Those of us who can self-govern must do so, while we ease away from the state and retrain people to respect God and themselves. I believe the moral perspective is to consider this is a rescue mission.

God is my only ruler.

That's good, but it also isn't true for a large percentage of the population. As John Adams said, self-governance is made for a religious (moral) people.

It's true for me, that's all that matters.

I see no flaws with that plan.

When I lived in Spain, they failed to form a government once and essentially didn't have one for a few months. No-one noticed much other than things seemed to go a bit smoother

Imagine that.
