I noticed lot's of people were very anti government right up until the moment the parties swapped power. Now suddenly people hated the government before are begging for more intervention.

Conversely a few people I know are suddenly coming around to limiting government like they never considered 2 years ago.

Followed for being one of the few who hates government no matter who currently runs the show.

I have a weird relationship with government. I hate it, but I accept that it exists. I just want it to go back to its basic role: protecting our negative rights. To me, that’s its only legitimate purpose. Anything beyond that starts to feel like a power-hungry leviathan trying to grow even bigger.

Government is the greatest violator of my negative rights though.

I think government and individual rights are incompatible concepts. People only fail to see it because they have installed a lot of semantic stop signs along that path of questioning.

I definitely agree that government is the greatest violator of our negative rights. But isn't it because their mandate now goes beyond negative rights into "positive" rights?

It is because at its core government as we know it is without consent of the governed.

Definitely agree on that

What's really going to bake your noodle later on is realizing it must paradoxically violate its 'basic role' in order to fulfill it

Isn't that only the case with taxation?

That's just temporary. Take it as excitement that seemingly something terrible was stopped. Let's see what terrible is coming.

Hi bill 🤟🏴‍☠️😉 nice to meet you 🤝

I’m not anti government because of who’s in charge. I’m anti government because I read history. Simple 🤷‍♂️

So few of us read history these days I assume services like this are the only thing keeping history books in print.

💯 and greetings from the lonely world of consistent deontological anarchists.

It's a neverending cycle based on who is in power. You get used to it.

If only we could get both sides to simultaneously prefer returning power to the states. The dark truth is both sides don't want to be left alone; they want to impose their will on the other side.

Starting my crypto trading journey has been an incredible experience, especially with the guidance of my manager’s new trading plan. The financial progress I’ve made is beyond what I expected earning $150,000 is a great milestone for someone new to this space. The support from the company has been outstanding.
