'Forcing' a moralistic view is something one does when they call for the state to intervene where they are not supposed to.
That's a harsh word to use for what we do when we have online conversations with the goal of convincing those we talk to.
What we are doing is calling for less government. Which means less force by default. I don't want the state apparatus to take a moral ground on anything. I actually don't want the state apparatus to do anything. That's where I'm coming from.
I agree with your wants, I have the same wishes.
Are they utopic? Probably.
Lobbying government is part of the process humans go through with respect to the state aparatus.
I find it hard to imagine people stopping to do this, even the ones who agree with you on shrinking government intervention.
Re: If someone feels the state aparatus is here to stay, they might fall into the purview of lobbying it to accomplish their bidding.
A tragedy of the commons type scenario if you will.
Lobbying them to stop lobbying is quite obviously pushing your moralistic view onto them.
I find this to be a waste of time, as the response will be them pushing their moralistic view onto you.
Stay neutral & observe - in essence, judge less.
You're describing reality as it is. I hear what you're saying. You're saying it's simply how things are and want me to face it. I am with you there.
But I do believe there are people who truly care about freedom in its true sense, so it's very important to keep talking about what ought to be.
