I cannot exclude the possibility that I am reactionary, but I speak from the heart on this. I truly believe in individual responsibility being maximized as a preservation of freedom. We don’t control what we’re not responsible for.

That being said, I appreciate your answer and will try to remain open minded and reasonable. My biggest hope is that ceding control to someone else remains opt-in. I don’t hate people for wanting moderation or an algorithm, but I have strong convictions against it being a default placed upon others.

I 💯 agree with you, I’m a decentralist and often get classified as an anarchist, libertarian, or archo-capitalist. But at the center of my philosophy is individual autonomy and sovereignty.

I think everything from taxes to insurance should be opt-in and nothing should be mandatory.

The only laws I support are ones that protect individual sovereignty from abuse or theft like you mentioned above. Nothing else should be legislated. (and I went to law school 😬)

I truly appreciate your passion and conviction, I’ll stand with you any day!

You sir, are a man I can have good faith conversations with. Same here. 💪
