Had to unfollow someone
6 years ago
I had to unfollow someone whom will not be named, because they were literally advocating for government to treat human beings ("society") like actual children, under the idea of keeping them "safe."
I just..
no.
we are not "progressing" towards an "inevitable utopian society" where "society" and automation frees us from being functional responsible adults and replaces it with "society" and overlords. We are not god damned subjects or serfs or peasants or niknaks. We are not being "freed" from that.
No guns, no freedom. No this, no that, no nothin'. Paradise, maybe. For castrated sheep.
The same people advocating for this kinds of shit are the same people gleefully advocating for the elimination of jobs that can't sustain a $15.00/hour minimum wage. Because, "if a business can't afford to exist, it shouldn't." Right before they regulate and policy break a private business to where it can't sustain itself. The same people that think automation will "phase out work and force equitable wages, whatever the job."
Miss me with that.

Interestingly enough, one of my closest friends has many opposing political views from myself on how to run s country, but we both believe in civil debate. It's why we are friends.
