It’s a question that requires no thought experiments, no hypotheticals. It does require the ability to place safety and order above whatever fantastical principles you may entertain. But it should come down to the reality of the world in which we live and the hope for a future of flourishing and peace.
Well said. It really is that simple. We want to live in a country with a culture of peace and stability. These aren't ambitious goals or impossible achievements, yet our ruling elite have deemed it out of reach at this time. "Because we live here and want things this way" is a perfectly acceptable reason.
We do not have to justify or explain with ideology or economic theories why we do not want invasions of our homelands by foreign peoples. We want a peaceful homeland for our families, free of invaders because we want it, period.
I see all of our libertarian friends in a tizzy about the tik-tok ban. My kneejerk reactions:
-these chicoms are transing our kids and making them retarded, yeah, ban it. Ban any propaganda weapons from other nations.
-no, not a slippery slope. Power will do as it wishes, but good fucking luck going to war with elon musk
-I see these libertarians and almost want to believe that they're idealistic idiots. But my guess is that if we follow their donations, they gettin tik-tok cash
Am I nuts, missing the plot or is this whole thing kinda retarded?

And if you can't understand that, you're the problem.

Truth
They prefer chaos and always have
It really is just that simple.
You tell ‘em Pete!
Chaos vs. Order
Those are the choices. What lends itself to that and what doesn't? What is to be embraced and what is to be avoided?
Offtopic sanity check if anyone will indulge me.
