RE: Would you prefer to live in a just world? - An argument for liberty
First, @churdtzu, I love you so much for saying this. The last paragraph, especially. I've noticed a surprising streak of violent authoritarianism, lately on facebook. Someone feels powerless about an issue ( and I know they're just venting) but when they take it to a place of advocating the rape of rapists, taking pleasure in the thought of causing pain, relishing "justice," they take a big step towards becoming exactly what they despise. The impulse to protect the innocent can always be channeled into good deeds and always should.
I sometimes think so much could be accomplished if we put 70% of our current policing energy into rewarding and aiding volunteers who are taking initiative in their communities and just totally stopped caring about tail lights, helmets, and so much else.
Much appreciated, @pulpably. I've noticed too, over the last 6 months or so, that many people who I thought were very peaceful people, now seem to think that Trump is really cool, along with the ideas of violent domination, among other things.
I notice you follow @sterlinluxan on here. Maybe this group will lighten your Facebook experience if you haven't already joined https://www.facebook.com/groups/1679321158973580/?fref=ts
Don't get me started on the tail light and helmet thing hahah... Now I live in Mexico so normally I don't have to deal with that nonsense.
Oh wow! Thank you for the group suggestion. I asked to join. :)
