Freedom vs Law & Order
Sometimes freedom and law & order are trade off. Which one do you value more? First column is your political leaning and second colomn is which one you think is more important.
freedom but most people are stupid so am in favor of asymmetric paternalism
Ha ha. “Liberal” or “conservative” since there are only 2 kinds of people. How about people that just believe in freedom? A liberal or conservative do not actually believe in freedom. The measure I use is “what will you put people in cages for?”
Great point! Everyone wants change until you have your way and resist change once it is your way!
The people are represented by two separate but equally important groups.
You can only have freedom with law and order.
“Those who decide to trade freedom for safety or security deserve neither.” - Benjamin Franklin Has never been more true than it is today.
Law and order comes first. Without securing them first you can't effectively exercise your freedoms.
They're complementary, not opposed. Laws and regulations protect people's rights which ensure they can live free lives.
There can be no freedom without laws. But the laws should not go much further than maintaining the freedom Generally, nobody (including the government) should meddle into any affairs between two consenting individuals. Unfortunately, neither party likes freedom. They're both authoritarian.
Exactly. Government should be limited to having the monopoly on force. That’s it.
There is no trade off. Law should be minimal but unquestionable.
