Concept: The libertarian flag but the snake is a wire and the slogan is "let me do my own electrical work"(my province doesn't let me do my own electrical work)

@stephen You might burn down your house and then people would die, and democracy would look bad, and we might start to think that we are not all equal.That's why.

@amerika @stephen I think it’s totally possible to do that without even bothering with electricity. Gasoline works wonders!

@stephen If that is your opinion, yes, I agree, and will one-up it: babysitting people is always destructive.If you are speaking legally or politically, I must disagree. Voters panic at fears, and civil rights means that equal protection must exist.There is also the cost of fires, and governments are all bureaucracies now.How do you explain to five people in a neighborhood that their homes burned down because the crackhead in unit one wired his stove wrong?

@amerika @stephen the solution to that is for us all to live in detached houses. failing that, If you live in a semi or apartment then maybe you should be prevented from doing dangerous electrical work if you are not qualified. I don't like that conclusion but I dislike the alternative (being at the mercy of someone else's mistakes) even more

@Hyolobrika @stephen @newt It's such a typical human response: people are killing each other, so let's ban tools instead of looking at WHY they're killing each other.

@Hyolobrika @stephen @amerika i saw posters in London subway with instructions what to do if you see someone being attacked with acid. Now that’s totally unsettling.

@Hyolobrika @stephen My answer is this: end the need for state of mind for most crimes.You burned down your house, doesn't matter if you did it to kill Negroes or out of incompetence.You get treated like you did it deliberately.That means that the risk involved in doing the task becomes higher, so only those who know what they are doing are going to do it.

@stephen @amerika Because both benefit from it.One of the 48 laws of power states that you should promise to fix problems but never actually solve them.Why?Because the law of diminishing returns, the more you solve problems, the more irrelevant you become. If you solve all the problems, then there is no more reason to keep you in power ( and you also have no more campaign promises left to use). Both parties want to stay in power, therefore neither of them have any intention to solve those problems.

@newt @Hyolobrika @stephen It's amazing how the normies rationalize social decay like this. "Oh, it's a problem we have to deal with." Yes, and the roots of it are? Can't we deal with the root, instead of applying band-aids to problems created by the stumbling herd?

@TheMadPirate @stephen Even more, most "problems" are insoluble. All you can do is reduce them, at which point not only is there less need for you and spending tax money, but also, you have people wandering around with free time on their hands.We learned from the French Revolution.

@Hyolobrika @amerika I thought about this and this seems like the exact kind of thing the free market can deal with on its own. A landlord can easily put a "don't touch my wires" clause in the lease, and a condo board could do something similar.

@TheMadPirate @stephen @DomesticatedWildling There's a difference between avoiding known paths of failure and trying to save people from themselves.I have no problem with decriminalized heroin and other drugs, and leaving people alone in their private lives. If you're a swinger, gay, smoke pot, etc. that's between you and God/nature.But it has to stay private.

@amerika @stephen The third world model is certainly more obvious, but I think the first world has something very similar although much more subtle like for example the calls for "bipartisan bills" and ingrained lobbyism. Why would any government try to solve the problems created by lobbyism itself when they benefit so much from it?
