The Big Government Crowd

Post by MSimon »

The big-government crowd is drawn to the compulsory nature of centralized authority. They can't imagine an undirected social order. Someone needs to be in charge—someone who knows better.

Now we know why chaos is always supposed to be evil at least according to Progressive types, who always seem to need big massive plans and committees and such. Everyone the same, marching to the same drummer. No matter how chaotic liberty is it can never approach the damage that those crave absolute order have done and will do again, if we let them.

Liberty is micro adaptive - central control is macro non-adaptive.
