No don't like this. Countries aren't corporations. Last time we tried that it was called fascism.
Idk much about fascism but I don't think my views are close to it. Afaik it relies on patriotism and nationalities and similar kind of stuff. I don't believe in any of that. But I do believe that my English is not the best so it can be easy to misunderstand what I say
Fascism is the merging of the corporation and the state. Ignore the bullshit redefinition the US pulled out of their ass so that it wouldn't apply to themselves. Kind of like how liberalism was redefined from class collaboration (what fascism is about) to being about progressivism.
Corporations should never control any states. It is what an evil corporation is. What I meant is that ultimately a government is a service because it has basically the same idea and that it must never force anyone to obey it. Laws can and should exist (it's one of the important government's services after all) but military service is a different thing
You're either for a country or you're not. It's really that simple.
It's not, mister. It's really not. People like you make this world more aggressive. I'm not trying to fight you though. And I don't have the energy or even the knowledge to explain. Nothing is simple. Hopefully at some point you will understand it. Though it probably would be nice to have this world simplified a little ngl
Must be so easy to be on the side of evil these days. You don't even need to do anything and you win.
