If we are being honest, Trump isn’t that conservative, but he’s also not a corrupt monster and he’s proven himself to me so I’m not too worried about his big spending, for now
There are plenty of big government ideas that we actually agree with around here (like I bet if an AR was offered to every able bodied man without a criminal history we would be cool with that, space program, infrastructure projects, defense projects, drug price reform, breaking up big tech), we all just know that socialism, in general, won’t work in practice because people at the top will just take and take and fuck most everyone else over
I think where a market can exist it should. I cant wrap my mind around private roads. Especially since big tech and even payment processors have kick people off. For me it comes down to keeping any form of power in check.
Ive been reading about distributism. Its kind of a halfway point between capitalism and socialism. The problem exists for, as with many things, "who decides". Its an interesting idea though

Yeah
That’s what makes blockchain/distributed ledger so interesting
It actually could, in theory, address a lot of, to my view, entirely solvable problems in voting and economics
