The left gives themselves new political powers which then get used by the right when they’re in power. The right give themselves new political powers which then get used by the left. It spirals toward more centralized government over time.

Keeping government limited is like constantly passing the marshmellow test, delaying immediate gratification for longer-run benefit.

Unfortunately it is a power ratchet. Once acquired, new powers are never relinquished.

I'm starting realize the only thing government does is create and amplify problems and bounce around the illusion of solving the problem between parties with the intended goal of simply staying in power and so-called relevant but they don't fix any problems we the people have because they would beco...

And all we really had to do (in the US) was almost nothing. We seem to be overall better off in a gridlock. Just do almost nothing.

Every new law removes an extra piece of freedom.

The government divides the citizens against each other which distracts the citizens from the natural state of the government being the common enemy of the citizens.

A wise man will not create a rule that he wouldn’t sanction if it were used against him. Wisdom is so dearly missed these days as collective time preference shortens.

Every new power is a weapon. Once created, it will be used. Not returned, not forgotten and definitely not restrained.

If the government was not actively seeking to profit from the citizenry it would probably be a really nice thing to have. The state does provide services, But one needs to reach a point of desperation to realize them. Whether anyone uses the services the government provides is not a qualification fo...

Governments taking the marshmallow test is immediately eating the marshmallow and then shaking down the test administrator for at least half of his marshmallows because he didn’t declare them all when entering the room.

The govt pendulum swings to the right then to the left but it also grows longer in the process. Ever increasing the size of govt over time

It's like the chart that shows inflation rising regardless of which party is in office. Is the government headed towards greater and greater totalitarianism? Yes Democrat, yes Reluican, yes

If only is was written into the constitution that they didn't have ever expanding powers. Something like: "any powers not specifically given to the federal government by the Constitution, nor withheld from the states, are reserved to those respective states, or to the people."

Name one single example of "the left" in USA. Because you are clearly talking about liberals (far right authoritarians) when you say left. Bernie Sanders is considered a right wing moderate outside of USA. Y'all are so badly brainwashed and indoctrinated it makes me sick to think about.

The bug of the democracy is when a more popular person comes he can pass more terrible laws, accelerating demise further. So in that case voting to target 50/50 populairty should be the nash equilibrium for the libertarians.

Democracy is legalised mob rule.

But real “right wing” should restrict government power instead. Todays politics is just a theater to keep us taxed, divided and conquered.

Getting rid of government is the final stage: when you realize marshmallow's are shit for you and you are better off without them.
