My point was, if an individual rightfully complains about being forced to declare their ideology because of some stupid proposed Governor policy, why wouldn't that same individual be sympathetic when another individual doesn't want to be forced to fund something they have no use for, like a State run University ?
This utopia of "no use for" selfishness will probably never exist. I'm happy some of my tax money goes to the schools in this county, even though none of us have ever been educated in this county. I'm happy about it because I'm not another cliche selfish 'murican and am able to see a picture that's bigger than what's visible in my mirror. Ironically, you think this will improve things, this ME-ME-ME society will somehow be better. It's important to look at who want more freedom. Is it the selfless person that is somehow hindered from helping others, or is it the selfish person that doesn't care for anyone but themselves? Both of them want the same thing, more freedom, but one of them makes society a better place and one of them makes it a shithole.
It's only unlikely because people are caught in partisan politics and don't realize how foolish they look when they whine about being captive to a government policy out of one side of their mouth, all the while championing ANOTHER government policy that they like which burdens other people in the way they were just whining about being burdened. (read that twice if you have to, it does make sense)
This is totally you though, except instead of one side if your mouth conflicting with the other, your actions conflict with your mouth. Every-single-time you use the word "involuntary", it's complete bs. Don't nitpick me on "impossible" and then pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. You're free to stop participating in the program you're dissatisfied with, anytime you want. And I don't mean that in a "love it or leave it" kind of way, I mean it in the "what you want will literally never happen here on any level" kind of way. At some point you have to stop complaining about your neighbor and move so you can live your life the way you want. How sad it is for people to just cruise control their way through their senior years and then die in some lonely place, when they only needed just a little courage to break out of that self-created box.
It's very possible for DeSantis to butt out of peoples lives and for people not to be forced to fund something. like a University if they'd prefer not to. You, like most people want one of the things and don't want one of the other things. Two sides to the same coin. You would inflict your idea on people who disagree with you, as they would inflict their ideas on you. The obvious POSSIBLE solution is for both to stop inflicting on the others.
You're too far down the unrealistic/idealist/purist philosophical rabbit hole. Where do you want to draw the line? Can we get rid of everything that was forcefully funded? Because, that's what you're against, right? So we'll destroy every bit of "involuntary funded" infrastructure and then rely on people's kindness to donate some form of currency to create new infrastructure and we'll trust some "entity"(cough*sounds like a gov't*cough) to hold onto those funds for us until we reach various level needed to complete the respective phases of construction. Republicans absolutely HAAAAAAAATE paying for other people, which is you btw, so they're going to want to make sure their money is only used for them. Are you okay with only allowing people to drive on roads they helped pay for? And if they don't pay very much, they only get to use the shitty unmaintained lane and the better lanes are for those that paid more? What kind of water do poor people get? Poo water?
