A Proud Paternalist

An actual Paternalist on most issues.

This is a thread detailing my ideal conception of government/politics, why it should be that way, and what it might look like 🧵

[Charles @charliefx_]

Strongly believing in your chances of getting favorable outcomes out of life even without enough physical evidence yet

its so funny that men found out that this was what women were doing at their jobs and the men went "im crashing this economy with no survivors"

@mika_atom objectively not true at all, red is by definition the 'nothing happens' button. The only way anyone ever dies is if they press blue.

[A Proud Paternalist @NeoliberalA]

how on earth can you even say this, when it's the EXACT OPPOSITE. Pressing blue is literally the only way ANYONE dies at ALL. BLUE IS LITERALLY JUST THE DEATH BUTTON

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Red is the only button that can cause others to die. It’s that simple

Which do you press? 🔵/🔴

[A Proud Paternalist @NeoliberalA]

there's not any principle in this situation, it's not even a dilemma, it's literally "press the 'live' button - OR - press the 'maybe die' button". It's so clearly virtue signaling for nothing at all LMAO

[notsoErudite @notsoErudite]

Since everyone was very curious my answer, my answer is obviously blue.
Gotta save the naive, the kids, the blue lovers, and the principally hope-pilled people.

You red button pickers need therapy.

The irony is that in a well-ordered society, this would be desirable: The government would be run by middle-aged people tasked with safeguarding the common good, the spirited youth would have fun and build lasting friendships, and the old would remain home and occasionally aid in child-rearing. Instead, we live in a gerontocracy of out-of-touch vampiric boomers, the middle-aged are exhausted wage slaves who will never afford retirement, and the young are either nihilist consumers in for a rude awakening or radicalized by the internet but lacking political agency. The ideal *should* be to have a spirited, carefree youth but this only works when the adults in charge are actually doing their part to protect and *pass down* the common good.
