All of us, Democrats and Republicans, libertarians and communists, tradcons and feminists and cybertranstopians, believe in philosophies that could, if given real power, do harm to people because of their failings. We can not predict what government enforcement or cultural dominance will really look like, and all the mistakes the fallible humans instituting it will make.
The question is not the purity of our mission at the outset, but if, when confronted with these grievances, will we acknowledge them and try to fix them, or will we declare all complaints as trivial, hoaxes, distractions, “not the real problem,” and double down on our vision?
Tell me you’ll give a damn when the errors start mounting up in lives destroyed, and I don’t really care what form of government you pursue.
I’m sympathetic to this, though finding someone who is both that pragmatic and that compassionate is difficult, much less putting them in power.
