No there isn’t a good reason for the nanny state and giving the government more power over your life
replyHow are nanny corporations any better?
replyNanny corporations don’t have a “monopoly on [legalized] violence” and can’t compel me to do anything with guns
reply1980 wants it's republican talking point back.
replyIt's 2026, we've seen that free speech absoluters don't actually care about protecting all speech.
We've seen 'small government' and 'no government power over your life' supporters suddenly just fine with it when women's right to choose is taken away by the government. Or when the government wants to decide/legally enforce gender their gender definition.
We've seen the 'less government' people do nothing as the Feds trample local laws, illegally seize voter roles (voting is a states issue), attempts to inject federal requirements into elections and attach what is a large cost for some people to the right to vote.
So we're going to need more nuance than a disengenuous 1980 platitude on the topic.
So you just listed all of the things that corrupt capricious government can do abd you want to give that same government power?
