Why YOU have to be a good person
So I was thinking about economic externalities and what a stupid idea they are (externality basically being a synonym for "not my problem"), and how governments should force companies to take responsibility for their products' side effects (e.g, smog from cars, cancer from polluted food, property damage from drunks etc), otherwise the cost will be borne by the taxpayer or private individuals who had nothing to do with creating the problem.
Then I thought, why should the government have to force them? Why don't they take responsibility? Well of course all major corporations these days are run by a bunch of selfish cunts who only care about coke and their profit margin (Inb4 Zig Forums, just saying neoclassical corporate capitalism is the equally bad other side of the shekel).
Then it occurred to me. The very reason these businessmen need regulation is because they're bad people. There's only one way to live long term on this planet, and that's to look after it so it remains a comfy home for us. And there's only 2 long term ways to achieve that;
1) People take responsibility for their own actions and do things that are net positive for our ongoing symbiosis with the world ecosystem, allowing us to keep developing as a civilisation without destroying our own life support and without the need for much authority to keep us in line because we do it ourselves (ironically releasing CO2 is actually good for the biosphere).
2) People say fuck it, not my problem, let someone else deal with it, I want to get ahead by any means necessary. They then need a world government to regulate everything they can and can't do, because they're incapable of controlling themselves. When people are bad people, they NEED a totalitarian government to stop them fucking things up for themselves and everyone else.
So what I'm saying is that the reason we have to be good, responsible people that means you, user is because that's literally the only way to have a free society. Bad people must be controlled for the good of everyone, so the more bad people there are, the more a tyrannical world government is warranted, even wanted, by the masses. Perhaps the state of the young left nowadays is less of a result of an attempt to brainwash. Perhaps it's much more simple than that- there is an effort to make people simply worse, so more control is justified.
Communists are bad people is an under used meme, I think. It's literally their core defining characteristic. Same with mindless consumers.
