I would like to introduce you to industrialization, technology and automation. We aren't quite there yet, but we are well on our way to the point where production and manufacturing will require no meaningful human involvement of any kind.
As far as mandating people to do things? Yes. Because free will and freedom are the literal most important virtues to me and a lot of americans.
So let's clarify something here my dear libertarian edgelord.
Do you believe the police and the court system should only serve those who are able to pay for their services out of pocket?
If your answer is yes, that's not law enforcement, that's a protection racket.
Do you believe the military should only defend those people or organizations that can pay for their defense out of pocket? Or can Canada or Russia just annex Alaska if Alaskans can't find the money to pay for their defense?
If your answer is yes, that's not a defense policy, it's a protection racket run by warlords.
You apply your own alleged values completely arbitrarily. It's so PROFUSELY idiotic that it won't stand up to even the most basic cursory examination. You don't understand what the social contract is, nor what it provides.
If you actually believed in your own bullshit you'd fuck off and go live somewhere where your values are applicable...which is basically about 2 completely failed states somewhere in Africa and maybe Afghanistan. If you are unwilling to do that, than you are a hypocrite and a fucking moocher on the civilized society where you happen to find yourself and whose wellbeing you are actively sabotaging.
Your values aren't American. Your values are dumb and un-American, because you refuse to take responsibility for yourself and for your place in society, you are the polar opposite of what you think you are.
