It's also the human condition to justify your actions. You can be brainwashed by a fast food company and think you're actually practising free will when you choose to eat at one. |
What happens in a society that says "freedom" and exalts this mindset, when they collective jump the shark together into collective stupid behavior? America has an obesity epidemic, and you see people here speaking about how government busybodies shouldn't jump in and should leave everyone alone. Not saying the government can't compound problems, but there is this belief that if you have no government (outside of maybe punishing direct violence only) that everything would be just peachy.
