one of Goldberg’s insights is there is “Mommy” fascism as well as “Daddy” fascism. With “Mommy” in charge, we are all her children, and by gosh, we had better be GOOD children, happy in her hugging arms. Check out the Canadian Human Rights Commission ‘kerfuffle’ for a great example of this…
When you attempt to argue against government welfare, you are accused of being “mean”: like Bad Mommy. Who wants to be Bad Mommy??? Yet, people like Krauthammer have, in my opinion, made a strong argument that welfare-ism has led to really ugly societal problems, eg, Gaza.
And of course, retaining individual liberty is almost impossible when everyone has an address. I would expect that Nicaragua is kind of spotty on the latter front: and here’s hoping it remains that way!
