Timestamped in the video below. This video is being passed around on social media right now.
MOD EDIT: Removed video
Not going into details on both sides, but the thing that got my social friends discussing around, both conservatives and liberals, is the idea of giving the citizens the object called "empowerment", starting from where the timestamp begins.
The man in the video said, he disagrees the government should give us handouts, or assistances like food stamps, medical aid, etc. directly to them. If the governments gives you the things you need, you will never going to fight back and "bite the hand that feeds you". Rather, he thinks the government should not do anything. It's not their job to give "handouts", but to give "hand-ups". Meaning, you get to have more control over your life, or in other words, he supports the idea of "individualism", social theory.
The things that my friends are discussing is that. Topics like, how free should one become as the child grows up into adulthood? How to teach the child the things they need to survive? How we shouldn't be teaching the child everything, but rather, let them experience everything themselves?
I couldn't participate in the discussion, so I went out to KFC for snack-down. What I'm not sure about is the idea, in essence, why is line blurred when it comes to providing assistance 100% of the time, or 10% of the time? I need someone to help explain this.
Thanks. If this is a bad topic, just close it.
