Team Cap or Team Iron Man?

[r0ckyreed]

Which side would you take? Would you support sacrificing individual freedoms for the benefit of greater good or would you value freedoms at the cost of greater good? Team Cap or Team Iron man?

I support Yin and Yang.  Balance is always best for the collective...

The problem is where do you draw the line in your circle for balance? Notice how the line in yin yang is drawn. How do you draw your own line between freedom and greater good?

Most amount of Freedom with the line at protection.  Less government, more freedom, therefore less protection.  The scenarios can go on and on and I try to stay somewhere in the middle.  Do you have something more specific to address.

You are assuming the two are mutually exclusive.

Sacrificing means I guess being left wing. Individual freedom is more right wing.

I never said the two are mutually exclusive. If there is an either in an or statement then it would be exclusive. But if it is just an or in an or statement, then the answer could be both. But again, if you say both, where do you cherry pick. For example,
 

would you favor governmental control over drugs? For me, no.

would you favor governmental involvement over corporations? For me, yes.

How did I draw this line? It is based on my belief that people should have freedom to do drugs but people should also be in check to not corporatize and pollute the environment etc. 

the question is, where do we draw the line between personal freedoms and protection?

i do not favor government to have security cameras in bathrooms, but I do favor the government to overwatch terrorism and crime. See how it is paradoxical? Do you all have this similar problem as well?

I think I will go for Team Cap because the government cannot be trusted to make all the right choices for its citizens but at the same time, we cannot leave matters in individuals hands because of manipulation. Do you see my problem?

We are all one. The 'collective' is a concept in the minds of individuals. There is no difference between individual freedom and collective good. This dichotomy is created at Stage Blue because all stages below Orange are materialistic, so they don't see the Oneness of it.
