00:00:00.000 I do agree a little bit more with a lot of socialist ideology.
00:00:04.160 We shouldn't have that much more power over everything in our lives.
00:00:11.020 It's been a good conversation. I appreciate your... I like what you're saying, too.
00:00:14.080 Do you think, though, just like this is kind of a question for you guys,
00:00:17.980 do you think that is it better for us to have the power to change our lives
00:00:23.040 and have more power over our lives,
00:00:25.000 or do you think it should be the government kind of holding our hands?
00:00:28.380 So now we're getting into capitalism and...
00:00:31.380 Yeah, this is really controversial.
00:00:34.380 It is, it is.
00:00:37.380 I feel like we shouldn't have that much more power over everything in our lives
00:00:47.380 because I feel like there needs to be organization to some extent.
00:00:52.380 it can't everybody can't just do whatever they want because that would just be entirely chaotic
00:00:58.760 but yeah that's what we're talking about the proper role of government here right
00:01:03.160 so like the government is a good like it's ideal for like keeping the organization and everything
00:01:11.880 um just like fully entirely around the world but yeah i don't know let's pass it over to him
00:01:18.660 I'm, you know, I'll be a little controversial here.
00:01:22.260 I do agree a little bit more with a lot of socialist ideologies.
00:01:26.300 I think that the way Canada runs our health care system
00:01:29.180 and our education system is significantly better.
00:01:32.520 And in Western society, I think we do it the best,
00:01:35.100 especially in comparison to the United States.
00:01:38.440 So I do agree a little bit more with that.
00:01:40.140 And I think that corrupt government and people in the government
00:01:45.180 taking uh not using their power in the right way um is something that that needs to be changed but
00:01:51.960 i also think that uh we need to come together as people so whether that's sorry whether that's um
00:01:58.660 maybe starting uh citizen-led organizations and and moving them up um to the provincial
00:02:05.440 leverage or to the federal levels um but i i think that i i'm a big advocate for everybody
00:02:10.380 helping each other so i'm i'm not a very uh capitalist mindset i'm a little bit more of a
00:02:15.460 socialist uh mindset so i do think that i would rather have the government have a little bit more
00:02:20.060 control um and not control in terms of power of our lives but control in terms of um trying to
00:02:26.940 help everybody out that's what i think i agree with all of you okay all right so i hope you don't
00:02:36.900 I do stand more on the opposite side.
00:02:38.900 No offense taken. I think that's a problem in today's society.
00:02:41.900 When someone's on the opposite end, there's a bunch of fights that go on.
00:02:44.900 I know, I know.
00:02:46.900 Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
00:02:48.900 And I'll be honest, you probably know a lot more than me.
00:02:50.900 And 100% more than me because I don't know.
00:02:54.900 Yeah, we are just students.
00:02:58.900 So would you feel more like a socialist government or more like a socialist society?
00:03:04.900 A socialist government is a little more...
00:03:08.540 I won't lie, there are luxuries of capitalism that everybody enjoys.
00:03:12.020 A lot of people want to make money and they want to have nice cars and things,
00:03:15.680 and that's more difficult when you move less towards capitalism.
00:03:18.340 But I think that a socialist society and especially a government,
00:03:22.220 like the way our government runs now with our health care system and our education system
00:03:25.020 and then maybe tailoring the housing system more how we have the health care and education systems
00:03:30.080 where they're very general and they're there to help all the citizens,
00:03:33.020 would be something that I would advocate for.
00:03:36.620 The way I view it, the best way for everyone to help each other
00:03:42.420 is not to make it so that they're forced to help each other.
00:03:46.840 So the way I see the capitalist system is that it's like,
00:03:51.200 to quote an economist here,
00:03:53.240 it's unanimity without conformity.
00:03:58.680 so everyone gets to work together voluntarily but when you move to more of a socialist idea
00:04:07.200 you you're forcing conformity as well as unanimity but how would you feel about
00:04:12.860 because the way our society has moved is so towards greed and i it's even it's present in
00:04:18.020 in myself and i feel like in everybody i feel like if we move more towards the capitalist society
00:04:22.580 i understand you're saying not forcing people but um i feel like the greed would just continue i
00:04:28.240 if we move towards a socialist society and change the culture of citizens and people,
00:04:35.800 and, you know, we start on a country basis or on a provincial basis and whatnot,
00:04:39.360 and then eventually move more towards a capitalist society after that.
00:04:42.740 You know what I'm saying?
00:04:43.420 Like, I feel like if the government pulled back and we got more money from our taxes and whatnot,
00:04:49.820 I think people would, I don't think majority of people are going to help each other.
00:04:56.080 That's where I stand.
00:04:57.020 like and and i just feel like that's yeah it is like it is kind of human nature to kind of want
00:05:04.420 to look out for yourself and your family that's kind of like that's human nature that's why
00:05:08.720 parents are so protective of their children they want to look after them and stuff and they want
00:05:12.440 to look after themselves that's why people that's why people defend themselves when they're attacked
00:05:16.680 because they want to look after themselves right so it's kind of our human nature um i don't i don't
00:05:22.420 see that having ever changed it has never changed like people have always so to say that we could
00:05:29.700 change that is a little far-reaching i just think there needs to be a balance between the two like
00:05:36.500 it shouldn't like people should agree citizens should be able to agree on like just have everybody
00:05:45.140 compromise like you're not gonna have everything you want they're not gonna have everything they
00:05:49.860 want but you have to kind of meet at the middle otherwise everybody's just gonna get into like
00:05:56.420 these arguments and debates that happen online that you see everywhere otherwise like if without
00:06:03.540 like me by not meeting in the middle everybody's kind of split up and everybody kind of just needs
00:06:09.380 to like stand together and decide what we want to do as like like as citizens and residents of like
00:06:16.980 the same towns and everything i know this has been fun but it's been a good conversation i
00:06:21.460 appreciate your i i like what you're saying too yeah yeah sorry we yeah all right yeah thank you
00:06:26.580 guys yeah thank you thank you awesome
