Why TheAmazingAtheist's statism makes no sense

His video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAqJdzV80Rg

I look at the philosophy of statism.
The only way to rationaly support statism is as a goal, as an ideal. Not as a means to an end, to do so requires a leap of logic. Why not just defend your idea of morality, consistantly, whatever if ay be.

Man must sleep. He wants to be sure that someone is watching-over his treasure as he sleeps. Somehow that evolved into government.

Maybe

Or, Man must rest. Meanwhile, SOMEBODY's got to keep pushing on the world (or else it stops turning, and obviously GOD's not gonna do it lol). And government evolved from that.

No purpose; it just evolved for no reason.

'Justice' is just 'rearranging everything so one can be at-peace with it.' Which one? Depends, Which justice?

Justice is bullshit. Its no point digging deaper down into it. It doesnt exist.

The best possible society is the society that will be preferable for most of the people. Which means that any society that isnt preferable to people, weather it be left or right will eventually loose to the society that IS preferable.

Therefore, political "stands" an un-necesary. What we should be debating are the facts. For example, how can we prevent ourselfe from killing the earth, and so on.

as renewable energy becomes more massly produced (in the future), the cost of alternative renewable energy prices will become cheaper which is basic logic in economics as world oil levels are depleting and won't last forever, TJ's point to invest in alternative energy away from oil before the oil runs out otherwise that would leave us in an energy crisis. so the government is investing in renewable energy (green markets) but is somewhat in its infancy so is expensive, and not cost effective atm

You disagree with somebody popular on YouTube. You are, therefore, obviously wrong.

I wish I could make a reasoned, impassioned and yet patient argument for liberty, the way you do.
