As Second Thought asks 'Is the State Your Enemy?' I covered much of his erroneous argument in the first part as Second Thought doesn't understand the state, his assumption that the role of the government is somehow to be the provider, but is deluded to believe that the state will be subservient under any form of collectivism.

In this second part I address more on the argument for why the state will not serve you and the differences between promises politicians make to that of what economic reality will allow.

Second Thought likes to claim to be 'altruistic' and as always, no different to the Left claiming to be champions of the poor, everything moral.

I also address on the argument on the Scandinavian economies which time and time again are misrepresented by the political Left, especially when it comes to healthcare and the happiness index. One must remember that what he's calling out for here is a far cry from his other videos shouting to overthrow the private sector and usher in full-blown socialism. It shows the logical fallacy of the Left, the inconsistencies and contradictions, it is why they will never have a credible argument because economics and history is not on their side.

The history of governments have shown to abuse the rights of the people. Just about the only thing I agree with Second Thought upon is the unjust wars through wasting money on war intervention overseas when money could be put to better use. Second Thought seems to believe morality and altruism is theft and coercion, forcing society into a collective group to pay for others and literally spying on how and what other people spend their money on. This is the biggest reason socialism is so deeply flawed, not only is it a disastrous failure, it really does sum up the Orwellian nightmare. Any normal decent person will value their privacy, therefore, their liberty.
