>what's your philosophy
empiricist because we're limited to our sensible reality
egoist because man lives for himself fundamentally
rousseauist because there is an idea of a nation by which man lives through, and because a majority in said-nation can form a collective interest and will
socialist because capitalism in its current form is irrational on a collectice level
essentially, randian objectivism with the realisation that socialism isn't "irrational" to an egoist individual, which translates politically into the chinese model but with more democracy.

the whole point of the road problem is to illustrate that certain goods are better handled by the government as a proxy for collective will than private companies.

>because the state sustains the service via taxing so it has no incentives to be profitable at all
That's precisely what lolberts don't understand. The state isn't an external entity who comes to collect taxes and who sometimes creates stuff to legitimize itself. The state is the expression of people organized in a manner to make it efficient and potent.
The state has an incentive to be profitable because there is an incentive for the people to recieve good services in exchange of their taxes. There is an incentive for the people to lower the cost, improve the quality etc because it benefits them. The only reason why this isn't evidently the case is because our political system is completely corrupt down to the core and because people have no concept or feeling of belonging to the nation.

what's even left if you remove the christcuck stuff ? Luke smith's gimmick of living in the woods disconnected from politics is because there is a natural preordained way that people can follow which is the reason for him to do so and turn away from politics.
if you remove the christian part then life has no intrinsic meaning, then there is no grounded ethic, then there is no way of life you can follow in semi-isolation
