      I’d prefer people making decisions for themselves as much as possible.

            there is a “we” whether you or me like it or not.

                it depends on the issue at hand. if we are talking about climate change, its everyone.

                decaying infrastructure on a given country? its inhabitants.

                  Well it’s not everyone, both those things effect people differently. Even if I live in a country with decaying infrastructure- if I barely go outside it doesn’t effect me that much. Or, I may value infrastructure or the climate differently than you.

                    it does. if you barely get out of the house you still need that infrastructure to get food, energy and sewer service delivered to you, regardless of how important you judge it to be. society is a big web of interconnected people and services.
