Self-determination

Whatever self-determination is, I'm quite irrationally passionate about it. Whatever even slightly manipulatory I encounter, I hate it. Such is the case with subsidies or A. Weale, which are both highly manipulatory.
Goethe says, who is unable to control himself, is eager to control his neighbours will according to his own proud standpoint:
"...denn jeder, der sein eigenes Selbst nicht zu regieren weiß, regiert gar zu gern des Nachbars Willen, eigenem stolzen Sinn gemäß."(Goethe)
On the opposite, I love whatever supports and enhances the self-determinationa and the free will and unfolding of others...
