> by all means go and compete as much as you want

Just for clarification, competing isn't preferred because it's easier... IDK if it is or not. Competing, however, does not conflict with my ethics.

IOW, if the government deputized me to carry a gun and go around demanding people buy things from me or do as I instructed, I would decline.
