Guess what else is also in the preamble? “To secure the blessings of liberty for OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY”

True, that is also in the preamble. Weird if you think these things are contradictory.

I don’t think it’s necessarily contradictory, I would love to use the state to help my own people in need
