I would hope so too achilles, but i feel like its just fuel to a raging bushfire sometimes.

2020-11-26 23:58:02 UTC  

Put "far right" in quotes because it is so ambiguously defined

2020-11-26 23:58:15 UTC  

Yeah true

2020-11-26 23:58:56 UTC  

I tend to use left and right as collectivism vs individualism

2020-11-26 23:59:00 UTC  

Would you agree that there is a place for the left though?

2020-11-26 23:59:19 UTC  

Well, not agree, necessarily. Hold that view, then?

2020-11-26 23:59:23 UTC  

but there's more to, just in a general sense

2020-11-26 23:59:43 UTC  

As a counterweight to the very possible excesses of thre "right?"

2020-11-27 00:00:17 UTC  

Oh dissenting opinion is very important but the world should not be viewed as a playground of academic ideas

2020-11-27 00:00:32 UTC  

there's absolutely a use for the left, much of the innovation, entrepreneurship, and voice for the little guy is valuable, but it requires a constant counterbalance or it descends into tyranny, hedonism and suffering

2020-11-27 00:00:55 UTC  

a common trope is the left starts a company and the right runs it

2020-11-27 00:00:59 UTC  

Only to counteract a token amount of political positioning. Other than that most of their policies can rot in hell

2020-11-27 00:01:02 UTC  

I tend to think that the right is "better," broadly s[peaking, but like any human institution is prone to corruption, power grabbing, elitism etc

2020-11-27 00:01:25 UTC  

if it has something to fight it stays on its toes more, so to speak.

2020-11-27 00:01:30 UTC  

or should

2020-11-27 00:02:09 UTC  

things are very good in the world, which is why the left has to look for more and more absurd radical shit to fight for

2020-11-27 00:02:29 UTC  

intersting

2020-11-27 00:02:36 UTC  

very good how?

2020-11-27 00:02:41 UTC  

curious to know

2020-11-27 00:02:47 UTC  

We have hope in a higher power, compared to the ebbing flows of overly humanistic doctrine

2020-11-27 00:03:04 UTC  

economic progress and relief of suffering on a global scale, the reduction in wars worldwide

2020-11-27 00:03:12 UTC  

When I look at L vs R politically, I tend to focus on what they want to permit and allow in society. As of recent its become obvious the Left think they can "cater" safely towards absolutely everyone, whereas the right seem to prefer catering only towards those who they already are. The right seem far more sustainable long term due to the focus implied.

2020-11-27 00:03:20 UTC  

the end of famines, disease, illiteracy

2020-11-27 00:03:41 UTC  

Yeah i get that.

2020-11-27 00:03:53 UTC  

Those things will never come

2020-11-27 00:03:56 UTC  

I'm not liking the noises globalism is making, however.

2020-11-27 00:04:05 UTC  

the big problems of our ancestors are going extinct

2020-11-27 00:04:17 UTC  

so we are creating new problems to fight over

2020-11-27 00:04:27 UTC  

true, at least not completely. one should still attempt it tho

2020-11-27 00:04:35 UTC  

Try as you might, the road to hell is paved with good intentions

2020-11-27 00:04:48 UTC  

did you just quote yourself and agree with yourself

2020-11-27 00:04:52 UTC  

true, at least not completely. one should still attempt it tho

2020-11-27 00:04:56 UTC  

mistake

2020-11-27 00:04:59 UTC  

globalism = tyranny of the majority and oligarchy

2020-11-27 00:05:04 UTC  

oh I was like what

2020-11-27 00:05:14 UTC  

nationalism compartmentalizes it and is much better

I hate the left

2020-11-27 00:05:23 UTC  

Avoid reckless pursuit that hurts the problem rather than solving it

2020-11-27 00:05:54 UTC  

Yes. But one shouldn't shrink from doing right just because it seems useless or hopeless.

2020-11-27 00:06:10 UTC  

"He sees all that is done in sectret etc"

2020-11-27 00:06:11 UTC  

opportunity cost
