Put "far right" in quotes because it is so ambiguously defined
Yeah true
I tend to use left and right as collectivism vs individualism
Would you agree that there is a place for the left though?
Well, not agree, necessarily. Hold that view, then?
but there's more to, just in a general sense
As a counterweight to the very possible excesses of thre "right?"
Oh dissenting opinion is very important but the world should not be viewed as a playground of academic ideas
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
a common trope is the left starts a company and the right runs it
Only to counteract a token amount of political positioning. Other than that most of their policies can rot in hell
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
if it has something to fight it stays on its toes more, so to speak.
or should
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
intersting
very good how?
curious to know
We have hope in a higher power, compared to the ebbing flows of overly humanistic doctrine
economic progress and relief of suffering on a global scale, the reduction in wars worldwide
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.
the end of famines, disease, illiteracy
Yeah i get that.
Those things will never come
I'm not liking the noises globalism is making, however.
the big problems of our ancestors are going extinct
so we are creating new problems to fight over
true, at least not completely. one should still attempt it tho
Try as you might, the road to hell is paved with good intentions
did you just quote yourself and agree with yourself
true, at least not completely. one should still attempt it tho
mistake
globalism = tyranny of the majority and oligarchy
oh I was like what
nationalism compartmentalizes it and is much better
I hate the left
Avoid reckless pursuit that hurts the problem rather than solving it
Yes. But one shouldn't shrink from doing right just because it seems useless or hopeless.
"He sees all that is done in sectret etc"
opportunity cost
Did you know the Soviet Union fall on Christmas day god got a sense of humour
