it took the right a long time to become paranoid tyrants

the left, it took a span of a couple of years

yea but i think there is a difference tho

I think the right has some built-in slowdown mechanisms, though

The whole limited vs. unlimited vision thing, for one

i honestly never thought the left would go that far, until i learned of communism ofcourse

i think the right has more of a self policing

they force each other to be principled & consistent

the left not so much

Well, yes and no--talk to anyone committed to Russel Kirk's ideas about modern conservatism and you'll see plenty of critique

not to mention they have a drive to have things done

but they don't think all that much outside of that

in their view... why should they? what they do works for them

thats why u get open minded ppl to start businesses

Well, until it ultimately doesn't

and conservatives to run them

the left is excelent at finding new ground, but not very good at maintaining it

the right is excelent at maintaining what exists, but not very good at seeing something new

both have their place in society

in non extremist ammounts

I think that's broad-strokes true, but then I alwasy wonder what's up with the exceptions or people who don't land on either side very well

Peter Thiel is an example

they have a unique perspective yes

a fascinating one

but not one i subscribe to

you can't be wrong but you also don't move

"only winning move is not to play"-ism

if you don't play you don't lose but you also don't live

Conservatives haven't conserved very much at all in the culture war with the left.

one one hand... on another...

what's preferable?

they kinda stepped away from the moral stuff

Conservatives have tried to fight back, I'm with them

only to now have the left running rampant with moral stuff into the lunatic spheres

but i can see something that honestly frustrates me

people along the lines of Ben Shapiro

or Lauren Southern

or Alex Johnes (perhaps not him)

there's a clear intent in there

it's not to help

it's to destroy
