This I think is the difference though I don't think even for a second that we are doomed haha I don't have that feeling and I know many people who don't. There are post modernist types on the left and right who think that. I think it's exciting that all the ground work for some of the most incredible human rights changes and movements is in place. Who knows what the next 10 years will unfold! People as a whole naturally see the value in protecting forests and waters. Just not everyone, and those who disrespect reality are becoming fewer and fewer and all the while more publicly visible because of the internet. I agree with the sustainability thing, I have been arguing that a Universal basic income is a bad idea because those who are political downtrodden financially barren need a Universal Basic Homestead to really be free. But our current governments won't have that haha. Basic income is dependence, basic homestead is independence. And curbs the stresses of feeling like you can't provide for your basic needs.

I think we need to realize the philosophic, rational principles of the ethics that founded the west which basically means if you are a Liberal you are a Conservative and if you are a Conservative you are also a Liberal. But nowadays we are disillusioned and ping-ponged back and forth between two versions of the same Socialism/Communism/Collectivist-group-think.
Revitalize the Centrist! Resurrect the Non-Aggression Principle!

Dang we should rewrite these comment posts as independent articles haha
