I would tend to agree with them since nearly all of most people’s worldviews, experience and information is carefully-manufactured chicanery via mass-/social-media so they take up certain preferences and attitudes. Libertarianism is a perfect example of a faux political centroid that cherry-picked from utopian views and sentiments against communism, but leads inexorably to unworkable, corrupt, extractive, inverted totalitarianism like the US has at present (ie public-private partnerships, destroyed govt departments, hundreds of vacant diplomat posts).
I would agree with sociopaths /narcissists skew towards seats of power because such people are more willing to take big risks, feel entitled to more and DGAF other than themselves. Also, the amount of wealth and prestigous title/s someone has tends to change them to behave similarly.
The main ways to bring balance back are to:
- forcibly remove the cancer of and vigilantly guard against corrupt political-wealth complex from all areas of government
- sensible wealth-redistribution; having millions of people whom are homeless living on the sides of highway on-ramps or can never retire is obscene
- more co-op businesses, employeee ownership and workers on the board of directors
- stronger unions that work
- US: single-payer
- more minimum vacation time
- even in times of hyper-mobility, community rebuilding, across all demographics, in a standard format people know about: something to replace church/atheist “church”... it’s unhealthy to have an anonymous, closed society of mostly lonely people with only fb friends and few/no one to talk to regularly.
- jacoblambda 8y agoYou are attempting to pull politics into a largely unrelated discussion and based on the downvotes, most people here would agree with me that you should probably stop. Because of this I am not going to respond to your entire point however I would urge you to do some research on the origins of libertarianism, communism, and socialism. It may surprise you that they all tend to be mischaracterised and traditionally set out to resolve the same issues in similar ways.
