I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the alternatives that have been tried have historically been either failures or catastrophes.
- andrepd 4y agoSo much to be said about that trope... Are there seriously people who still believe in TINA? What a bleak way to see the world.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoI'm curious about what alternative you have in mind if you think that living in an open and free society is bleak.
- andrepd 4y agoBut I don't think that the current society is open and free. It is open-er and freer than what it replaced. It is also open-er and freer than some proposed alternatives. It is not the best, most open, and most free society that could ever be conceived. I don't like political arguments on hn but if you're truly interested I can try to summarise them when I get home later.
