- behringer 2y agoA leftist idealism quite out of touch with our current reality.
- dbish 2y agoSorry what? What’s leftist about it?
- behringer 2y ago> We can improve, create, and make things better Everything the left does in the US is in pursuit of those 3 things. The right has and will now continue to do everything in their power to destroy all 3 those things in the name of money. And not money for you or me. Of course, the republican populous doesn't believe that, but it doesn't make it any less true. The reality is much, much worse than you, or even most people realize.
- m3t4man 2y agoMaybe morality isn't discussed enough. People can proclaim that morality is subjective and hence less worthy of consideration or overall less important as a result of not being a constant in all people; However all of us have things we consider to be good and bad. If people are interested in propagation of those 3 decided upon virtues, then imho it'd be a good idea to try and explain to others why these are important to aspire for. At the moment, people share their values to each other with some form of acrimony, and expects the other to submit/change, or just hurt. It perpetuates this vicious cycle of no one being able to productively talk to each other if they disagree. I think there's mismatch on a fundamental level. A lot of spite and lack of desire to understand (some more than others).
- dbish 2y agoDoesn’t really seem like that in most cases. As a moderate and independent I’d say the left seems to want to control a lot, create very little. The right has an anti-science problem so not a ton better
- palata 2y ago> We can improve, create, and make things better and that doesn’t happen if humanity dies out. Well the very best thing (and by a long shot) for the vast majority of species is for humanity to die out. The only species who should care about humans is... the human species. Unfortunately for humans, it doesn't.
- dbish 2y agoWell as a human the human species is what matters. Pretty simple
- palata 2y agoShould be simple. But the fact is that the human species is destroying the human species (along with many others), and the human species depends on the biodiversity (pretty sure you've eaten something today, and it did not magically appear in your plate).
