I’d love to expect better, but the common person violently defends the status quo.

This site gives me hope as well. You may enjoy my new community. I’m trying out a new model.

If you think the New York Times is left wing, I can only assume you own the entire Ayn Rand library.

Even with you spelling it out, it sounds like absolute nonsense. If there was a leftist on Wall Street they’d be crucified on the horns of the golden bull.

If you want to know, there’s an objective difference. It’s the presence of a hierarchy. Centrists support a hierarchy that’s either voluntary or mildly coercive. Justifications for violent enforcement become more severe the farther you go to the right. Leftism is cooperative and anti-hierarchy.

Those hierarchies you described and attributed to leftism were authoritarian. They were supported and maintained by violence. They weren’t leftist, you were just raised to believe they are by your government, which itself has been approaching total fascism your entire life.

The political compass is skewed. The far right is always authoritarian and the far left is always anarchic. The middle is bargaining, the realm of confusion and many masters. I agree that right and left are mere terms of convenience. Politics are delusion. The real spectrum is gnosis (left) versus ignorance (right).

I’m working on a project that I hope will help, a non-hierarchical, volunteer society that would simply move away from people who start trying to run the show.

Bugging out is the last resort. The first tactic is opening up a line of communication using constructive language. You heard one sentence about a very complex movement and you screamed out in resistance. I thought you were an advocate of change, why do you fight for the familiar status quo without considering alternatives?

I do plant native flora. I feel bad for you. Your accusations of eco-fascism are obviously projections. You will never be happy unless YOU lead the change. The sad part is that you can lead change in a non-hierarchical structure like the Murmuration, but you will never make a meaningful difference under the system you’re defending with your hatred.
