@acriticalthinker: Maybe the fundamental difference between conservatism and progressive idealism is how they view human nature. Can we build a better society by changing the systems around us, or do we have to start by acknowledging the realities of competition, scarcity, self-interest, and survival? Idealism is appealing, but a functioning society has to work in the real world-not just in theory, #HumanNature #Politicalldeology #CriticalThinking #Conservatism #Progressivism

The premise he is making is that humans don’t have individual rights. We’re all just a number working for the government to make life better. This is some scary crap

and the elephant in the room question never gets asked. if human nature is good and equal, how did the system that exploits everyone get there in the first place?

ChatGPT gave you the output to confirm the bias in your input, once again. This is just right wing comfort food in the wake of a waning fascist cult’s shocking loss.

Charity only works when it is given freely, The dictates of a mandatory system remove the heart and spirit of the act.

I have had conversations like this with my husband. He listens to my rambling more than anything lol BUT I have come to this same conclusion. It makes no sense to embrace an ideology that denies human nature.

Well we’ve been trying the current system for long enough that we can say it doesn’t make things better. Might as well try the social safety nets and fixing the systems,

You make some rather obvious good points. But the question remains: what kind of world do we all want to live in?

humans are capable of great selfless acts. but they are just acts. I dont mean fake I mean moments in time. if we were all inherently good, if we saw a car broken down on the side of the road, everyone would help. but people are selfish to there own needs and drive by and assume they will be ok or just dont care. it takes practice to become selfless. that's where appreciation comes in. People just want acknowledgement for their actions of kindness. and that may seem harmless but when people feel they deserve because of an action it creates restless behavior

Idealistic thinking is nice. But I believe a lot of it is unrealistic. There are ways of controlling anger and social disorder in the world. living on the planet longer than I care to mention. I see people getting stuck in traffic everyday, and acting like complete animals in the 21st century... It's in our nature to have survival skills and be animalistic.
