RE: Building Institutional Opposition and Activist Super Organisms - Pursuance Project Preview
I agree with your semi agreement with me... but you shouldn't use a blanket statement "I am opposed to ANY unity with the left". It is incredibly broad and subconciously builds a shield where you MIGHT not realize that your defensives are doing you a disfavor by objecting to someone without listening... I was extremely conservative in college, I went to Columbia College Chicago, during 9/11. Columbia is EXTREMELY liberal. I was on a debate squad and went from getting booed to finding common ground and winning debates and changing peoples minds. If you are willing to be more open, and can find common ground most people let their guard down and we can actually discuss topics without being so emotionally attached to our own views.... it is best to be open to evolving than just blatantly being opposed because of stereotypes.... not all on the left are pervs and not all on the right are bible thumpers Most people just care about life. liberty and happiness... We will never be able to convince everyone to agree on every topic.... if we keep being divided on simple issues we will never resolve the super issues. Unity on the main points which we all agree upon can easily change our reality. Especially with robots coming online and taking over all the jobs over the next two decades.. Mcdonalds is testing robots, Tesla and Google are building self driving cars... even my wife who is a medical technologist at a pathology lab is downsizing because a robotic machine does the job of ten people...
Sure my examples except the Med-Technologist just require high school diplomas... so we can say that the people are at fault for not striving for a better education... but remember the jobs replaced impact a lot of things down the line... we will all be losing jobs in the future or feeling the impact.... if we dont find unity now we will def wish we did when riots happen because people or starving... or the country is bankrupted because of social welfare having to take care of so many....
Unity is a must on the main issues then we can focus on the side topics like drugs, abortions and whatever else they use to divide us....
Much love and respect.
I'll disagree with this, It is an assumption about other people's motivations that is not borne out in reality. The War on Drugs is supported by about half the country...liberty is not forefront in their minds.
check out projection bias...a lot of folks that understand the necessity of liberty assume that everyone is like that.
The Left....The French Revolution, Vietnam and Nicaragua are solid examples in which the Left unifies with opposition to a government, only to execute and jail all the non-Leftists after the government falls.
Like I said, I'm willing to leave Leftists alone as long as they leave me alone...but I'm not willing to turn my back on them
