When I see discussions devolve into arguments over semantics, that Thomas Sowell quote always pops up in my mind:
“There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.”
Utopia is not for this world. There will always be problems, and believe it or not, things could be a lot worse than they are now.
That said, it goes to show that technology and education do not alleviate the same old human desire for tribal conflict and dominance (whether it's class, race or both) Our technology evolves quickly but our human brains do not.
Its a messed up clown world. The same dumb assholes who laughed at my long hair and jeans with holes in the knees (I was poor) in grade 7-9 were sporting long hair and jeans with holes in the knees a few years later when that was considered "cool". Just apply that "do anything to fit in" mentality with political ideas and you have most of society.
Well said.
I'm sick of having to vote for the 'less shitty' party. PPC has my vote now.

I go by the Matt Stone adage, "I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals".
One is packaged in blue, the other in red. Next to no difference.
Good one. They believe in what they think is protectionism. And this is how it looks like:

We have our own version of protectionism, speak supply management for our dear farmers. How do you think about that?
So a centrist?
The continued framing of there being two sides, or different teams at all, for anyone to cheer on or support is absolutely deluded.
Sorry.
There has only ever been one party. There are no choices only illusion of choice.
It's a big club and you're not in it. Now pay your taxes mister independent.
