There really isn't a middle-ground though.

What does everyone want? Happiness, correct? Why aren't people happy? You seem to think it's money but it's not money. Let me explain:

For someone to be happy they need the following things:

• Feeling of inclusiveness within a community of other people who share similar values and acknowledge one's skills and accomplishments

• The feeling of growth and self-improvement.

• The feeling of being being loved and cared for by another along with the feeling of loving and caring for another.

• The feeling of having freedom to pursue the things that will make one happy without being obstructed.

• The feeling of being fairly treated in response to one's actions; aka justice.

If you have these things, you will have happiness. Notice no where does it say having a house, or food or whatever. If you have those things above you such as liberty and justice then no one is stopping you from acquiring food, shelter, etc... You have your own power to procure those things and you are not obstructed from procuring them.

The problem with our society is that people are not focusing on the right things to find happiness and the things they are focused on actually lead people down paths that make happiness harder for people to find.

When you for example use the threat of violence of the government to tax someone against their will, you are treating them unjustly while also restricting their freedom. Now they may not be able to put food on their table or find shelter because they are not being treated fairly. A person needs to put in more work to get less from the work they put in.

When you hire based on sex, race, sexual orientation, etc... instead of on competence you are being unjust. This makes it much harder for an individual to feel a sense of acknowledgement for one's skills/accomplishments because they are being ignored in favour of acknowledging another person's sex, race, sexual orientation, etc... It is also unjust so you will feel your contribution is not being properly rewarded.

When we as a society push movements like fat acceptance and any acceptance of clearly negative qualities we are making it much harder for a person to grow and improve because now the metrics by which the culture measures "improvement" are not wired properly. Someone should want to eat health, go to the gym and then gain positive acknowledgment for that but when modeling agencies are now hiring fat ugly people instead, it doesn't reward the right behavior which creates a negative emotion in people who should be feeling happy about their hard work and accomplishments but they aren't because society is unjustly treating them for it by giving the acknowledgement and rewards to people who are making obviously worse decisions.

When you refuse to teach children anything to do with gender roles or worse you teach men to be like women and women to be like men (what is going on right now), eventually what happens is you have a bunch of feminized men and maculinized women; however, men are predominately attracted to feminine women and women are predominately attracted to masculine men so you make it more difficult for both men and women to truly find what it is they are looking for in a partner to fall in love with.

When you give subsidies to poorly run companies in the name of some sort of movement that doesn't promote profit, you are giving incentive to the wrong thing. Honest entrepreneurs feel now at a disadvantage because their competition is being unfairly propped up by funds the government stole. This again doesn't promote the right emotions to be happy. Entrepreneurs aren't being rewarded for growth and there is no justice.

When you create endless amounts of regulation which cements oligopolies in place by stifling competition you are again creating an unjust playing field for commerce which reduces justice in your society.

When you give people money for not contributing to society off the labour of those who do contribute to society against the will of those who contribute you are creating an unjust situation.

By promoting all this injustice in society and putting everyone against one another. Boomer against zoomers. Parents against children. Men against women. Rich against poor. White against black etc... All you're doing is creating division instead of unity and you make it much harder for anyone to find the feeling of community among like-minded individuals that all people seek.

You must promote a society that is just, moral and that works together to promote a unified sense of culture and values but at the same time respects individual freedom. That is not what we have as a society and there is no compromise here. Until the left understands what justice is by understanding that their push for equality is unjust there isn't much to discuss. The left must accept that men and women are different and have different roles to play in society, though either can shift between roles, most men and most women predominately are aligned to one such role and for the sake of love and family children must be taught how to best fulfill this role. Finally, we must promote as a society people who show strength in their contribution to the betterment of themselves, of others and of their society. Those that wish to destroy instead of build, those that wish to take instead of give and those that wish to hate instead of love deserve no recognition from society and they should not be rewarded. The left in their social justice crusade feigns weakness in order to elicit a sympathetic response but they do not have the moral high ground for they use they victim complex to seize power in order to benefit themselves in the name of benefiting others and this kind of immoral behavior tears at the soul no matter how good they think they are, deep down, they know they are ugly and that is why they will never be satisfied because the path they've chosen to act in and reinforce never leads to happiness. This is why there is no compromise.
