So I actually do write some stuff myself, it's not all just posts of other people's writings, but i'm real selfish with my own writings, i don't like to share them with people, but i thought i would share this with ya all , just to prove there is something original going on in my mind after all, here ya go
The myth of the political right is the myth of the long past
and long lost golden age of the nation
of the religion or whatever, that everything was better back then, that if only
we could stick to the principles of the constitution then everything would be
better, even the maintenance of the status quo would be at the left limit of
the political right, if we could just keep things the same, not change
anything, republican obstructionism, than that would be the best possible state
of affairs,
the myth of the political left is the myth of the future utopia, the myth of
progressivism, that things were worse back than and that if only we change
things for the better of course, change itself is assumed to be good in itself
in this mindset, much less how are we going to change, that then we will have
the best possible state of affairs, or if not the best possible, at least
better than it was back then, this is the myth that I seem to subscribe to, all
progressives must subscribe to this myth, while all conservatives must, I think
subscribe tto that myth as well
more on these points later
