 Correct. It's no longer about left or right, it's about those who want to control others and those who want to be left alone.

incorrect. it's built on the idea there are more good people who don't want to control others but also lots of bad people who do. and somehow in a democracy, the smaller amount are winning?

the reality is we're all mostly good but sometimes bad. what differs is our perspectives because of life experience. we all care about others but want to limit others' ability to intentionally or accidentally "hurt" us. wealth just provides more power.

You want to limit others like me. I want people like you to leave me the fuck alone. I don't believe in your empathy. I don't trust people preaching compassion by using force.

 @c215902f @Tadgan Hrothgar @1831505a 

but you do believe in empathy. you don't think anybody should be able to steal or kill anybody else? why care about anybody but yourself? 
 @b42b2f3c @Tadgan Hrothgar @1831505a 
If I see a person being hurt by another I am willing to take action to prevent it. You on the other hand need someone else to do your dirty laundry. This is where we differ. You believe that most people mean well? Then let them live and let go of your fears. 
 @c215902f @Tadgan Hrothgar @1831505a 

so shouldn't you be out killing pedos etc or is that something the government should do and you'll just cry about forever that they aren't doing enough to stop? you don't have principles, you have memes and lines you heard others say and never thought through yourself or heard anybody actually challenge. 
 @b42b2f3c @Tadgan Hrothgar @1831505a Community historically would stone people that committed atrocities. I don't have principles?  All you have is emotions, mostly fears. You're a little dweeb.
