kinda disappointed that if you look up "leftism" on youtube, prageru comes up multiple times before any popular left-wing channels
@mewmew try looking for 'regressive' while you're at it 
But yeah... I had the exactly same problem while lookimg up Libertarians. Sometimes, you just don't know the correct word to use when looking these things up.
@LukeAlmighty *shrug* yeah, conservatives are the real regressives and should be called as such
@mewmew yeah, since conservatives are pushing for segregation soo much these days...
I guess it will be better to end the political talk here, since it's obvious we do belong to a different corners of the triangle.

The question we should ask: is "progress" good?
It's an argument from novelty, really.
"If it's newer, it's better."
The conservative argument: trust that which is tested by time.

@amerika @LukeAlmighty of course, that's why you're regressives. you're one step away from people who think the earth is flat.
@mewmew @LukeAlmighty
Except that we have known for thousands of years that Earth is not flat.
We like that which works in reality.
You like that which works in a social setting.
But, that fails over time, because that social setting is WITHIN reality.

@LukeAlmighty @amerika I live in the USA. I'm not surprised.

Those who favor long-standing functional entities are going to be more likely to be religious.
I'm not sure it's the other way around. I don't have numbers, but around here, all the churches are Leftist.

> If you live in religious-majority country, why do you even mention it?
Because religious people are more likely to be conservative and conservative people are more likely to be religious - this is a very strong correlation.
