@admitsWrongIfProven Well I'm one of those all things in moderation people. I find myself liberal. I agree that there's climate change, and that people should have the rights to believe whatever they like. I also understand the comfort of community, to feel supported or be part of something greater than one's self. I think there's nothing wrong with being conservative or liberal. But both sides seem to over step their boundaries both politically, and socially these days when it comes to their views. On the liberal side: enforcing people to accept the plethora of genders and identities should be a preference and not a requisite. Health care is too expensive but mandating people pay for it with penalty if not is an extreme. On the conservative side, taking away people's right to decide on abortions, would be a good example there. Both sides are not moving towards a more free society, yet a more controlled society in their preference. There seems to be no community for moderates. While Qoto is actually one of the most moderate I've seen, it's still slightly left in general. I've been wandering from country to country the past 8 years and I'm fascinated by when I subtract cultural attributes from different places, what is the human nature that remains. Also meeting people online from different places and subtracting their online persona from their real persona to see what they project about themselves to the net. Getting an idea of who they wish they were. Some people are pretty identical but most are quite different. I'd given up on humanity some time ago, so now I'm examining in great detail what exactly I'm giving up, and what the chain of causality is that led to today's world. Upon traveling the world and the internet I've definitely found some gems. I treasure them more than gems.
