Partly ego but I believe it's mostly conditioning.
People are conditioned to place themselves and their opinions and their wants above everything and everyone else.
We're a society of manufactured narcissists and cultivated sociopaths.
That might be just what the doctor ordered if your doctor's name is capitalism but it's a horrorshow for humanity.
I talked about you with my republican man. And he gets you.
So do I.
MY fears revolve around the government having too much power. And the human tendency to become power hungry.
If it wasn't for that Gar we would be on the same team all the way.
No matter what happens though I know YOU genuinely want GOOD things for all of us. So do I. I think the fact we both know that about eachother makes all the difference.
And I'll take your side in a damn heartbeat. You are a good person and a good friend. ♡
I wish more people were like this. We recognize that we both want GOOD outcomes for humanity. Like if we got the government you felt was best I hope it succeeds! Because I don't care about being RIGHT. I just want things to be good.
I wouldn't want it to fail so I could be like "hur Der you were wrong! I'm right! Der der!" you know? Like I would want it to work. Show me I was wrong! I'd concede! I'd celebrate with you!
. I'm just scared of the amount of power our government would have if we did things like...universal Healthcare. It's not people have Healthcare that upsets me. It's the fucking government being in control of it that scares me.
