This shit always boils down to "this group is just like that group, because I don't like either of them"

There have been revolutions throughout history. How many second comings have there been?

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago

Yep, people do in fact:

  • Like some things about the world
  • Dislike other things about the world
  • Think you can improve the world
  • Think that not improving the world is less than ideal
  • Think people shouldn't do the things they dislike

Observing these trends is not exciting or new, it's basically called "having an opinion".

a ham and cheese sandwich is just like a 1989 Plymouth Sundance. if you change the ham to 4 cylinder FWD automatic and the cheese to a hatchback frame body and instead of buying it at a delicatessen, you buy it from a guy named Ron in the parking lot of the dead mall off the highway bypass.

"Any attempt to make actual progress makes you a lib"

if we're evangelicals, then Liberals are what, Catholics? Calvinists? ~~God~~ the free market works in mysterious ways to lead us all toward ~~salvation~~ rational efficiency where everyone mutually benefits and gets exactly what they deserve. who/what is good or bad can only be determined in retrospect based on who/what was rewarded, leading to a logical conclusion that borders on predestination. The only way to ensure that you are one of the predestined to receive salvation is to behave as though you are already predestined, so you must follow certain norms and rituals that don't actually affect anything, but are used as ex-post-facto justification based on correlated results

Now that they mention it, the USSR was a shining city upon a hill. The same is the case with China.

For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with the masses in this work we have undertaken, and so cause them to withdraw their present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.

famous for refusing to take political action to further their goals on this earth

This sort of applies to the fundamentalists in like the 1930s after they had suffered a bunch of losses trying to engage in the 1920s (particularly public ridicule from the Scopes monkey trial media spectacle)
