13044194, I've always consider the divide between the left and the right to be Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Thu Jul-14-16 03:10 PM
optimistic or pessimistic regarding human nature. I think the right thinks it's a zero sum game and everyone elses gain is there lost. That's why they want to close borders, don't like outsiders and cling to the past.
I think the left wings problem is that it is overly optimistic about human nature and think they create a utopian and underestimates man's capacity for corruption and self-interest. In terms of racism the problem with the left is that it doesn't acknowledge it's own racism.
