if we found bacteria or an ameba on mars no one would question wether or not it’s life. when moms and dads find out they’re about to become parents they never refer to their unborn baby as a clump of cells. I don’t want to start an argument about if abortion should or should not be legal. my question is why is it so hard to admit that once the sperm & the egg meet that equals a life. civil replies please this is something I am genuinely curious about…
I will never choose a side. Call me a spineless centrist all you want. Choosing either one of these political gangs just shows you have become part of the system that's built to divide us.
It's likely that cultural and political tribalism is a byproduct of first-past-the-post voting itself and it this incredibly insidious. It doesn't take a conspiracy theory to see that it makes the world a black-and-white place for some. Easy to peddle news stories and narratives – these guys are out to take your guns / these business people are here to rob you blind, etc. Consciously or not, politicians and big businesses thrive on it and basically have entirely business models and campaigns built around it. You want to see a tectonic shift in all aspects of business, politics, and even culture (for the better)? Get a better voting system installed at any or all levels. Something like ranked choice, even though it's not perfect, is far less bad than what we have now. It allows you as a voter, or by my theory, just an individual living your life, to take a stand for somebody or something without automatically being against 'the other team'.
I've believed for awhile that we keep asking the same questions because the powers the be don't want the answers. Mainly because the answers aren't popular. Unpopular answers threaten their control of the masses.
