What it all boils down to: Social arguments In Pulp Form

Posted by: BamBam In: Blast| a post by BamBam| hyperbole reality

West Vs. East, Religious Vs. Secular, Conservative Vs. Liberal and many of the other argument where two people, parties of groups stand at polar opposites of each other. In those discussions all the arguments really boil down to a very simple but crucial point. One party will be fearful of change and resistant of it, while the other party sees that without change it will cease to exist and although it’s skeptical of change it sees the benefit of it.

So why does one party has the temperament to fear change ? well simply since it believes that humans are just bound to make the worst choice about anything and if given the chance even though change might seem good at the end the unanticipated consequences of it will be bad and will cause the situation to worsen.

So when it comes to taking sides in an argument, do you trust your fellow human ? or are you SCARED of him ?

ENJOY !

I think the worst word you wrote in this post is “or”
Why does it have to be either pole? Why can’t it be BOTH or a Mix of the two?
“Or” it the most tyrannical word in existence

Now, I don’t think it’s as simplistic as you claimed. It doesn’t really boil down to “fear” of change, or embracing change.

I wish it was that simple ..

maybe thats true, but personally i don’t think centrists have a market or can illicit change of any sort for two reasons.
A) they are mistrusted by both polar opposites and seem as betrayers of the true cause and hence not liked (surely not as despised as the nemisis) and pushed to the rim
B) they themselves are complacent and aren’t really bothered by their situation enough to put anything meaningful on the line, they can just benefit from the change that others create and either way they end up being the winners
Hence the OR … it’s never a moderate that brings on change. its not universilly true (nothing is) but I tried that break down on a lot of issues recently … and it seemed to work pretty well ….
