>>510971047both left wing and right wing ideologues are too fucking dense and permanently stuck in denial to admit that both communism and fascism were such unworkable dogshit systems that they lost to fucking liberalism (monarchism lost as well). they are right to criticize liberalism as soul crushing and sucking the mystery and romance out of existence but refuse to see the rest of the picture.
the deeper, realer issue at hand is everyone, left, right, center, all over the place, EVERYONE is so deeply pessimistic about the future that they cling to these old defunct failed ideologies (liberalism included, its just circling the drain after killing communism and fascism) because they dont even have the optimism required to imagine something new and better, something we desperately need because all of these ideologies are failing us. we just want these delusional romanticized solutions and reflexively ignore all of the evidence showing that they just catastrophically shit the bed as soon as they get out of the gate.
