You have the left and right confused there.

The right has abandoned any position of moral authority. Morality, to be absolutely clear, are the historically, and culturally, accepted rules for social behavior.

You want to be part of the group? You gots to be moral.

The right is only concerned with power, and that’s it. Theyve given up on publishing positions on current issues. They have no solutions. They don’t want to innovate, they want to change everything to a subscription service and extract as much wealth out as possible, all while legislating away any threatening start ups. They punch down, my guy. They punch down.

They believe in restricting freedom, restricting our rights to vote, our women’s bodily autonomy, policies that put our collective social costs onto the shoulders of the lower and middle classes. They don’t have a single policy that has broad public support, and they know it. Instead of adapting and using their 5th wing of government to bring their “base” up to speed with the times, theyve chosen subversion and court hostile foreign actors to attack their opposition. That’s also known as sedition, btw.

They’re out of touch corporate cocksuckers. Ted Cruz, pick any single one of them - not one has a single principle, spends all day fallatiating anyone with money. Metaphorically or not, a whores a whore, end of story.

Now I got no beef with whores, make yr money y’all. But I take umbrage with a whore trying to pass off as a slut. You ain’t no non-profit. Motherfuckers need to come to Jesus, act right and be honest about shit. Jesus got down with the whores. Throwing his arm around Mary like, “yo, wanna break some bread, baby?” (Cuz she looked skinny, simmerdown folks).

Even a whore can be moral. If that is too mindbending for you to wrap your head around, or if you scoffed reading that, your worldview is myopic, and frankly, I would consider you sus and half expecting you to filter information to fit your world view, turn a blind eye to conflicting info, and by what’s become a trope nowadays, more likely to double down than reevaluate the reality of your imaginary friend (or worldview). Not changing your mind based on new information - which is rooted in rationality/cause and effect, doesn’t make you look principled, smart or confident. It makes you look like a scared toddler throwing a tantrum. It’s immoral, it’s shameful. And the rights fucking fantasy of realizing the Handmaid’s Tale is, objectively, relinquishing our role as a global leader and a national security threat.

You cut funding to all education -> people get dumber -> we fall behind in tech -> your grandkids are gonna be learning Mandarin.

That’s a guarantee. It takes 2° of foresight to work that out.

Now, if by left you mean the Democratic party, so, NOT the left at all. Dems are center-right. And Dems have the same problem with messaging that Republicans do. Neoliberalism (which both Dems and Reps are) don’t have solutions to our problems. Neoliberalism doesn’t invest in itself. It extracts money from the system and thinks the free market will fix our roads, keep our police from being infiltrated by the klan, and add all the trains we’re gonna need to drop our carbon footprint. None of which neoliberalism has an answer for. Capitalism will not change anything. It does not innovate. It exploits and extracts.

It tells us we can have a red delicious apple or an off-season navel orange and calls that freedom. Then it calls your kid a commie for eating a mandarin and calls you a queer for eating an applepear.

That might be the best analogy I’ve ever given on neoliberalism.
