...but conservatives are lazy, ignorant, stone willed ambasadors of the problems that our need for convience have set us up for.
People have suffered for the countless eons that humankind has existed. Greed, Sloth, and all the so-called 'sins' have been catalysts for endless pain and torment upon our species. The nature of our instincts, to overcome and survive, is the root of our neccesity of suffering.
But in the last few hundred years, we have been able to set up a system of people management (government) that has allowed for unprecedented pleasure; a system that has let us forget about the suffering of our fellow man, in exchange for conveniences that let us lead a simple and painless life.
The concept of the United States of America that our forefathers created for us, in their nearly infinite genius, has allowed for ones own work ethic and skills in trade and business to govern ones successes, and ones ability to further raise oneself up from the sea level of suffering which we naturally lie in.
The one thing that our founding fathers didn't anticipate was the dimishing earthly resources that continued consumption would result in.
While we toil in our daily lives, working to further our business and pleasure endeavors, we forget that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. Newton called it his third law. Chinese philosophers called it the Yin and the Yang.
In order to allow for our happy bliss of consumption, others have to suffer to sustain it. However, the beauty in our system allows us be so far removed from that suffering, that we can successfully ignore it--not just pretending that it doesn't exist, but being completely unaware of even the concept of it existing! We enjoy all these gifts (things) without any recognition of the toils and struggles it took to get to where we get to use it.
The conservative mindset enjoys these comforts, and often aknowledges the routes and toils that it took to get there. However, it often forgets the long term impact of these things.
The liberal mindset has a bit of a harder time enjoying these 'things,' as it is a bit more aware of the struggles the things caused to arrive.
We've shot ourself in the foot, as since our system was devised in order to allow for these 'things', comforts, gifts, conviences to be widespread among the people, it is now considered to be disloyal to not blindly enjoy them. To be wary of what lay in the pool. To turn down the fruit.
These conservative mindsets are hurting us as a people. Times are changing. Habits need to be broken. The golden age of the ignorant bliss is over. If we dont change our ways now, there will never be another.
