        I don’t think you know what that term means. also, my meaning of left connects me with historical movements while yours infinitely atomizes. which meaning is more useful?

          I don’t think you know what that term means.

          Or is that just want you want me to think!?!

          also, my meaning of left connects me with historical movements while yours infinitely atomizes. which meaning is more useful?

          I think trying to grade political ideology on a left/right axis doesn’t really make a ton of sense, and really only servers to muddy the waters, and create a sense of consensus that isn’t really there.

          What’s the significance of feeling connected to historical movements?

            I get to analyze possible actions based on the works and results others have produced. it makes it more likely that I’ll succeed. to atomize oneself away from history is to destroy the possibility of progress.
