So is there any specific thing about 'the order of things' that you hate, and feel the burning need to dismantle?  What would you replace the "order that exists" with?

Seems a bit like change for the sake of it otherwise.

Not at all. I've always thought that everything is just as it is. Not much point in changing it - changing it to what?

That would seem to contradict your previous post.

Please help me learn karnal.  I want to know what it is that makes lefties so superior to righties.

Contradict my post about arguing? I can't.

Anyway, I'm a hopeless arguer. I always end up agreeing.

So you'd agree that

A declaration of war against the order of things which exist, against the state of things which exist, in a word, against the structure of the world which presently exists”.

adequately sums up progressive goals? 


the question then is why?  What's the matter with the structure of the world which presently exists?  It's not perfect, but nor does it deserve to have war waged on it.

No, I'm saying I can't argue against it. I'm hopeless.

Actually, it reads a bit like a public service policy document. I've never understood them either.

Oh I see.

Well if you happen to run into any other progressives who can help me learn what is so horrible about the order of the world that it needs to have an indicsrimnate war waged on it, point them in my direction please.

"Mummy issues" would have sufficed.
"Daddy issues" to back it up.

Yes, he said something about anthrax breeding nuclear weapons.

But I like to get a variety of opinions and sources.

Egalitarianism and rationality, for starters.
