So, you make sweeping judgements about the left... Do the right all feel safe on their own, you think? If you do, you'd be bypassing a foundational principle of conservatism: that progress for its own sake destabilises society - i.e. makes society less safe. yeah, i think self reliance is very important to your mental health .physical health and financial health i think self reliant people want less government and thats surely a right wing opinion Conservatism does not have a mortgage on self-reliance and small government. Jewish Kibbutzes and communes, for example, are not havens of conservatism. true , they are small socialist collections which work as long as they are kin. but i bet in a kibbutz, you dont get to go on centrelink benefits for chronic fatigue syndrome and get about in your pyjamas i bet you are made to contribute or you are out by the way, you should google mental health of the amish . they are doing quite well without their i phones, maccas and armies of fedarally funded mental health hand holders and big pharma ssri's Kibbutzim members are not all kin but are generally socialists, by definition. You don't have to look far to find sons and daughters of conservatives who have 'dropped out', but who haven't become socialists. They're just unmotivated, lazy, or have drug dependencies, psychiatric issues and/or personality disorders. abso smacking lutley its a tragedy to be born to rich parents, more so if they try to give you a dollar you didnt earn the BEST formula in life is to have parents who are hard working , but modest in income, then to start off slow and build your income slowly, year by year and end up with a couple of million maximum to retire on. i have one daughter who has been way too successful whilst young. i have to counsel her about this being , very much a mixed blessing.because you always want to be moving up and if you start at the top, its all downhill Very wise.
