You are such a dear person. You see good in everyone and rarely step into the abuse domain. That can be good and also be not so good, in the sense that it makes you vulnerable.
Your faith in humanity to do the right thing is awesome. I’m not sure that humanity rewards your optimism. That said you have succeeded where I have failed.
rehctub launched this thread with some home truths, painful as this might have been for some however, it has caused me to review my position in relation to many social issues.
I find myself being driven to oppose many of the ‘progressive’ perspectives on OLO and yet, I’m not actually, and never have been naturally “of the right”.
What I have recognized is that whilst I am naturally a centrist on many social issues, I have drifted off to the right as a consequence of opposing what I perceive to be the progressive left.
I would dearly like to be at home again as a centrist but feel locked into, and accused of being “hard right” because of my opposition to progressive ideology. You seem able to accommodate what I perceive to be left of centre perspectives, whilst maintaining a balance. I don’t always agree with either your sources or your perspectives however, I find myself drawn to the open, honest and direct expression of your views.
There can be no doubt that the ALP/Unions face a tortuous defense of their actions, likewise all those of a progressive disposition will face critical analysis of their perspectives.
So have you considered just how you will defend the perspectives you hold in the light of upcoming revelations from the RC? Will you face the same challenges as I have experienced, in defending your perspectives as public disclosures threaten your optimism? Will this drive you further to the left?
