CM,

This is an opinion forum, maybe you should try expressing your own opinions, instead of quoting the likes of Arsethrottle and Confusion along with a host of others, using what they say to put your argument across ad nauseam, don't you have anything interesting to say yourself. No ones interested to read your "cut and paste" jobs. Haven't you noticed no one ever replies.

Dear Canem Malum,

The differentiation between "Left" and "Right", today anyway, is essentially about economic management.

I do not have an economic theory because I never cared about it too much, so I bow out and leave that aspect of the discussion to those interested: I am only concerned about freedom, that which you call "negative", I know no other - almost...¹

More precisely, my concern is to avoid violence as much as I can, including by being part of a social body (i.e. a state) that violently takes away the freedom of others without their consent.

We can wish for many other things besides freedom, so many "nice to have"s, nothing wrong about them and while some of them can indirectly also help one to protect their [negative] freedom, calling these wishes [positive] "freedom" is a misuse of that word. It is misleading.

¹ I said "almost" because there is also the absolute final liberation from all limitations of Nature, not just from the impositions of other humans. Buddhism calls it "Enlightenment", Christianity calls it "Union with God" and Hinduism calls it "Moksha". Either way, this is when the spirit is no longer encumbered by the delusional identification with nature or any elements therein (such as a human body). But unlike "positive freedom", this Freedom is of the spirit and does not necessarily provide the liberated/enlightened human with any extra physical/social resources.

Jimmy Dore says both the left and the right are the same.
Both sides blame each other for what goes wrong and nothing ever changes.

Armchair Critic said- "Jimmy Dore says both the left and the right are the same."

Answer- Yes I agree with them somewhat- although there are Traditionalists within the so called Right most are "right liberals" or "free traders". Patrick Deneen says the same too.

Thanks for your perspective Yuyutsu.

Dear Canem Malum,

«Most people seem to only get to halfway of JSM's Liberty because he raises the issue that "everything affects everyone" and therefore negative freedom doesn't work»

Yes, this is exactly where reduction in population is required, as we discussed on the other thread.
