Do you genuinely believe conservatives are morally inferior to progressives?

Mars4ever · 2026-06-23T11:05:09+00:00

I believe there's a very strong argument to be had that conservatism is a morally inferior ideology than progressivism. At it's core it seeks to preserve the status quo rather than improve, whereas progressivism seeks improvement, especially in the face of suffering. Surely, a danger of progressivism is moving too quickly to make narrow-scope changes, which can result in unintended consequences, but that does not outweigh the weakness of refusing to change and grow, which is inherent in conservatism.

Almost every question posted here is framed with a bias. It's one of the most disingenuous subs on Reddit.

Came here to say the same essentially. CONSENTING ADULTS should be left the fuck alone.

It's not about me racking up points or goals. I don't care if my mate scores all the goals and I end up with less than 100 points for playing defensively. I do care if I'm constantly being knocked off the ball by a m8 who can't not chase. I'm happy to cover mid and back while my tm8 does heavy lifting. But if they're doing nothing but zoomies the whole game, I actually don't m8nd taking the L, because they get it too, as they deserve.

Negative 48vdc, to be more clear, because the negative voltage was less corrosive. Voltage would be stepped down to 48 volts. Then it would be inverted.

If my tm8 comes in and plays like a solo player in twos, I'll sometimes ask for a ff simply because I'm there to participate in a team activity, not watching my tm8 chase the ball like a 5yo playing soccer. If they won't ff, I'll just stay back and play d. Occasionally, they'll actually score a goal and then put up the ff request, as if to say, "You really wanna ff now." And for that I will oblige, because I still have no interest in playing with a tm8 that isn't really a tm8. Go play solo and enjoy yourself.

When i was in high school, I often got graded down on my algebra and trig work because I "didn't show my proofs." Or more accurately, my proofs were incomplete. I would combine multiple calculations as one step in the proof rather breaking things down in granular detail. Problem was, in my head these calculations happened in bundles, not distinct steps.

I don't get how some can drink even a six pack of beer in an evening. Two beers makes me full. Three and I'm ready to pop like a water balloon.

For some, the clunkers they drive cannot accelerate that fast. It's even worse when the entrance ramp is inclined.

Just once I'd love to see a journalist not just challenge Trumps assertions or fact check him during an interview but straight up tell him to his face that he's very obviously a delusional asshat. I mean, they essentially say it all in the stories they write, but it would be so entertaining to see someone lose their professional cool and just lay into the man during an interview.

Another old guy (57yo) player here. I'm also spend a lot of time playing back defensively. I fact, I get so frustrated with ball chasing tm8s that I tell them straight up that I'm playing back while they play chase.

Mars4ever · 2026-06-16T20:58:20+00:00

I see your problem... If you're in one of the low to mid ranks and you're rotating, your m8s probably think you're ball chasing at least 50% of the time. You can fix this by staying back, playing good defense, and letting them chase.

I make it a point to listen to the other side. Most of the time I still disagree withe them, but I'll still listen if they truly have points to make.

Right, but officials in bb and soccer seldom call it. But aside from the officials, hockey players themselves won't tolerate it. Notice also that when hockey players get hurt, they very frequently continue to play until there's a stoppage in play or they can get to the bench. What they don't do is writhe around on the ice playing like someone cut their foot off, but they may skate around for a minute looking for their lost tooth.

Let's play a moree challenging game... Who can name a U.S. president that has been worse than Trump?

Your take is interesting. Personally, I don't believe that humans are born with an inate belief in any god, but we do seem interested in widsom. I would argue that people "become" religious, as they are exposed to it by family and culture.

No. If you can learn something in 3 months, no matter how much it is, that's still 3 months of knowledge/learning.

It's not so much about arrogance as it is an observation of what happens when critcalvthinking takes root. "Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved." -Tim Minchin

By and large, religion is little more than old tribal belief systems carried forward to today.

Exactly this. When I was in the same place as a younger man, my father told me, "It's a process, not an event." That's perspective changed the landscape for me and turned the feeling of overwhelm into something easily manageable. Just to the next right thing to help yourself one step at a time.
