“If you looked at anywhere on the map 200 years ago, would you find anywhere half as good as here? Progress is an unending road.”
 
I could be wrong but I don’t interpret the question the same way you do. Any reasonable comparison must be done from the same chronological point or else it makes no sense.

Good question. In some ways it seems to and in some it does not seem to. Lets just say I am glad I am where I am.

His point is that we didn’t get where we are right now by merely “maintaining what we have accomplished” and if the people from 200 years ago had focused on that back then like you suggest we do now, we wouldn’t have accomplished it in the first place.

Why is it that whenever someone points out how thinks are better now then they used to be the response is that things could continue to improve? I don’t think Silbasa is advocating that we simply maintain the status quo and don’t try to improve anything.

Is there anything more American than telling people “GET BACK TO WORK!” on a holiday dedicated to the celebration of their labor? Because one of the most American things happened yesterday when unemployment benefits expired on Labor Day.

I feel flattered that the Indian farming mechanization market finally decided to reach out to the brony Fandom, which as we know have been left out as a potential tractor consumer market share for far too long. We can thank Applejack for helping closing that gap

The Taliban want to stay a regional power and be left alone (while turning a blind eye on their AL Quaeda buddies shenanigans) while ISIL want Afghanistan to be a province of their global caliphate, ISIL want the Talibans out because they lack ambitions and aren’t pious/extremists enough for their taste  
God is and remain an unproven hypothesis

@Latecomer  
The question is the following: where are you going now socially and politically? What more do you want for modern day England?
 
All I see are extremists with extreme solutions. Most, if not all the basics are covered now. Civilization will always advance and evolve of course but in the current far left progressivism instead of progress I see stagnation and regression. By doing what far left activists want we lose progress and we end up stifling it. The end result is some authoritarian nightmare they in their ignorance consider paradise.

Cristobal Colón’s statue (Chris Columbus for non spaniards out there) is finna be replaced with a statue of a native woman in Mexico City. Sure. Good for them.
 
@Latecomer  
Ironic considering Silbasa could probably be lynched, tried and hanged for expressing his current values, WHICH, had he lived two centuries earlier, woulda been deemed too radically progressive.

@silbasa  
You fear losing progress due to a radical change. Is cool, I get it. I hate it too when I lose so much progress due to an update or change to the system and have to readjust / rebuild a lot of the stuff I been working on.
 
I get you’s comfy where you’s at. Problem is some ppl havent had the same amount of comfort you’s got and the current system makes it several times harder for them to earn said comfort.
 
So now they’re trying to get the same amount of comfort you’s been having. Probably at your expense but hey, it is what it is.

@Background Pony #74E7  
Does he have an alternate direction (besides “back to before I realised that games/cartoons were all political”)?
 
 
@silbasa  
I want us to move away from injustice and exploitation, at home and abroad. Whether this is compatible with capitalism in the long run… well, I’m not sure yet. But what I am sure is that America still has further to go than us.
 
Certainly “extreme” solutions must be considered very carefully, and used as a last resort - but that’s not the same as ruling them out entirely. (And I suspect that we don’t always agree what solutions are actually extreme.)
 
 
 
@tehwatever  
Heh! If I think of it that way, I’m very sympathetic to conservatives! (Manual file arrange on Windows forever!)

@Latecomer  
I don’t know, ask him. Personally I oppose progressivism as I consider myself a classical liberal. My progress would be continuing to open free trade across the world and allowing people to move about and better themselves. Right now capitalism is the best way to do it.

I was wrong. That Texan website meant to list bounties for abortions? It did lose its hosting provider for a third time!
 
It somehow lost a provider that’s okay hosting sites for literal nazis and pedophiles. That’s just sad.

Free trade between countries is what has brought so many out of poverty, it needs to continue. Asia has seen tremendous growth, and as long as the world doesn’t regress to one of protectionism (as sadly both the Democrats and Republicans push for now) we can see Africa rise up in this century. It’s already begun with the African Continental Free Trade Area.

Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, dude, at least it’s an ethos.
 
I don’t know that they’ll be able to find any host that’s okay with third-party data harvesting. Maybe in Russia or one of those countries that’s over there. I hope anti-choice weasels like malware.

Plot twist:Everything may have been “pahlitikal” all along but the greatest advantages the pre 2007 Era had was that we didn’t have to suffer a never ending deluge of bad takes and intentional disinformation campaign by every Johnny Nobody who figured out how to use Windows Movie Maker to shit out a 5 hours YouTube rant about how Steven Universe didn’t do the thing you wanted it to do or how Super Mario is about a bloodthirsty monarchy. Turns out it’s not really the movies and whatnot shoving politic down your throat, it was the self crowned prosumer/Fandom intelligentsia that can’t shut the fuck up about it and steadily refuse to just enjoy a movie as pure entertainment anymore. I saw the “don’t ask questions, just consume” overposted maymay earlier in this thread and I tell you, the more we are getting stuck in that loop of perpetual outrage and constant post-ironic deconstructivist whatever bullshit that is our current pop culture landscape, I think the so called “consoomers” were the good guy all along. Everyone is so lost in their egomaniacal quest to deconstruct and question everything to feel better about our intelligence that the “entertainment” part of entertainment may as well be thrown in the trash
