For Me...""

I am a Cautious Progressivist Anarchist.

I don't believe all progress is good or even that all progress is actually progress. I always look deeper and read between the lines, and I never take what anyone says as fact without looking further into it. I'm one of those kinds of people that gets put on 'watchlists' because I am a danger to the Authoritarian bullshit.

Democrats, Republicans, Independents, you are all part of the problem, but not the core of the problem. Politico-religious gambits are the core of society's issues, and that's part of the reason why my homeland does not have any form of government.

Don't like what's going on? Voting won't help you. Praying to some deity whose existence has never been proven won't help you aside from the placebo effect.

Yes, I believe in progress when it is good for all, and bountiful both short and long term. Otherwise, it is basically sugar cream.

Idealism is hard work.

And requires subversion of desires to the larger good.

Latte or Mocha?
@wistful Trust is hard work, indeed, yet at the same time, if you don't think about it and just go with it, it flows so easily.

Café au laít, s'il vous plait.
Oui @Amyrakunejo, et voila, cela peut être fait facilement.

I agree with you on gaining trust being hard work. I tend to be skeptical of most new things, including relationships- not because they are prone to fail. But because as the surface can be smooth and glasslike, while beneath, can lie a torrent of ills and all consuming need.
@wistful Not just gaining, but retaining, with retaining being harder.

Yet, at the same time, I take one look at how well my hometown, my homeland has done just running autonomously on trust and open trade...
