    I consider it conservative to instantly dismiss a list of solutions to real problems. “That’s impractical” is typically translated to “I’m far too fucking lazy to think about that topic, let’s leave things how they are”

      Hrm, okay? You yourself really drank the Conservative koolaid though if you can only think in black and white with no further nuance.

      Everything is a trade-off in life. Every solution costs something else. Its funny that you accuse someone who couldn’t be less conservative if they tried of that, just because I would like to actually change something, not just talk about it - and hence need workable solutions not utopian ideas. Though as I said to the op, on an utopian level I agree of course.

        Yes, everything costs something, including inaction, and there is enough budget to cover that cost … so instead of looking at it like a trade-off you might look at it like a purchase of ‘a better life for most’ with the ‘money/labour you already made’.

        Right you instantly dismissed solutions but I’m the conservative. I understand tradeoffs but I read your comment. It was dismissive

          Okay, well then in that case it really wasn’t meant that way but I’m also not a native English speaker. 😞

            Thanks for clarifying. I appreciate this response and I hope I wasn’t too rude with mine.
