Hey, it’s my first blog post in like 20 years. I feel like I have stuff to say. https://medium.com/@mike.brock/the-politics-of-virtue-versus-the-politics-of-consequence-dfbe6932ab83
Great write up Mike.
When you politicize everything you destroy faith and gain nothing of value while exposing the truths of how we got here.
I’m slowly reading The Party. It’s abundantly clear that whether you believe in Communism or Democracy.
Whether you lean left or right, whether your a capitalist or socialist. They’re all stealing the “best” from each other. Each group takes from their opponents what works in one dogmatic approach and embeds it in the their cultist system and then seeks to take on the world as a stronger group with a “better” approach.
We are thousands of years in and still facing the problem without eradicating the central problem rooted in us all… human greed.
This character flaw creates a spectrum we all lie on in the pursuit of money. Until we right this flaw history will repeat as it always has with one group trying to destroy the other for personal gain.
