I think it helps to have a nuanced opinion and make sure we don't spiral into an echo chamber. For my example, I've found that lefties are able to identify a lot of the right problems, it's just that they think gay space communism is the solution to it.
For instance, I completely agree that North American cities are really stupidly designed. The car-centric nature of them means you're stranded if your vehicle breaks down. The fact that you have to go into debt to buy this big stupid box to navigate your own city is ridiculous in the first place.
But when it comes to their solutions for this they can't separate their stupid idpol nonsense from it. My local city government keeps talking about "equitable solutions" to traffic and pedestrian fatalities. Typical "world ending, women most affected" type stuff.
Plus they keep droning on about high density housing which absolutely no one wants to live in. in their utopia we'd all live in depressing Soviet-style block apartments.
Didn't a lot of the car thing stem from the fact that America is just so spread out and there's no real reason to be compact when there's space available for all.
The problem is big cities instead of more, smaller centres.
I'd say a big thing they are right about, on a macro scale is the need for change. True conservatism or reliance on tradition is a death sentence for cultures. No-one is more traditional and conservative than australian aborigines, 40k years plus of the same culture and lifestyle. You do need to change to stay ahead of the curve or someone else will invent gunpowder and you really really need to have some links with them to get some of that sweet sweet black powder. Pure xenophobia doesn't work in the long run.
Before cars, there were horses. Do you know why counties are mapped the way they are? It's so people on the borders can go to church on Sunday, ride to the county seat on Monday, and vote on Tuesday. Horse thieves would get hanged because stealing a man's horse was effectively a death sentence via stranding.
The more you know.
