I'd consider myself on the left, perhaps the Old Left(tm), under the definition that I believe in accountable (heavily underlined) government intercession in society to preserve fair outcomes for those with low resources. If society can't promise that, I don't know if there's much value in the concept of a 'society' in the first place, since it doesn't appear able to offer much to anyone.

Oh it offers plenty to the ones holding the reigns of power. They love your view. It means they can trickle little crumbs to the poors in the name of “fair outcomes”, while keeping the vast majority for themselves.

The government is evil. It always will be, because evil is drawn to power. The only times it isn't, occur when people have strong Christian beliefs. Even then, you want the smallest government possible just to minimize the risk of corruption. Not one that intervenes to make things “fair”. I mean fuck, you could use that excuse to do literally anything and everything.

Guess that’s why I’m an American.
