minus-square@alvvayson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•1 year agoOne thing I have definitely observed over the years. It seems only the left comes up with new ideas and so, even when they don’t have political power, they still move society forward. And yes, there are backlash and temporary regressions, but overall, no free country seems to be moving towards old, conservative ideas. For humanity, the only way seems forward. Towards the newer and better ideas.
