(53,661 posts)There are a variety of human traits that are functional in every person. Each person has good and evil, so to speak, but those terms have gotten out of hand throughout history.
People relate differently, some people are going to help, some are going to destroy. They give free rein to what they believe in or think works best for them and or everyone.
I'm not into the libertarian vs. authoritarian analogy. The kind of libertarian that has power now doesn't care if others they don't care about are crushed by others, anymore than a typical repuke. They go on about the ultimate in civil libertarianism and flat out ignore the war of the day that is pepertrated on millions who don't have their advantages, whether they see themselves as advantaged or not.
Because sometimes we can't see it. Then they go after those they see as more conformist with name calling when those people have simply banded together for their survival. So that's not going to work for me.
