No, that is a sound determination after years of observation and interaction on this forum.

The level of injustice and wrong you endure is directly determined by how much you quietly submit to. Even to the point of extinction.

I agree, Righties are afraid of change and continue hanging onto the old paragram which we all know is dying.......
The Times They Are A´Changing
Righty - looks like a Morman too.
We used to call em squares.......

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cog', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bluekachina', 'I')sn't it funny that all the global warming deniers and right wing clowns are defending oligarchy.
What is even funnier is that the left-wing libtards want even more government control that the oligarchy needs in order to function.
Just as I suspected all along. Both sides are totally culpable.

Anyone who sees things in the colors of right and left, democrat or republican is blind to reality peak oil issues aside.

That's not anthropologically accurate, of course. Most human societies have not been hierarchies.

Yes it is accurate. There were no such thing as a human society without hierarchy. People on the top always got better beds, skins, morsels, pussies. Why bother getting there otherwise?
