If we want GOS to grow, we need to welcome and help people understanding the differences. We don’t need to be pedantic schmucks.

You are mixing a lot of things here : capitalist vs anti capitalist regime is not this same as progressive/conservative politics.

If you believe social progress should benefit only you and not me, you are not progressive.

And I’d like to point out that all regimes you mention are not different from any other : they all had a ruling class. This is, again, not progressive.

And as I pointed out in an other comment: studies suggest that Totalitarianism is not about left or right, because they use the same concepts to validate their ideologies.

What you define is segregation : a society where progress benefits me, but not you, because you are different.

If we consider one of the key value of the “left” being progress, I think it is difficult to concillate both.

I’d argue they were totalitarian and not conservative. The funny thing about Totalitarianism is that it does not really care about being left or right and seems to share the same values : https://news.emory.edu/stories/2021/09/esc_left_wing_authoritarians_psychology/campus.html

You can indeed be a right wing liberal, it is however more difficult to be a left wing conservative

You spelled a lifelong experience of bending forward without complaining wrong.

You could make an argument that if a song is listened a lot, it means a lot of people find it good and thus is could not be bad. But then again, Suicide Squad was a successful movie if you were to base your judgement on popularity.

What is sad IMO is that he’s quite freaking good. It’s kind of a waste.

It’s easier if you’re a Catholic church. Children take less space and you’re already experienced being into them.
