it’s almost amazing how many people had the point sail over their heads, i’m very much progressive :)

i look at the past, see it was in many ways pretty good, look at the present, see it’s pretty fucking miserable in those same ways, and then the obvious conclusion is that maybe people in the past did some stuff right, such as enjoying the sociopolitical benefits of public transport and workers’ rights.

then i see people call themselves conservative and just advocate making things WORSE, and i’m filled with an intense desire to wallop them with wet day-old fish.
