Sin is what ultimately keeps people from believing the truth. We need to share the gospel with the lost and pray for God’s mercy and forgiveness on this wicked nation who loves its sin more than it loves God and God’s commandments.

48 year ago, company mandated Personal Skills Laboratory, I saw very clearly one of life's reality. Folks are driven by entertainment value of ones speech far, far , more than the content. Put 50 engineers and 50 sales/marketing folks in an auditorium to work on a problem and the S/M folks will dominate every time.
Its what politicians and tupperwear salesman do.

To the right of today’s conservatives on a decent number of things, to the left of conservatives on a very small number of things (mainly centered around natural conservation), with some anarcho-libertarianism sprinkled in.
Your beliefs sound very similar to mine.
When I was a kid, I often wondered why other kids didn't think and believe exactly like I did.
Over time I came to understand that beliefs are neither right nor wrong. They are mostly preferences about how you would like things to be done. But other people have different preferences.
It just comes down to how effectively you can persuade other people to understand and adopt your beliefs. Some people are just locked in to what they grew up with, how they were raised, etc. They are afraid to think outside the box, or simply don't have the capacity.
When it comes to anarcho-capitalism, for most people that is too much of a paradigm shift for them to comprehend.

Can you give an example or two?

Beliefs that require self-accountability are rarely popular. Especially when compared to beliefs that say someone else is responsible.

Ah, okay. If you believe that literally then I see your point.

Most of our problems as a country can be summed up with this one tweet, your question included.

Modern western culture, to a larger degree than any other time in human history, has prioritized their own personal, selfish emotions and impulses over the good of greater civil society and our childrens' future
This is a biproduct of the erosion of the nuclear family model, the war on religion, the feminization of society, brain rot technoference, and the demonization of conservative values

Your beliefs probably align with mine and many others here.
The world (and this country) is moving on. As a reversal of JFK line, everyone now asks "What can America (and it's taxpayers) do for me?".

a leftist knows that "tax the rich" policies and purely punitive and will hurt his state.
he understands that jacking the minimum wage and decriminalizing petty theft will destroy small business.
he is aware that "abolish the police" will level minority communities, then ultimately all communities.
the leftist knows that open borders and endless welfare don't square.
he knows, deep down, that political censorship and gun grabbing are a direct assault on the constitution.
he knows his party is cheating in elections and engaged in spying and lawfare against their political opponents.
he just doesnt care. all that shite makes him feel good and "sticks it to the fascists", and that's all that matters to him. When the problem lands on his doorstep, he'll start caring but then it will be too late. Case in point, when Ron sent the migrants to Martha's Vineyard

Yeah, you're right here. As the modern take goes... “Building is harder than burning.” and they all seem to be arsonists.

This is wrong. Or right.
But not both.

The beat was music some 5th graders could produce. We disc jockeys called those crappy records that still sold: STR...Stupid Teen Rock.
