What makes one a Christian is not what he believes but what he does not believe: other majority religions.
What makes one a member of the right is that he does not believe in the moral claims of the left.
NRX does not believe that democracy is possible.
The alt right does not believe that reconciliation or compromise is possible.
In my work I do not believe that anarchy is possible, that the institutions of the past are recoverable, or that consensus building is possible without escalation to insurrection.
Everything positive one advocates or believes is a mere theory among bedfellows of disbelief.
The particular dream we each have is irrelevant. It is that which we no longer believe is possible that forms these movements.
Why?
A lack of innovative solutions.
People diversify and embrace the questionable for the simple reason that they have nothing positive to rally around.
Hence why we work on substantive solutions while the extremists rail at the heavens.
So this criticism while true does not matter because it criticizes the obvious: desperate claims given the absence of achieve able goals.
