You are entirely correct, for once.

Actaully that's pretty amazing that we agree on something. :)

I'm sure we agree on many more things than we disagree on.

It depends. I'm more into pragmatism then idealism. I'm not really all that into protest culture since they tend to clog up the roads and it just seems more productive to go after legislature directly, if that's the problem. The politicians just ignore them anyway and so does the city for the most part, it just messes up people's commute. It is mostly seen as free training on the city's tab for kids who wish to go into politics later. The big protests. Those they notice. There just aren't that many of them, only one or two a generation.

that's cute. you're like a cartoon of an iodeologue.

idealism is within pragmatism. There is an ideal the pragmatist strives for. your neat boxes are useless except for rationalizing a complex world you don't understand.

the landlords and bosses that get hanged and shot in every revolution think as you do. keep on keeping on!

No. I'm just myself. There is a difference between theorists and people who actually do the ground work. If you are anti-government fine. It just doesn't matter what your ideaology is if you don't have a vote at the table. Political movements take years to materialize, generations. The people who make contemporary decisions work within the system. I'm not really into feeling morally superior it's just not my personality. If I choose to get involved with policy it would be directly.
