The left favours equality above truth. The right favours freedom above truth. Both ignore the fact that we cannot have true freedom or equality unless we first favour truth above all.

Frdm and equality are the 2 fndnl principles of my society. Not in conflict. Are you talking about equality of outcome- “equity”? We live our lives rooted in narrative much more thn facts. Freedom/equality vs equity is a battle of narratives. They feel equally true to each side.

Yes but there's a difference between perceived truth and actual truth. There's plenty of the former in politics, but comparatively little of the latter.

Believing in ideals of freedom and equality under law for all is very new and not inevitable. Vast majority of humans in history wouldn’t understand it. We r lucky 2 have such a narrative, but it doesn’t make it more true than Ghengis Khans narrative.
