Problem @robkroese is having is that he is a full fledged adult operating at Kegan stage 4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kegan …, where rules matter and we respect processes, while the SJWs he deals with are children at stage 2 who want to win no matter what & don't believe in reciprocity.https://twitter.com/robkroese/status/1031217276400427009 …

3/ An adult would LIKE to win all the time, but understands pragmatically that it's better to have objective invariant rules that sometimes favor him, sometimes don't, but in general create a calm productive society. "I dented his car door and I have to pay? <sigh> Yeah, I did"

4/ The pragmatism becomes morality with time and maturity. "I damaged his car door and no one saw me. I'll leave a note BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO."

5/ The child wants "heads I win, tails you lose" because the 5 year old brain is not mature enough to understand the long term benefit of rules. They want do-overs, they want to win every board game, etc.

6/ Why do (many) progs operate at level 2? It varies, case by case. I think some are intellectually and morally stunted and can't perceive the long-term benefit to themselves of having established rules and honest refereeing. ...and I think others are evil.

7/ Don't make the mistake, though, of thinking that all cons are better than all progs. There are immature children and evil PoS on both sides. E.g. cons who'd use state power to mandate sectarian prayers or criminalize flag burning.
