    The real political divide is not between Left vs Right. It’s between people who create things vs people who destroy things.

        People who create things and people so inept they have no concept of, or appreciation for, what is involved in creating things.

        Interestingly vague. It seems most people think the people on their team are the creators and those on the other team are the destroyers. What specific kinds of destruction most concern you?

        Where does the creative destruction aspect of free markets fit in with this dichotomy?

        Left and right is outdated. We are beyond a dichotomy of ideology.

        Liberalism is dying from dementia.

        Of course the irony is that the left and the right both call each other liberals

        I think politics divides between zero-sum thinkers and people who believe most everything can and should be solved with win/win solutions.

        You forgot the people who steal the things that people create and call it their own.

        Ok, but one of the political sides enthusiastically hates value creators, and loves destruction. The other gives creators at least lukewarm praise. So, by picking creators or destroyers, you are implicitly picking right or left.

        I don’t think you’ll find creativity at either end of the spectrum. Hard right and hard left don’t look very different to me

        Interesting take — I tend to think the divide is more: those who value nuance, respect liberal democracy, cherish free speech, agree to disagree...versus those who are more regressive/totalitarian in their impulses even if they would never say that. Left/right has both of these.

        Thought it was people wanting to control others vs people who have no desire to do so.
