    social umbrellas

    Treat the symptoms not the cause

    support all wars against bullies because pacifism does nothing to stop them otherwise.

    Simplify geopolitics into “bullies”, support the actions of NATO/US as though they’re not “bullies”

    Pretty much liberal yeah

      Treat both. They usually give you a painkiller while setting your bones.

        Wait until they find out that there’s a ton of “we don’t know what the underlying cause is” and “we don’t have a cure for that yet” in medicine. In which case you have to do your best treating the symptoms – which is also true outside of the world of medicine.

        Sometimes a temporary fix buys you time to do it right. Sometimes a perfect or even “really good” solution isn’t feasible for myriad reasons: so you do the best with what you have.

          It’s just such a stupid false dichotomy. Give the man the fish and teach him to fish. It’s a lot easier to learn on a full stomach.

            You expect leftists to do anything but idly daydream about the day that a socialist revolution finally and magically falls into their laps?

      I definitely prefer my symptoms being treated while waiting to get the cure

      Treat the symptoms not the cause.

      You’ll find that almost all liberals also want to treat the cause, but they are blocked at every step by conservatives and centrists.
