The economy has so many problems but Americans are fighting about what one does in their personal life. We get so engrossed in the “culture wars” that we totally forget the social policy is only one half of the story.

Though I must admit his post came of as kind of…odd to say the least. But if my suspicions prove to be correct I do believe Jishuin is from a different culture than western culture, so bear that in mind that there might be a cultural difference here. In some parts of the world social values never change (take Russia or China for example) but here in western countries our culture constantly evolves with changing times and circumstances. I can’t speak for them specifically, but it should be noted that people are not going to hold a value universally which might explain that post.

Right and I understand his point, but it seems like he thought that focusing on social issues is an inherently bad thing, we can’t exactly expect a socialist government overnight… and with conservatives winning more political ground in the US i believe getting small but gradual victories over them is key, with socialism being the end goal
