Left handed compliment

The political left, when you boil it down, is driven by a sense of fairness.

The trick is figuring out, for each group of lefties, to whom this sense of fairness extends. There are always out-siders.

We can be fair within in a society but still not good as a society. For example, how other societies or the planet is treated. Or even a lack of fiscal responsibility that might harm future generations.

It’s a shame that most of our progressive political types are lefties; too much of the same and most with the same blind spots when it comes to goodness.

Most of them honestly believe that being fair is the same as being good.
