The main reasons I switched in my political leanings from left to rather conservative: I saw how in the U.S. the Bernie Sanders Left enabled Trump; and I saw how in Germany the Left abolished #nuclear energy while complaining about climate change. Plus a bit of thinking about infrastructure's tenacity towards change and the increasing conviction that most "world changing" or "world saving", if it is to be more than chatter, is the change of #infrastructure. And as the #history of infrastructures tells us: the outlook is bleak.The last aspect: That the Left's (and Green's etc.) critique of capitalism and modern societies, if it is to make sense at all, presupposes the very full-fledged functioning of this extractivist, oppressive, and exploitative system it is out to abolish. In fact, this system is the lesser evil. Strange journey that brought me to this point. But the interesting question is: What's the next stop?
