Something I notice again and again is that everyone basically wants the same thing and has very similar ideas of how to achieve it; the zone of agreement is far wider than the points of disagreement.
Admittedly by “everyone” I implicitly ruled out people who think that any form of state is illegitimate and must be torn down, people who think tax is theft, people who glory in war of all against all, and people who long for human extinction.
But besides a few notable exceptions, we’re all on the same side!
