Agreed. Although problem is, government will always decide to use it against the people it sees as a problem.
They are not unrelated, they are one of the reasons why leftism / progressivism is so successful. Families basically don't exist anymore, and literally everything we have come up with to try and compensate for that problem... is controlled by the left.
Leftism is just better at adapting to conditions created by modernity, partly because it was created by said conditions.
I meant families in general. As for the Church, no idea. Half of the leftist language is basically copy-pasted from Church sermons anyway, it is just out of the context and often pushed to the extreme.
What I meant is that unlike natural tribes which are mostly concerned with their own survival and only lash out against others if they are perceived as a danger, leftists want absolute domination - they see any dissent as a threat, and do not want to allow existence of anything outside the leftism itself.
It is an epitome of totalitarian ideology.
True, and it was replaced by a monarchical government that lasted for 1500 years. But the world has sped up significantly since then.
That is what I meant with "but problem is".
But that basically means accepting Left's victory as inevitable and, essentially, hoping that some kind of apocalypse will wipe out the modern society without exterminating human species as such, and that before Leftists manage to either cause humanity to go extinct or to turn it into something unrecognizable.
I'd rather become a monster - except even that hasn't managed to stop them (see Chile).
Right has lost in large part because Left advances and Right compromises. Today's conservatives are yesteryear's progressives. Punt today's rightists about a hundred years in the past, and they will be the worst of leftists by that time's standards.
The main problem is that the Right is merely focused on preserving what they know, on preserving their childhood memories, whereas Left is focused on destroying the current society and making their ideals into childhood memories of the next generation. And this means that next generation of conservatives will be completely, utterly indistinguishable from today's progressives, while next generation of progressives will have been considered insane by most of today's progressives.
Look at what happened to previous generation of Wokeist, Leftist idols for a perfect illustration. J.K. Rowling? You know, that typical hypocritical foaming-at-the-mouth leftist author? Just recently, she got cancelled by new generation leftists because she is apparently fascist.
This generational mutation is how the Left wins. Conservatives, by their very nature, live in the present. They only react. As a result, they simply cannot oppose a movement - a cult - whose fundamental nature is constructed around forcing a permanent change, a march into oblivion.
Tet offensive was a success because it was a propaganda victory. Tactically, it basically destroyed the Viet Cong, but strategically, it ended any hope of United States winning the war.
