I don't know how but everyone seems to agree that if anything requires effort or some level of complex thought away from routine that it should be banned.

Like how did we come to expect life to be so easy?
And the people with power will push it like it is right.

By it being so easy for so long. How many people do you know that grow any of their own food? How many people do you know that literally never work out and also don't have a physically demanding job? We are victims of our own success. And we have had it so long that we expected it to unsustainably continue ad infinitum.

Also the whole being nice requires a step above basic instincts thing, and conservatives are lazy both physically and intellectually.

See, its funny cause this is probably why I don't fit into the modern western world.

Cause I did not grow up easy. I did/do grow my own food, paid my own way through college with 3 jobs and 2 days of sleep a week and when I had to deal with the fact that I was still broke and unemployable after, I sold myself into indentured servitude and had little control over my life for 6 years before I came back to the US.

I truly can not relate to the life of an average american even if I can empathize that the world sucks. I'm 30 and I joke that I'm 300 at heart.
