    Right to left, I’d define the that spectrum as Reactionary (Alt-right), conservative, centrist, liberal, and revolutionary (leftist, I think?).

    You are mixing desire of change(conservative vs reformist) with relations of policy and economy(socialism vs capitalism).

    I’d consider the Republican Party to currently be between conservative and alt-right, with the Democratic Party being centrist with liberal window dressing.

    You call them centrist, I call them center-right at best. It looks more right-wing than LDPR(former LDPSS, first right-wing party in USSR) or Russia of the Future(Navalny’s party, center-right).

    But also, I don’t believe a revolt or some form of dramatic U.S. government reformation is possible.

    Yeah, it’s 21st century. I don’t see it happening.

    I fucking wish society was more altruistic and smarter.

    Smart society needs members of that society to be smart. Which means they need to attend school regardless of having a farm.

    I just… don’t see any realistic or actionable outcome other than to keep fighting for every inch using the tools we have, even if they are faulty, entrenched systems. Call me propagandized, unimaginative, cynical or stupid, or… whatever, I guess. I just don’t see other viable options,

    Welcome to political apathy.

    and I think broadcasting moral superiority,

    If only legism was moral superiority. Then legists of Third Reich would be “morally superior”. Well, they did claim to be superior everywhere. Didn’t help in Nuremberg.

    Meanwhile people who built universal education, universal healthcare, public transit and welfare systems in my country weren’t legists.
