The biggest flaw of every ideology

[Basman]

Videos like these highlight what's great about the internet. Distilling information in easy and accessible means. 

Another channel worth checking out I think, like Elephant in the Room.

Fascism -has to continously manufacture enemies, both internal and external, in order to justify itself politically.

Feminism -keeps moving the goalpost since biological reality doesn't support a 50/50 outcome relative to equality.

Liberalism -invites chaos, instability and fragmentation by loosening of restrictions.

Conservatism -maintaining its version of order at any cost leads to oppression and tyranny. 

Communism -requires that every single human being is altruistic, all the time. Which is impossible. Humans desire improvement of their lot in life.

Socialism -it's impossible to adequately predict peoples demand for goods and services in a centralized fashion. The market changes too fast to keep up with for a single organization.

Libertarianism -can't adequately provide public goods, regulate harmful business practices and neglects the social underclass (sick, elderly, etc.)

Anarchism -without law and order humans will organize into tribes and gangs. Combating the violence and chaos of inter-tribal conflict itself leads to the formation of government.

Environmentalism -values the environment more than humanity at its most extreme. Ends justify the means.

It sounds like environmentalism is the most defensible so long as we don't start a genocide against the entirety of humanity.

I remember there used to be "let it burn" policies for forest fires. It raises the question of what is natural. is genocide natural? Maybe if someone views the world as an interconnected environment, then from that perspective humanity is a data point in the environment rather than the most important thing in the universe. This can create a morally detached position in which humans are just animals with rationality, barely more important other animals if at all.

I guess if I were truly detached, then there is no need to save the world either. The idea of saving the world taken to extreme is what destroys the world.
