The world is mostly as it should be, and any attempt to make it better would just make it worse
Every time I try to untangle any policy or social issue that people tend to discuss on these forums, I always encounter an unsolveable gordian knot where pulling one lever hurts something else or has some cascading effect that results in a net negative. Two examples to follow, but in summary when you actually look into the things people want to happen, realizing those wants would have net negative results for most people involved.
Take the popular opinion about residential property taxes. I was debating with some leftists about this and they said it's stupid to pay property tax on something you already paid for. I explained that property taxes are the primary tax base for the municipality and that pays for your schools, policing, some of the services like water, sewage, with an insane variance depending on State/ Province (generalizing between USA and Canada as I am familiar with both). That money would have to come from somewhere if we cancelled the property tax, so people I debated with said it could come from sales tax. I explain that sales taxes disproportionately harm lower income families and individuals because they spend a higher proportion of their total income on basic costs of living that have sales taxes on them. Like someone making $2k a month spending $500 on food per month, 10% sales tax on the $500 is like 2.5% of their income versus someone making 10k per month with same food bill and taxes, it's 0.5% of their income. Just to be conclusive yes I understand that most of the food bill doesn't have sales tax if it's like raw vegetables but just as a very general example. Like obviously the $10k income probably buying MORE but RELATIVELY speaking, on a percentage basis, the sales tax is impacting the $2k income person more.
After discussing that, they pivot to increasing commercial property tax. I say OK great, now brick and mortar businesses that can already barely pay their lease, their lease goes up by exactly that same amount of the new tax increment, and they have to either increase the costs of what they sell to their customers, or go out of business. Most brick and mortar businesspeople I know are barely making ends meet, like the leases are $4k and they only selling $10k of product per month, after cost of goods they paying themselves a basic living salary. Commercial taxes are already 2-4x the rate of residential as it is. And besides, you'd have to charge an absolutely insane amount to make up the difference for the loss of residential property taxes as those are the bulk of the property tax portfolio.
Then let's look at other cases. Typical anti capitalist 'eat the rich' arguments you see that are absurdly popular on Reddit. Most of the ideas involve some sort of bitterness or hatred of wealthy individuals. You can just feel the seething bitterness dripping off the words of some of these users when they venomously express their ideals. You know what that's led to every time? Something like the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, holocaust in Germany, bednyak collaborating with the Bolsheviks to murder and re-appropriate holdings of kulaks in USSR. We realize every time in hindsight that the way things were, were with reason. The kulaks were the conscientious and industrious of the society that made the land productive. Their farms rotted away once the lazy bednyaks had killed them and taken their lands for themselves. Millions starved. This happens literally every time in history when we've had a true uprising of the lower class. You get a bunch of morons that failed at everything else previously in life who achieved power with violence who can't run society worth shit.
All of the preceding paragraphs are a very long example of just two areas where misinformed people think they could do it better. Any time I try to dig into ideas people have to make the world a better place, it's the same shit. No, you would not make the world a better place if your stupid ideas were put into practice. You'd fuck it up 10x worse than it already is. In a best case scenario, you make things worse for a little bit and we revert back to the way things were before the changes. Worst case scenario, you trigger something far worse and we're back to square one in 10 years after a lot of people have died.
We're safer supporting the status quo than any reforms or changes in policy. Especially when you look at the people that have these ideas, they are where they are in life for a reason. They are looking for reforms and changes to the system because they are in a bad place in the system. And most of the time, that is with reason. If we give any of the holders of these beliefs real power we realize very quick they were ill-equipped to deliver any positive change to the world. We're better off with the tyrants we have, the meritocratic ones that at least maintain a somewhat livable system for the most of us.
