A Constant Source of Strife

Politics has a tendency to bring the worst out in people. Civilized conversations quickly decay into verbal fights when politics is brought up, and the reason for this is that almost all political ideas have a Saturnistic view of humanity. Subjugation of our fellow men is the dominant idea of almost every political system, and that leads necessarily to strife and conflicts.

There is only one political idea that does not promote subjugation, and that is Liberty. Under Liberty, there is no subjugation, and hence no need for opposing groups to fight for self preservation. Those who fight Liberty are doing so in order to subjugate others.

The vast majority of people adhere to some sort of subjugation in their political belief. They see a need to fight their fellow men. That is why strife is almost impossible to avoid in political discussions. Saturnists of varying colours will fight each other, and they will join together to fight the very idea of Liberty.
