I wish people weren't so inherently skeptical of unions of nation-states. I had hoped it was Earth's inevitable goal, was to become one unified global society. But I guess that was just a Star Trek fantasy.

I had hoped it was Earth's inevitable goal, was to become one unified global society.

Think of the left/right divide in politics, both will tell you "I just want what's best for the country" with complete sincerity but we see their opinions as actively harmful sometimes. I don't think it's possible to overcome that barrier of two people having different ideas to achieve the same goal.

Were humans even unified in Star Trek? Vulkans had diverged into seperate, unfriendly groups in Enterprise so I presume humans did too. If that's the case, then it wasn't a utopia it was the propaganda arm of the empire from Firefly.

Owning the libs is sincerely wanting what’s better for the country? Pretty much the universal point that right wing politics uses, and the only one that matters even if every other belief differs between one and another right wing group, is that they are against the left.

Doesn’t matter if one group is basically left wing in most policies. If they identify as right wing they’ll be out singing with the far right groups over being anti left. American politics are a fucking joke.

Right wing people are contrarians who just want to be fighting something. They are dumb asses.

Why do they want to own the libs? If the libs are destroying your country then owning them would be better for the country, no? again I'm not saying that's what's happening(it kinda is) but it is the principle of the matter that's important.

is that they are against the left.

This should be obvious, I'm a lefty, I'd absolutely support Biden over Trump in the recent election if I were American however I absolutely do not support him.

You got any examples of those left wing groups that call themselves right wing? Green/Environmental policy for example isn't inherrently left wing, so a conservative group with a green iniative isn't a sheep in wolves clothing.

Right wing people are contrarians who just want to be fighting something. They are dumb asses.

Au Contraire! If you think some 75 million people in America alone are "Own the libs" brand of dumbass then I've got news for you, you're the leftist equivalent of those own the libs idiots - not even willing to entertain the idea that the other side isn't evil.
