As much as I rag on the left and on liberals, I don't think society should just jettison half the country. As much as I may be tilting rightward as I get older, I recognize that a healthy society needs dynamic tension to survive and thrive. The following video, from Generation Films, a channel devoted to nerdy commentary on sci-fi and fantasy films, states and develops my thoughts quite well. The video uses the TV series "The Expanse" as a sort of teaching tool to present its ideas, and the presentation is well done. There's a bit of a rightward bias visible in the video's anti-utopianism, but for me, that's a welcome bias. Utopia is for fools.
Give the video a whirl if you're so inclined.
