cross-wired?


is it valid argument, to suggest that :
in some sections of the left,
and libertarian sections of left and right,
too much emphasis is put on opposition
and counterpropaganda
in contrast to accepting the probable reality,
though not accepting in principal,
and inevitability of some developments
in legislation that effect or diminish
civil - well man's and woman's, liberties

and

by not focussing on a pragmatic approach :
for example, in applying political and rhetorical pressure,
to ensure a better "quality" of legislation,
and a sensitive implementation,
ie, leading to an improvement wrt
long term implications for minimising erosion
of civil rights and liberties,
to ensure robust encoding into legislation,
checks balances [a horrid phrase]
and limitations on power, etc.

is it possible to argue further,
that in some cases,
cumulative years of experience,
in some sections of the left
and libertarian left and right,
"plays itself out of the game"
- with the opposition or
counterpropaganda approach
- and thus perhaps,
has some responsibility
for the easy passage of such laws,
and erosion of civil - well,
man and woman's liberties?

or is the archetype misdirected,
forbidden escape from, or betrothed
to, its kingdom or modus operandi of opposition?

the above questions arise
