MODERATORS
One thing I have definitely observed over the years.
It seems only the left comes up with new ideas and so, even when they don't have political power, they still move society forward.
And yes, there are backlash and temporary regressions, but overall, no free country seems to be moving towards old, conservative ideas.
For humanity, the only way seems forward. Towards the newer and better ideas.
Countries don't always stay free, though. Look at Hong Kong, Russia and Hungary.
Russia wasn't free for very long.
But it was. Yeah, it's more likely to happen to a country that's only been more-or-less free for about 15 years, but hardly impossible in older democracies.
Fair.
