I have found, through discussing politics and world events with friends and family, that most people have a similar idea of what a fair and good world looks like.
Most people want their neighborhood to look like the Hallmark cards, not asphalt carbrain dystopias.
Most people think it is wrong to live off the work of others.
Most people want their work to have meaning, to be part of a greater purpose; to advance humanity in the abstract, as one species and not as individuals.
Ironically on this latter point, the military actually sort of offers this. If you join the military you won’t be rich, but you will be taken care of in a quasi-socialist fashion. You work toward a greater common purpose. Yet most in the military do not realize this, how the “real” economy is far more precarious for most workers.
