Is this just a problem with almost anything in Modern Society? Both "options" are fucked?
Yes, because both are infested with the same thing.
Left: individual equality + welfare
Right: individual equality + military
That is an oversimplification and not to be taken to the bank, but you can see how the infestation is held in common.
That being said, joining either side and forcing it along toward a higher level of consciousness/awareness/realism would help.
Left: individual equality -> strong meritocracy (essentially, the Ron Paul method)
Right: military -> remove restrictions on meritocracy
Global warming: the real problem is a lack of trees to absorb carbon, so depopulate/anti-growth
Anti-global warming: we need to create a competing environmental program, like anti-growth/depopulation
