Differences

Something Southern Man has thought about for a while are the essential differences between, say, conservatives and liberals, and between men and women, and the values of the so-called "manosphere" and society in general. So inspired by this post by Captain Capitalism and others (links when Southern Man finds them again) we have a couple of lists of more or less opposite concepts or terms or ideas...

Column 1	Column 2
Dependence	Independence
Communal Effort	Independent Effort
Equal Outcomes	Equal Opportunities
Conformity	Nonconformity
Others Before Self	Self Before Others
Socialism	Capitalism
Large Government	Small Government
Trust in government	Distrust of government
Security over Freedom	Freedom over Security
Democracy	Meritocracy
Consensus	Hierarchy
Public Sector	Private Sector
Public Property	Private Property
Top-Down Solutions	Bottom-Up Solutions
Regulated Markets	Free Markets
Higher Taxes	Higher Profits
Participation	Competition
Consumption	Production
Solar Energy	Nuclear Energy
Feelings are important	Facts are important
Consider Individual Situations	Same Rule Of Law For All
Appeasement	Confrontation
Humanities	Science
Talent	Education
Words	Numbers
Macintosh	Windows
Truth is Relative	Truth is Absolute
Beauty Is Relative	Beauty Is Absolute
Leisure	Work
Relaxed	Disciplined
Talk	Text
Faith	Works
Words	Actions
Love	Respect
Shopping	Buying
Spending	Saving
Indoors	Outdoors
Cars	Motorcycles
Cats	Dogs

...and it is Southern Man's bet that you will tend to prefer, to a statistically significant degree, the ideas on one side of the list over the other. He will also bet that words that you didn't choose in your favored list are uncomfortably close to the truty. What this means, or whether it means anything at all, is up to you.
