The Death Penalty.
The left opposes the death penalty on ethical grounds, insisting that no crime warrants such an irreversible punishment. Yet, in recent years, some far-left voices have glorified revolutionary violence as a tool for change. Conservatives, by contrast, argue that certain atrocities demand the ultimate penalty, viewing justice as inseparable from retribution. Their opponents, however, criticize this stance as a Christian contridiction. This clash of principles exposes an uneasy paradox: calls for compassion can coexist with the allure of violent upheaval.
Saving vs Investing

National Borders.
For many on the left, the idea of dissolving national borders is not just a dream but a moral imperative, with global institutions prepared to dictate the fate of entire continents from distant boardrooms. Meanwhile, conservatives see this as nothing less than an existential threat, warning that unchecked immigration and international authority are erasing the very cultures and freedoms that define a nation.

The Purpose of Art.
From banana installations and invisible sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces, art today is a clash of radical innovation and timeless tradition.
