Sorry I was referring to the second part of your comment.

Even if you happen to be in majority with your progressive views, in this instance, there is no guarantee for that generally, especially if we consider the entire global populace.. is what I was trying to point out.

I'd argue 7 billion people can find common ground on what you'd consider "quality of life" for everyone.

That seems counterfactual to me, but that's just my opinion.
