Cthulhu always swims left isn't an observation that on every single issue society will settle on the left's preferences, but that the general trend is leftward
Dropping the "always" might lead to less confusion on this point.
I only used "Cthulhu always swims left" because that is how army1987 termed it. Moldbug says "Cthulhu may swim slowly. But he only swims left."
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
