Right-wing values can be summarized in one word: Hierarchy.
That also happens to be the literal definition. Surprisingly few people know that the political left and right correspond to equality and hierarchy respectively.
Right and left wing are historical terms stemming from the literal left and right halves of a physical building. If you’re not referring to the revolution era french national assembly, you have to accept that since other connotations may have snuck in along the way.
Even at the time the terms came with complex meanings.
Boiling it down at any time merely to equality versus hierarchy is only something you’d do if you want to misrepresent people by oversimplification.
What I don’t understand is why is it the stupidest people getting put on that pedestal.
Stupid people like other stupid people
Because you have to be intelligent to admit you don’t know something.
Stupid and confident is a dangerous combination. Add arrogant, charismatic or attractive, and you get weaponised incompetence.
Weak people love confidence and will tolerate arrogance. Once a confident person starts observing those around them agreeing, following, defending them, they start to believe their own bullshit, and they learn through reward feedback that if they do anything with confidence and arrogance, even when they are wrong, weaker people will agree with them.
specifically, social dominators end up on top. Authoritarians put them there.
It’s really true.
The world would be better if a bunch of people could just admit they are into mental BDSM and they are subs
Religion, narcissistic family members, social media algorithms, sandwich shops… all tuned to churn out subs.
I’m only okay with one of those.
(Also you forgot shipyards, BTW.)
Stamp on my brain, master
That’s what the AI is for.
Can Claude wear stilettos?
Found Richard Dawkins’s account
Our first mistake as a nation was not kicking out the royalists.
Alexander Hamilton
Eh, I don’t think that is universally true.
There was an article about one of those “tradwife” influencers who got a divorce recently after realizing that she hated the very idea, but only after she was engulfed in the life.
Sort of? This is giving way to much logic to an emotional situation. The reason fanboys choose Musk isn’t because he has leadership or patriarchal qualities, he just has money which they think is the same thing as being smart. They can project themselves on to him and experience his wealth or veneer of expertise vicariously through a fantasy.
This still is the relationship men have with patriarchs. It’s just obfuscated by the fact that Piss-odor guy isn’t competent in the ways associated with rulership
I think your interpretation is still too cerebral. People don’t follow money because it’s money. Money has become essential to our individual survival, so success with money is essentially conquering the threats to individual survival, and I think that is why people revere him and other billionaires.
At the end of the day, we’re all shit scared of our own end, and we’ve been tricked into believing that money is our way out of that inevitability. Money is God, so those with lots of money are closer to God, if not a god themselves.
We all have our heroes that we look up to. We all think that the other’s heroes are stupid and bad and our heroes are geniuses and good.
We all get disappointed with our heroes and inevitably find out that they were stupid and bad, too. So, we stop reading, and take a nap from noon to two a.m. Then we all get up and we are all sad
We all have our heroes that we look up to.
Not all of us. You’re just projecting your own feelings.
She ain’t wrong
No kink shaming the subbies.
But their kink is kink-shaming – kink-shaming others.
Kink shame inception 😲
This, but unironically. As a sub who is anti-Trump, it becomes a bit uncomfortable when the conversation turns into “Conservatives are just subs who want to be dominated!” Yeah, okay, maybe there’s some truth to that. The problem is that there isn’t any safeword I can use on Trump.
Musk fanboys aren’t the only ones who love hierarchy. Just about everyone will agree with the phrase “someone needs to be in charge” regardless of politics.
Just about everyone will agree with the phrase “someone needs to be in charge” regardless of politics.
Anarchists:
Yes, I don’t agree with it, but almost everyone disagrees with me.
“Just about everyone”. What percentage of people are anarchists?
Thats also giving some of the women too much credit.
They are aware that they can exchange vagina for money. You say the right things, act the right way and some guy who hates the idea of his wife having more say than him will happily keep her from ever working a day in her life.
I saw an interview with a lady comparing Trump to megachurch preacher and it made perfect sense. You have these people giving their last dollars to a guy living in a mansion and flying in a private jet because that’s what god wants. They are conditioned since childhood to just accept that some people are there to exploit them and their purpose is to be exploited by them. Having leader like Trump makes perfect sense to them. It’s just conservative brain doing its usual thing.
As I heard someone else say recently, everything with conservatives is either team sports or cuck porn and it really seems that’s true.
🤫 you gonna summon them lol
I can’t wait to see their smiling face
Nah, brah. This is kinda true but kinda bullshit. Since they’re not citing shit I’m not gonna either. I’ll go vibe mode too.
People, my fellow Americans, are disillusioned because they’ve never known anything else. They don’t want anything better because they’ve never been taught that better things aren’t even imaginable at best, most likely an existential threat. We’re peak society because fuck you, the conservative elite they told us so. It’s been that way for decades, most people don’t know anything else.
We’re all a captive market because the system that was supposed to protect us has been corrupted and is complicit. It doesn’t have to be. A huge problem is it’s extremely profitable to realize this and act on the opposite side, to be evil and want to exploit everyone, especially the undereducated and marginalized.
It sucks! Talking with brainwashed fools is exhausting, but they’re victims like the rest of us, and we should be working on inroads instead of division. Cut your losses for some, sure, but a lot of people are inspired by populism in both directions. We need to leverage that now.
Talk to your neighbors y’all! They’re noticing the shit hitting the fan, but they’re afraid to talk about it. We’re in a lot of this shit because our representatives were too polite/cowardly/ineffective to hold abysmal conservative/fascist leaders accountable in the first place. We never convinced their voters that their so called leaders are con artists stealing their comfort of living as a result. It’s the most obvious it’s ever been now. Let’s take advantage, no?
