This is the concentrated nub of the matter. There are very few lefties, if any, who can remain friendly and cordial with anyone who disagrees with them on the small and narrow orthodoxies of korrekt think.
It is fascinating and a minor mystery to me not that people believe certain obviously stupid ideas but that they tenaciously cling to them like barnacles for the sake of the good the opinion of others who also believe the same idiocies.
It is a bit like adolescents for whom there is a period when the most important thing in the world is what the
right people think of them and being on their wrong side about trivialities in preferences for fashion or music is utterly soul crushing. Most adolescents grow out of such psychological swamps.
Normal people, on the other hand, delight in discovering other views, other arguments, reasoning, other ways of seeing the world and people. They want to know the why THAT way of seeing might be a corrective to their own - or if not, why. Importantly, they judge moral worth on interpersonal qualities, not on the voicing of political dogmas on political ephemera. They have larger horizons, larger views, larger souls and so are open to revising and adjusting their ideas when an improvement is presented to them.
excellent post.
a lot of people of the right (farmers, business people, tradies, the military, the police) HAVE to develop resilience and self reliance.
so they get to find out who they are and are comfortable in their own skin.
a lot of people of the left (uni intellectuals, teachers, public servants, the unemployed and the welfare dependant) probably understand they dont have the personality traits to stand alone. they feel shakey in their core confidence and they externalise their validation.
the left feel unsafe on their own.
people pleasing, pandering to mobs, supplicating to angry constituents, oiling the squeaky wheel,
piling on when they have a mutual enemy, always talking about safety , detecting micro aggressions, bowing to an authority figure
always talking about disability instead of striving to help the excellent fly higher
always wanting diversity and equity , so no one has to feel a negative emotion
offering counselling when ever something bad happens
trigger warnings
a celebration of the frail and the feeble (look at who they chose to lead the free world )
all these behaviours are understandable when you understand the basic pyschology of the adult infant
