I just don’t get it. Every time a right wing government people get fucked and more fucked. Arguably even with left governments, but brexit / trump / bosonaro level fucked it’s is hard to achieve…
And people still vote for these train wrecks…
What am I missing? What do I need to do get it? Lower my iq seems to be a possible answer, but I’m really struggling to see it
Way easier to be “against X, Y and Z” than to actually build/fix something. They’ll just find other bogeymen and the worse the things get, the more tempting being against these bogeymen will look like to the voters.
This. It’s like people who play victim. Playing the victim is easy. Nothing is ever asked of victims, nothing is expected or demanded of them, they bear no responsibility to fix the problem or problems, they are never at fault. But, the flaw of victimhood politics is this:
Stan Lee once said,
With great power, comes great responsibility.
Let us consider, that perhaps the statement also makes sense inverted. So, read it like this.
With great responsibility, comes great power.
Now, remember how I said victims bear no responsibility? That means they bear no power. No power but the power they are given.
I have theory might be crazy but what the hell. Think about some phrasing. We tell people when they do something good they do the RIGHT thing. Majority of humans are RIGHT handed.
Everything good is gear towards the going RIGHT. We even record advanments like time, and progress as moving to the RIGHT.
Here in America our calendar move to the RIGHT.
So maybe that might be why we keep moving RIGHT politically even though that is a horrible thing.
It might not verbally match with all languages (“doing the right thing” especially), but it still has some merit. I think left and right wing translate pretty well into other languages and ‘right’ generally is considered moving as forward moving while left is going back. This psychology trick is often used in movies and video games. You can even consider reading, progress bars and a lot of other things ‘moving’ to the right

My solution is to block all that content on routers and using a Raspberry Pi. I will even offer my services to hospitals and nursing homes.

Because anything to the LEFT is seen as bad.
You’re on to something here.
It’s a sinister plot.
Heh I get it
This don’t apply to all languages

Then there’s right to left languages 🤷
The only answer is UP
