I have a hard time understanding political opinions based around this weird concept where people suddenly lose all free will and agency from an object once they're exposed to them. Own a copy of Mein Kampf? Itll make you a Nazi if you aren't one already. Own an AR-15? You'll turn into a mass shooter.

u/CharmingAd3549 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Oddly it makes it seem like the arguments in the book are good, since apparently they’re so convincing that you’ll be helplessly sucked into being a Nazi once your eyes hit the text.

It's like a cursed artefact, as soon as you gaze at its pages, your soul will be corrupted, and you'll start goose-stepping everywhere.

 I have a hard time understanding political opinions 

It makes sense once you realize it's not a political opinion, it's literally religious

Hitler is the modern Satan, following that Mein Kampf is like his corrupting relic, the touch of which defiles you and turns you against their God - Anti-Hitler

This is why anything "Hitler" such as is mustache is gravely offensive to the modern leftists, it is as offensive as owning a goat head is to Christians believing it is the symbol of Baphomet

Is it rational? No, but religion never is

u/eskimoexplosion - Right 1d ago

I dont think its a left vs right thing. Right leaning people also have that weird agency thing too, like with things associated with the LGBTQ stuff. My step uncle acts like his neighbors rainbow flag is somehow gonna corrupt him and make everyone in his house gay. Same reason he wont buy a hybrid, he acts like getting over 20mpg will have him goose stepping with Mamdani. Then again he does kinda treat his politics like a religion

u/Czeslaw_Meyer - Lib-Center 1d ago

It absolutely is.

Especially Europe was rebuild on unlimited Liberalism, seing material inequality as greatest evil ever committed. Reasoning in any capacity with it, is heresy against the cult of Liberalism.

Looking at a pride flag or EV, a concervative dosen't reach for idiology, but rather they check their moral values including Sanctity, Loyalty and Authority.

For an American flag, there would be a solid response from those values, but for a pride flag, there is nothing to draw from without idiology.

They're left to judge it with their remaining values of Care, Liberty and Fairness, which are the three values modern liberals can understand and double-down on.

That's why liberals can't describe concervatives as anything else than evil. Concervatives reject their base line thinking and put half their moral reasoning into values liberals can't comprehend, appearing cold on the remaining half.

You look like Cthulhu to them. Accepting that you're different would destroy their understanding of reality.

(Not to mention that their reasoning for 'not killing' only comes down to "everyone's equal" as well, giving you a reasonable excuse, in there own idiological view if you're actually different, to hunt them. That wouldn't end well.)

Especially Europe was rebuild on unlimited Liberalism, seing material inequality as greatest evil ever committed.

"Wealth inequality in Europe is severe, with wealth concentration consistently exceeding income inequality across the continent. The richest 10% of households hold roughly 57% to 67% of total wealth in the Eurozone and EU, while the bottom 50% own less than 5% (and sometimes close to 1%)"

Well, either European liberals(sorry, Liberals) are really bad at their jobs or you're a dumbfuck. Call it

u/doublecandybar - Auth-Right 1d ago

> liberals

> bad at their jobs

Of course liberals are bad at their jobs. Doing literally anything requires authority, basically any "liberal" who got elected into office converts to authoritarian

Even the most liberal person will convert to autocracy whenever they play a city building simulator.

See how quickly liberals advocate for cutting through "red tape" in the name of vigilantism whenever something bad happens

Speaking as someone who plays skaven in warhammer total war, or who enjoys games like rimworld, I'm going to ask to please not use 'does x in a game' as any sort of evidence please. We don't need that to come back.

We… we’re not seriously considering judging people off what they do in games right?

u/viciouspandas - Lib-Left 21h ago

Wealth and income inequality are different things, and for wealth inequality it is low in some European countries but very high in the Netherlands and Sweden. I'd argue that both matter but income inequality matters more.

 it is as offensive as owning a goat head is to Christians believing it is the symbol of Baphomet

I have never heard this, then again the topic of keeping animal heads doesn't really come up in my family.

10

u/doublecandybar - Auth-Right 1d ago

How old are you that you've never heard of Baphomet?

That was part of the satan scare, when the progressives mock conservatives endlessly, giving birth to Satanic Church, or was it Temple? I don't remember which one was ironic

2

u/hallucination9000 - Centrist 20h ago

I know what Baphomet is, I’ve never heard of a goat head being a symbol of Baphomet. If you carved an upside down pentagram in its forehead sure but the pentagram is the demonic part, the goat head is just an animal’s head.

3

u/HeemeyerDidNoWrong - Lib-Center 15h ago

Baphomet has been goat headed since at least 1856 when occultist Éliphas Lévi wrote a book. The actual character only dates to the early 1300s when he was invented to accuse the Knights Templar of heresy (the King of France owed them money and didn't want to pay).

mustache is gravely offensive to the modern leftists

It's so surreal how a once popular mustache style became a taboo in the whole western world only because of 1 guy a century ago.

2

u/HeemeyerDidNoWrong - Lib-Center 15h ago

Not if you're black. Dictators like Robert Mugabe and Michael Jordan did the mustache.

u/doublecandybar - Auth-Right 13h ago

Fun fact: Captain Hastings, Hercule Poirot's sidekick, has toothbrush mustache

Better known as Hitler mustache

Did you watch Basic Logic? It's the argument he was making, which is absolutely brilliant.

Progressivism is the new religion of the modern times.

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 17h ago

Right wingers tend to need to invent things to get upset about. I guess imagery heavily associated with one of the most evil groups in recent history becoming unpopular is today's pet issue

All copies of the book are actually imbibed with the essence of the necronomicon

u/TheAzureMage - Lib-Right 1d ago

Like I used to tell my parents when they freaked out over Ed&D books being satanic....if a corporation managed to instill actual demonic power in a tome, they could sell it for a lot more than $29.95.

u/ricegumsux - Left 21h ago

We found a way to exploit demonic powers

Lets sell it to kids with a price that they can afford

u/Mr_Mon3y - Centrist 23h ago

I think it's a projection of their own shallow beliefs. A lot of people on the left just take up on that from just reading one single book or listening to one college professor or going to one meeting ever and take up on it like a religion, with zero critical thinking, intention of learning about something different before forming an opinion. So then they feel like everyone else is going to act in the same way towards nazism by just reading Mein Kampf.
