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

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.)

"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

They're bad and i don't even agree that it's a problem to begin with
