It's all about the financial aspect. These people tend to be wealthier and very anti-tax. They hope to be one of the "good ones" that are tokenized in the party.

He hoped that he would be one of the "good ones" in their eyes. He's in it for the economic policy more than anything.

This is seriously the most Texas thing ever.

I actually don't think that they are particularly stupid. I think that most people can't overcome the urge to have and keep for themselves. It's all very much ape behavior and it pervades all the nasty that humans are capable of.

I'm not saying that people or better or worse. I just think that some let the internal animal out and others keep it in the cage. I do, however, believe that everyone should strive for that.

In my experience and observation, he works best on those who don't have their own sense of identity because they just picked up whatever mantle was expected of them from society and moved on without a second thought. These people ultimately realize that they and their lives are meaningless and work to fill that void. Someone like Peterson can attempt to fill that empty spot, though ultimately it'll fail.

I feel that the Elon lovers go through similar when he says something that finally pierces the vail.

Sadly, I am a victim of this same thing. I quite Facebook because family members would bring their friends to attack me on my wall because I happened to post an article they didn't like. It was constant and daily. I eventually gave up and really don't ever see those people anymore.

My take is that this has revealed who amongst us is still ruled by their ape nature and who can notice that it's weird to do that and try not to. Those who use only the monkey brain will fall into these traps every time. It really goes to show you just how primitive our species still is.

Sadly, the moment people try, it’s no longer communism. The entire populace would need to see the world differently than they do now.

Thanks, that take makes sense. Now I wonder if that is the base from which many are operating?

This is why I don't participate in Pride. It's all corporate bullshit.

I still don't get what you really want to argue for, though. Is it just to not participate until better candidates come around?

And, having in excess of 15 comments insulting my person in one thread is being brigaded.

Here's the thing. There's a big brigade thing going on right now where I'm apparently the worst human who's ever lived for asking a question. But, one thing that nobody seems to be able to do is tell me what the alternative is to voting Biden. Nobody can answer that question--it's just "you're stupid because Biden" and that's the end of it. So, I'm really asking--what is the proposed alternative action?

Yes. Why are you acting like a Republican?

Copy pasta. Got it, you’re a troll and are now blocked.

And millennials are dinosaurs compared to Gen Z.

It has and you’re right that some people will take up the cause. Millennials and especially Gen Z really look at the world differently and few will pick up this mantel.

By voting for Biden I’m a tool of Trump and Putin. Riiiiight.

I don’t tend to let people insult me then attempt to influence me. Learn a little about the art of persuasion and try again. Also, get a grip. This isn’t Facebook or Reddit. Try not to act like those people.

I'm all about it, but it also explains why I have seen so many references.
