Survey: ‘Tolerant’ Liberals More Likely Than Conservatives To Ditch Friends Over Politics

I've pretty much written off any liberal. No fucks given. They're a danger to my family

Its because we understand that they are unenlightened. Many of those liberals will have a waling up moment where they come into the fold of conservatism.


We drop little things into daily conversation that they can think about and realize that they are brainwashed. Little seeds.

Not all of them come around but many do.


They usually go from liberal democrat -> libertarian -> republican.

Not all of them come around, but many do.

Any liberal friends or family you have who voted for Gropin' Joe Biden voted AGAINST AMERICA, and are not allowed to complain about ANYTHING EVER AGAIN!

...and in other news, the sky, she is blue!!

I've never seen a leftist go libertarian. Libertarianism requires far too much thought.

Good.

Because they hate anyone who doesnt think like them.

I'm a proud, educated conservative and I cut every single Leftist DemonRat out of my life including friends & relatives. They're all hopelessly brainwashed & ignorant. Impervious to logic & reason.

Not surprising.

If you ditch the old Left-Right political spectrum with communists on one end and fascists on the other it makes sense. What is the difference between international socialism and national socialism or ownership of corporations by the state verses the state directing corporations? Very little.

Think about the political spectrum like this: Anarchism to Totalitarianism. Then you put add these to the middle.

Anarchists - Libertarians - Classical Liberals - Socialists - Totalitarians.

Totalitarians include both fascists and communists.

So, the more Liberal you are the more totalitarian you are. And to be more totalitarian, the individual needs to think less for themselves and relies on the group think and consensus. So, obviously will ditch friends that don't go along with the group.

Here is another weird difference:

Bleeding Heart Tightwads

Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous government spending to help the neediest people at home and abroad. Yet when it comes to individual contributions to charitable causes, liberals are cheapskates.

“When I started doing research on charity,” Mr. Brooks wrote, “I expected to find that political liberals — who, I believed, genuinely cared more about others than conservatives did — would turn out to be the most privately charitable people. So when my early findings led me to the opposite conclusion, I assumed I had made some sort of technical error. I re-ran analyses. I got new data. Nothing worked. In the end, I had no option but to change my views.”

And that is not a one-off study, Jonathan Haidt about it here:



So, there are a lot of advantages to belonging to the group: you don't need to think for yourself or act... because the group takes care of it all.

And anyone who challenges that is a threat to a person's psychological wellbeing, thus they need to be excluded. IMHO
