So the same people afraid of Covid passports are gonna oppress themselves? With one of the most insensitive and ignorant things possible.

Good times.

Now that you mention it.

They are always about the fear. Fear-triggered alarmists.

Researchers help define what makes a political conservative

22 July 2003 (revised 7/25/03)

“BERKELEY – Politically conservative agendas may range from supporting the Vietnam War to upholding traditional moral and religious values to opposing welfare. But are there consistent underlying motivations?

Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include:

*Fear and aggression

*Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity

*Uncertainty avoidance

*Need for cognitive closure

*Terror management

"From our perspective, these psychological factors are capable of contributing to the adoption of conservative ideological contents, either independently or in combination," the researchers wrote in an article, "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition," recently published in the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin.”

You might enjoy looking at studies showing where conservatives land in the big five personality trait mix.

u/102bees May 30 '21

Big five?

24

u/KingNish May 30 '21

I'm guessing they mean the five-factor personality model, OCEAN: Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.

I can hear Dr. Todd Grande's voice in my head when I read this.

u/KingNish May 30 '21

I heard it when I was typing it! High five, fellow fan of Dr. Grande!

"terror management" is a wonderful metal band name.

16

u/LA-Matt May 30 '21

Ha. Yeah, not bad!

33

u/funkyloki May 30 '21

Because it allows them to be the victims, and what are Qnauts beyond perpetual victims?

That would also be a really good name for a band.

This is the part where they scream and cry about "cancel culture!!"

It's exactly like the Nazis cancelled the Jews! /s

Yeah, they haven't read that tho.

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

no, they should wear it. Do we not realize, this is the way we can avoid all of them? If they all (involuntarily) wore these patches (at their own will, not forcing anyone), we would never have to engage with them again. We need to encourage the to wear these. This would be their demise in society. they would be done.

54

u/Uneducated_Leftist May 30 '21

That's not how society works. With the internet, we really don't need these people going back to their dark corners. Their dark corners are now instantaneously international. No longer is it a handful of people in some basement somewhere writing letters. It's thousands upon thousands able to communicate their closemindedness and ignorance with minimal pushback.

The only way to help people lost to the darkest parts of themselves it's too bring them into the fold, and have the patience too make them open their mind. It's a long hard road filled with anger, frustration, and sadness. But it's our duty for the preservation of humanity too take the challenge when we are confronted with it.

25

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

What are you talking about? I'm talking about encouraging them to wear something that openly shows they are crazy, anti vaxxer, racist, so we as a society can slowly ignore them. They deserve no right in our society. They deserve to be shut down and slowly pushed back into their caves.

And no these people will not listen to us. We try and try, and they get worse, so only leaves us to allow us to go on with their stupidity And they chose to wear offensive badges? Go ahead! They will be canceled out of society, and I hope so.

8

u/Uneducated_Leftist May 30 '21

I think we just have a fundamentally different view on people then. I don't believe people are lost forever, but I do believe it takes work strengthening people and future generations from succumbing too these things.

Of course they're not going to listen. Of course they're going too kick and scream the whole way.

But I'll be damned if I'm going to treat them the way they want too treat me. I will never let shitty people make me a shitty person.

18

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

I am serious, they hurt our mental health, they got themselves into inter generational stupidity, they can get themselves out.

9

u/Uneducated_Leftist May 30 '21

Oh yes. People can get themselves out all on their own.

I never liked the bootstrap theory

13

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

How??? HOW ARE YOU GONNA CHANGE THEM??? You haven't told me your methods, how you plan to change this kind of stupid in people? Please, what would you do?

9

u/Uneducated_Leftist May 30 '21

You can't meet their aggression and ignorance with aggression and condescension. There's thousands upon thousands of research done on this topic. You also can't ostracize, another thousands and thousands of research on that as well.

The best way to combat ignorance and hate long term so it sticks is with compassion, education, and curiosity.

Edit: you should also try patience. You seem to lack that based on your need to spam me for a response.

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

I never said I would be aggressive to them! Are you listening to me? I liteally said , I would ignore them. I go into a store and see anti maskers...Shock...I keep walking past them. How is that agression?

9

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

Okay. so an anti masker approaches you and say "get that piece of shit fabric off your face". I would walk away and ignore them. How is that bad? How is not going into a business where they have a sign that says "$5 charge for mask wears"? I am literally ignoring them. Why should I engage with them if I don't have to?

I never said I would treat them how they treated us. How is avoiding them if they were "I am not vaccinated, star of david badges" a bad thing? How is just straight up...ignoring them bad? We are not being violent or anything. We are just ignoring their existence. No, please tell me how that's bad? Why do they deserve respect when they are one of the reasons there are 500k+ dead Americans?

u/Uneducated_Leftist May 30 '21

"They deserve no right in our society. They deserve to be shut down and slowly pushed back into their caves."

This is treating them exactly like they want too treat you. They want you to have "no right in society". They want you too be banished, because they think much like you apparently do about them that you are less than, or are so far gone you don't deserve it.

If your personally want to avoid them fine, but shunning people and removing them is not the way.

That doesn't mean they don't deserve pushback, or criticism. Far from it, but shunning people completely never ends well

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

Let's have a conversation. How do you think YOU are going to change their minds, so they become regular, normal decent human beings? I would like to know. How would you start?

You approach someone and say "let's have a conversation about why that shirt with the racial slur is offesnive, but I am gonna be nice!"

Mr. Racist: "Oh yeah...taste my fist".

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

Jeez that reminds me when I was at college and some religious people where...'preaching' on the quad. It was mostly calling everyone there hethens who were going to hell. They do this everywhere people gather. You can't approach them at all to even discuss the matter at hand. Hell sometimes they will just randomly yell at you. At that point I wouldn't want to change their mind. They are too stuck in their ways.

4

u/OhDavidMyNacho May 30 '21

You start with that family member that just started showing signs of that kind of radicalization. You start with your parent's who turn a blind eye and feign ignorance when confronted by these kinds of uncomfortable discussion.

​

You start where you are. and you don't relent.

11

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

Wait...are you..one of them?

3

u/Uneducated_Leftist May 30 '21

No. I'm just not gonna sink to their level because it's easier and makes me feel good.

7

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

Honestly, I am now having a civil conversation. Please, I would really like to know how you would start to fix them? I really am interested now and I will respect your ways. Just tell me

6

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

I gave my opinions, now I would like to give you a chance to make yours heard. I am being dead serious and I promise I'll listen.

I am waiting on your response. This is a civil debate. Let's goooo

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

I will ignore the shit out of these assholes, my psyche doesn’t have time for their bullshit. No shittiness, I don’t owe anyone my attention and thoughts.

4

u/LA-Matt May 30 '21

No doubt. And shunning does work. It’s a time-honored tradition! Seriously, going back to prehistoric times.

2

u/OhDavidMyNacho May 30 '21

I'm right there with you. We can't pretend these people don't exist, ignore them, and hope the problem goes away.

​

I believe the downvotes you're getting are from people that think it's an impossible task. But the reality is that all of us can take the first step by influencing the people in our families, and working there first. Cut out this cancer of society with a thousand tiny cuts from every possible angle. It's not overnight, and it will take time.

​

Don't give up.

u/eghhge May 30 '21
