cultural values you say? like rape, corruption, extreme pettiness and selfishness?
these people are in a cult. their sunk cost bias is overwhelming most of their sanity.
and of course the world is not going in the way they wish, so their conflict resolution is to write a blank check to said strongman. (and project everything on him.)
If that's what it takes to undo the moral decline of the last 30 years then so be it.
I'm sick of seeing insanity in schools, at work, and on the news everyday.
Our culture has been totally deconstructed and reversed where drag and pedophilia is celebrated, being diverse is more important than being skilled/having ability, being white is seen as tainted or somehow lesser than someone who has a diverse background. Beauty has been replaced with vulgarity and queerness.
The reversal has been a long time coming. We have had a silent majority that was too afraid to act because of the legal implications of going against powerful special interests.
> these people are in a cult
yeah and I propose that "othering" anyone is the root of a problem, in itself. Don't become the thing you hate.
Othering is bad, sure.
But shipping people out of the country without due process, into a foreign high security prison, and ignoring a court order to bring him back, is a whole lot worse.
Let’s keep our eyes on the ball.
