those who feed the primitive ape brain for their own selfish purposes.
I wasn’t talking about your home grown racist. I was talking about the ones feeding that division for their own power and profit.
My point is that our ape brains have an inclination towards Us vs Them. Education and socialization combats this base instinct, but there will always be people who aim to counteract those efforts so they can easily manipulate the chimp brains for their own gain.
The Amygdaloids, you mean: the 30% or so that seems to be a human constant of fearful, somewhat self-centred, and comfortably authoritarian. Combined with the sociopaths, you get fascist behaviour.
Homo Narratus is particularly susceptible to stories that direct behaviour. Not just propaganda, but ideology. We need to justify our participation in our own oppression.
