Lawrence Kohlberg’s theory of moral development comes to mind for me. A lot of people get stuck at authority or social contract. It requires deeper levels of thought and consideration to expand your circle of care.
It’s almost like Musk, Trump, Bannon, and other MAGAts are all genuinely bad people. Someone had a term for them at one point, pourables or something…?
It was entirely accurate and later polls even showed that was so, but, even today, the Elevated Centrists and the Tone Police will come out of the woodwork to scold both Hillary and anyone else that points out similar accurate things about the qons.
Lol, I remember reading your comment from 10 years ago. Grave sadness is an understatement now. It’s delightful though that we’re witnessing the rhetoric as internal bickering amongst these power-hungry fucks at least. Yum yum.
Hey, thanks friendo. I abandoned my Reddit account for Lemmy’s pastures. Much slower over here, but corporations are ruining everything…
I do hope the infighting causes inefficiency and inability to make good on some of these promises. What appears to be coming is a rapid nose dive for the US, both economically and socially. A crippled middle class is easier to control, especially if they corrupt UBI or something to save themselves (see Captain Laserhawk).
Democrats are far from perfect at the moment, but at least there’s a semblance of importance for education, diversity, democracy—people like Vance or Elon promoting “Dark Enlightenment” is the type of philosophical thinking that could absolutely destroy us.
I hate holding out for the mortality of humans, but some people truly bring pain and suffering at scale to this plane of existence. It all seemed so hopeful not long ago.
I’ve been reading the Bible if only to quote this stuff before I’m hauled off as some sort of corrupting bisexual philosopher who votes socialist. I wish these people believed in what they feign to read…
I was commenting on how trite your original comment was, but welcome to Lemmy. And don’t let Vance discourage you from embracing your bisexual philosophical socialism. I support you.
This kind of rhetoric is abhorrent in the public sphere. It’s a further erosion of social norms and expectations of leaders in society.
This election, unfortunately, validated these behaviors as acceptable. It makes me gravely sad for the US.
This is what happens when a person’s development is arrested in middle school and they go on to get billion dollar windfalls.

Excoriables?
Expendables!
