    I am reasonably sure that a fair many conservatives feel that they are entitled to their biases and fallacies and the world must bend to these biases.

      It’s deeper than that, they literally believe they can change objective reality by believing hard enough.

      That’s why they excuse all of their bad acts, if they ignore it, it doesn’t exist to them.

      Negative object permanence.

        I think you are right. I believe it is somehow related their obsessive belief in their religion.

        I am not saying that all religious people are bad. But, somehow, these people excuse their bad behaviour by quoting scriptures. There has to a correlation too.

          No, their religion is a paper thin pretext. They don’t actually do anything the Bible says to do, and they do a FUCKTONNE of what the Bible explicitly prohibits.

          And I’m so tired as a progressive Christian of these cuntservative evangelicals convincing all of the internet that any theist is a mouth foaming bigot.

          You can, and they’re useful, and tulpa is a stupid fucking name. There I said it.

          The only thing about them is that they are really only useful for organizing parts of yourself that you are not consciously aware of. You can’t manifest a slenderman IRL but you can make a mind palace and vastly improve your memory, or go on spirit journeys and learn how to forgive.

          It’s all in your head but that doesn’t make it any less real.

          Currency and democracy are ideas made manifest, and all they are is shared ideas in our heads.

            What’s the point of using my mind to create something internal? It would be better if I could just twist reality with a thought. Smh.

              It’s complicated and if I fully explain it to you, it won’t work as well for you.

              Google ‘mind palace’ and start playing with the practice. It’s really just a fun imagination game that can actually improve your memory drastically.

                I’ll just look for a chaos magic grimoire at this point

                  Yeah ok but there’s a difference between being a chunibyo and wanting to organize your thinking.
