Hate on the west for "sexism" and "homophobia" and then defend muslims who are guilty of it far more
Hate Japan for "past imperialism" and then defend China who are guilty of it far more TODAY.
Hate on fiction for "problematic things" but ignore the "problematic things" in real life.
Why do these people have no sense of reality?
I understand what you mean but i do understand how they think. I was a former socialist. i do believe they are in a pseudo cult, when i came out of it I had this feeling of being "sinful " similar to how a person coming out of a religion would feel(and i was never even a full on SJW).
Yes i understand there are situations when people can fall to the same trap that you describe but generally speaking i dont think it happens as much on the right (especially not here from what i've seen) Though sometimes with people like Hunter Avalone, who was raised in a completely conservative household and never really had his views truly challenged so the moment they were , it shook him so much he turned a 180
But you remember the 5 moral foundations. Conservatives exhibit all 5 whilst leftists tend to only exhibit 2 out of 5. I do understand why they would think the right or conservatives are stupid, when they dont see certain things the right or conservatives do and only take things at face value. (and we are also well aware of how much the left likes to project)..
Though you are correct about the neolibs and neocons drinking from the same cup.
