I was talking with my step-brother (far-left tech IPO in NYC) the other day about cooking and something he mentioned caught me by surprise. He was talking about cooking and how this new channel had picked up a bunch of chefs who were racially discriminated against by Delish? and we’re getting paid far less than their peers. So they switched over and made their own program that had been doing well. The baseline of this is of course that is good because if they can do better elsewhere they should. However what struck me as odd is that the accused channel is far left, in fact it would be hard to find any large cooking channel that isn’t pro whatever wokeness is currently on display.
This discussion triggered a realization in the mentality of the far-left, their projection on who they view as lessers (conservatives) is not directed by the actions of conservatives but by the actions of who they consider similar. So if a far left supporting business is caught having rampant racism or sexism their immediate reaction is how much worse conservatives must be. This is amplified by the fact that liberals often do not understand why conservatives value what they value, they only understand what they are told they value by other liberals.
When I wrote this it was more on the mindset of the standard leftist voter/believer. We have troves of documentation that show the minds behind these movements are pushing them to destabilize our current government system. The average liberal believes that because even they have racist thoughts the other side must be far worse. This is, at least in my opinion, due to the extreme insulation mentality that collective thought occurs in. If a woke white person has “racist” thoughts, and they are told by x group they associate with that the conservative way of life is causing systemic injustices then it is natural they view that lifestyle as lesser.
Yeah, I'd basically agree with all of that.
