Bc they live in a popularity hierarchy and the people above them express the same affection, and have decided that blacks and gays are in the in-group. The lizard brain of all leftists is spending 60% of its energy trying to come up with ways to please the people above them.
Why?
Bc the strategy is to form a coalition of the highly nervous and those high on anxiety. That's about 40% of women, 10% of men, plus the minorities.
They're winning bc they're the majority. The majority gets to decide what sort of hierarchy we're playing, the rest play along not to lose.
Social strategy explains so much of everything.
It's why leftists are such idiots. The popularity hierarchy is the defining characteristic of leftist thought, it's the centerpiece in their thinking, the evolutionary feminine drive. And in popularity hierarchies whatever the person above you says is The Truth even if they said something different 5m ago.
For right wingers it's the power hierarchy. They're less groupthinky, because you don't have to agree with people above you in a power hierarchy, you just have to obey.
Then there's competence hierarchies, where truth is a matter of logic, and power if held by the best qualified. Works well in small carefully selected clicks and companies but easily degrades into a popular or power hierarchy as soon as the tribe is of some size.
Soft times promote popularity hierarchies. In hard times, people are drawn to power hierarchies. We live in soft times, this explains everything.
My prediction for the next 10 years:
The US will get increasingly more degenerate, crime will skyrocket
A depression will hit
The ideologies clergy, members of the professional managerial class (PMC) will disproportionately start to lose their jobs due to AI and the depression, and the influence of the PMC will start to diminish
Pushback against the regime by it's own now down-on-their-luck supporters (the PMC) will weaken it significantly and make it more indecisive
With more general anxiety due to the downturn and crime, the coalition of the anxious gets diluted at the same time as the PMC start infighting
A strong man will get to power promising to rid of crime and provide security
He will use the opportunity of the weakened regime to ruthlessly dismantle the bureaucracy
Exactly.
