    No… I’m afraid that’s actually what right-wing ideology exists to do - protect and expand the privilege and power of the already privileged and powerful. It has no other reason to exist.

    Since that power and privilege is always - as in, with zero exceptions - completely unjustified, it can only be based on lies and nothing else.

    That is what right-wing politics is all about. Always has been, always will be. It really is that simple.

        If you wish to remain confused about this, be my guest… but you cannot claim that nobody ever tried informing you - because somebody just did.

            You’ve basically just admitted that you don’t understand, and, more importantly, don’t want to understand, why you are being fed the propaganda you are being fed.

            I’d say it’s best that you don’t go around calling others confused, no?

              Ummm I’ve done nothing of the sort and have no idea what you’re talking about.

              I’d say it’s best you don’t go around fabricating nonsense that other people have said, no?

                Did you or did you not have a reactionary episode when somebody informed you about something you were in complete ignorance of?

                  No I did not. I think you have me confused with someone else.

                  However, several people here have had a “reactionary episode” to the idea that every single conservative isn’t a giant piece of shit, maybe it was one of them.

                    Really?

                    Right, then… right-wing narratives is always based on a pack of lies, and so is everything that emanates from it.

                    It’s not “tribalistic,” it’s just right-wing ideology working as designed - protecting and expanding privilege and power.
