Yet, driven by the philosophical notion that one should strive to understand those they disagree with, I eventually began engaging in discussions with them. I started noticing them in grocery stores, flipping through the pages of Time Magazine. I began browsing those same magazines myself, specifically to attempt to decipher the inner workings of their minds. After some time, however, my perception shifted; I no longer see them as mere political opponents, but rather primarily as mentally ill individuals.🎉🎉
During my debates with these types, I’ve been met with truly staggering claims regarding the former state—claims that, through extensive reading and dialogue with others, I have confirmed have absolutely zero connection to reality. This spans everything from the starvation crises of the 70s and 80s to the concentration camps used against Americans.☕ In that same Time Magazine, I actually read a claim that Milorad Pupovac is orchestrating a genocide against Americans in coordination with the cultural organization "Prosvjeta"🤦—a genocide supposedly funded by tax dollars from the American federal budget.🤣
Let’s step outside our beautiful...
Back in 1996, a certain American right-winger bombed a government building in Oklahoma City because he was convinced the administration was plotting a coup against the American people.🤦
Across the Atlantic Ocean, a right-winger committed an even more heinous act—I am, of course, referring to Andreas Breivik. That maniac slaughtered about 60 people, mostly very young individuals, all because he believed he was protecting Norway from Islamic terrorists.🤦
Speaking of Islamic terrorists, while they stem from a different cultural sphere, from where I sit, they seem to fall under the umbrella of extreme right-wing ideology.
Take Poland, for instance; they were once led by those two idiot twin brothers, one of whom died in a plane crash. One of those twin idiots, leading the nation at the time, was traveling to commemorate crimes in the Katyn Forest. They were supposed to land at the airport in Smolensk, but air traffic control diverted them toward Minsk due to heavy fog over Smolensk. But that was when right-wing paranoia kicked in; the paranoid leader convinced himself the fog was a Russian conspiracy and ordered the landing, which resulted in his death and the deaths of everyone else on that plane.
Right-wingers believe the Earth is flat—hollow, or whatever version of that nonsense—they believe vaccines are a deliberate way to spread autism, they believe in chemtrails, and they sink into all sorts of other idiocy.
It is fascinating how some people drift toward the right as they age; it seems that as the body and mind decay, people gravitate toward right-wing waters. In America, we have examples like Franjo Harmon and Zdravko Tomac. The case of Franjo Harmon is particularly interesting because of his brain tumor; one could argue the tumor itself caused his shift toward the extreme right.🤔
The ultimate point I am making is that membership in right-wing groups and parties should be classified as a mental disorder, and consequently, such individuals should be barred from participating in elections. It would be somewhat similar to what happened with homosexuality, which was once categorized as a mental illness.
I don't necessarily see them as mentally ill—they're just regular people to me—but I do see them as malicious. It stems from their core belief that they can purge certain groups—based on race, nationality, religion, or even gender—from specific territories or even off the face of the Earth, simply because they think they're "superior."🙄 They'll use any means necessary to get there, often advocating for, or outright using, violence and destructive tactics. Personally, I find that entire mindset terrifying and completely unacceptable.😠
The right wing believes in a flat earth—hollow, maybe?—thinks vaccines are a plot to spread autism, obsesses over chemtrails, and falls for all sorts of other nonsense.
To me, what they believe isn't the issue—it's when they try to "disprove" scientific facts with their delusions and then attempt to force those delusions on everyone else as "law," all while tearing others down in the process.🙄👎
It's interesting how some people drift toward the right as they age—as if the decline of the body and mind pulls them toward conservatism. In America, we have examples like Franjo Harmon and Zdravko Tomac; the case of Franjo Harmon is particularly curious given his brain tumor, which supposedly pushed him toward the extreme right.🤔
Generally speaking, people tend to become more conservative as they age because they lose flexibility—it's just a biological reality most of the time. But America seems to be an outlier here, as several polls suggest younger generations are actually more conservative than their parents. One could certainly place a bet on why that is.😁
The whole point would be to just label being part of any right-wing group or party as a mental disorder—and then, naturally, bar them from voting altogether. It’s kind of like how homosexuality used to be treated before it was declassified as a disorder.
Of course, that wouldn't be right, and I'm definitely not advocating for it—mostly because that’s exactly what those same right-wingers do anyway: they try to strip dissenters of their right to vote or just ignore human rights entirely. Doing that would just make us look exactly like them.😢
