      It’s both. They actually feared all of that, we all do. Financial insecurity, because we tied it to our survival, healthcare, shelter, food, etc, is scary. They used racism and bigotry as a simple, incorrect solution to complex problems. Both can be true at the same time.

      I’ve learned that many of these people simply can’t deal with ambiguity or complexity. If they don’t have an answer it breaks their minds. Hence why they’re so bigoted towards the LGBTQ community. If someone doesn’t fit in their predetermined boxes, even if it doesn’t affect their lives, there must be an answer and they must fit them in a box.

      They then hide behind calling it common sense and other things, trying to simplify complex problems with incorrect and bigoted thinking.

        Yeah but the stuff they complain about isn’t what they care about. They hate existing in a context. They crave death. They’re mad at how fucking stupid they are and they’re too stupid to articulate that.

          Yeah, fair enough. Most of it is projection too. They are taught to hate and they hate themselves so much because they can’t live authentically and so they drag everybody else down.

          Conservatives would be some of the kinkiest mfers if they didn’t hate themselves so much.

            Why killing Nazis isn’t an ethical dilemma. Its not that it needs to be done so badly, though it does. Its because you have the closest they can give to their consent.
