Sociopaths find a natural home in conservative ideology and in today’s KockBros funded TeaBaggerGOP. I haven’t met a single hardcore conservative capable of feeling compassion for any other living being, human or otherwise.
Sociopaths are evil, nasty and mean-spirited. Too bad there’s a political party that welcomes them with open arms.
Not only that, but most so-called conservatives can’t debate to save their lives, since they usually don’t actually know or understand what cultural traditions they are supposedly “conserving”. Instead they just saturate the media landscape with reactionary bullshit, such as avoiding difficult issues, and finding vague “enemies” everywhere. The very enemies who “demonstrably” threaten their strangely inexplicable ideals.
I am not pointing Papasan out in particular but a general discomfort over hearing this name has been growing on me. Aren’t we, especially in this community, past using what is either a homophobic or misogynistic joke name? Even using this now dated joke ironically against party platform homophobes seems a bit schoolyard and deprecatory to intelligent discourse.
9/1645 billionaires worldwide. Now, I’d be much happier if there were 0 billonaires, but since we seem to be stuck with them, that seems a little…disproportionate.
