Rep. Jamie Raskin Warns That The GOP Is Acting Like A Religious Cult

34. it's part of a world-wide authoritarian masturbation cult that is now also suicidal with global

warming and covid.

one theory suggests greed and the fear of uncertainty/need for certainty that drives authoritarianism is caused or amplified by right handed masturbation, which associates impatient satisfaction-demanding reproductive impulses with parts of the brain (left hemisphere) often associated with functions like mathematics and logic.

the theory suggests that there was some survival value in sex on the wrong brain in times of conflict and eventually humans evolved from about 50-50 right and left handed to 90% RH now. as populations densities increased so did conflict and societies began to select for sowb symptoms more and more. in the last few thousand years it got increasingly worse in old world 'civilizations' thanks to sexual repression and frustration increased by authoritarian social and value structures.

democratic forms of organization evolved to regulate and limit sex on the wrong brain symptoms like greed and authoritarianism. the last 30 years here we have regressed mainly because rw radio and fox have been used successfully to short circuit the feedback mechanisms a healthy democracy needs. that has harmed democracy all over the world.

in propaganda, rw radio is perfect for selling lies because the i'm-never-wrong-royal certitude leaders like limbaugh were never challenged in real time and for authoritarians certainty is more import than truth. issues like global warming and covid can be painted with uncertainty/fear until the certainty of denial of the problem becomes comforting and satisfying. 'market forces' solve everything and help avoid the complexities that bring stressful uncertainties.

trumpers, taliban, nazis, proud boys, and now Republican Party are masturbation cults made up largely of a small minorities of people from mostly 'old world' gene pools that have been separated from nature and have been selecting for sex on the wrong brain symptoms for centuries in Europe and parts of north africa and asia.

COVID has increased the chaos and fear that makes the royal certitude of their leaders more appealing and comforting.

the greed, suspicion, lack of empathy, absolutism, and fear may have sowb survival value in the absence of democratic cooperation, imagination, and fairness in rough times but today with global warming and covid the denial of reality needed to create and accept non-existent certainty and ease the fear of uncertainty really is suicidal.
