NOT A HAPPY CAMPER

[Dragonfli]

28. Sadly, I have to agree, there is a large contingent in this party that have traded both their own

reasoning and even their very souls for the easy comfort of just following whatever, wherever their chosen Alpha male leads them.

If they were told by their primate "leader" to eat the children of their political enemies, I have no doubt some would dash infants upon the ground and obediently sup on misery.

It is easy and comforting apparently to not have to think or feel for one's self, to have your thinking and your passions supplied to you by one you feel is stronger. It is so..... Cro Magnon...

Also more than a little creepy, but we are after all living on the planet of the apes, little has really changed beside the loss of some external hair.


Now I am very deeply and profoundly depressed.
There never was anything I could have typed that would have reached the mind or soul of that poster was there?

Why do I keep thinking I can reach them with reason or a call to decency? Am I just incredibly stupid?

I think I need to reread "Conservatives Without Conscience", John Dean had some really good insights into this phenomena as I recall. I had mistakenly pigeonholed the behavior as a quirk found only within the Conservative Republican sub-culture, rereading it with an open mind to the possibility that it is a universal problem that can effect all or most human sub-cultures (with an eye towards it being an inherent primate flaw) may help me to understand them and this behavior better.
