38. their entire morality

Thu Aug 10, 2017, 08:29 PM

Aug 2017

Their entire morality / belief system is based on power and authority. This is heir blind spot - they cannot fathom a world view where caring, nurturing, science, nuance etc is more efficient / better so they outright reject it as an argument.

Everything they give trump a pass on boils down to that he's (in their mind) an alpha monkey and they're willing to give their bananas to him.

edit to add they base their beliefs on the TRAPPINGS of power / authority. The peacock feathers, gilded gold, chest thumping, etc
