You think you actually know, but you don't.
If that makes you feel better.
It's obviously clear about that when all you can say is it's toxic
Toxic is my go to. I could explain in detail why far right ideas are bad, but you would not listen or maybe don't understand. But when I say "its toxic", you understand and you try to say that is not the case or that I'm ignorant. This means that what I say actually as an impact and an effect.
The next step is for you to ask why its toxic, and I might developp. But I won't do that meaninglessly, I would only lose time. If you want a bit of explanations, I've created a library where everything is pretty much explained. From anti-capitalism, through feminism to antiracism and antifascism, you should have enough - if you are open minded - to understand my thinking.
Until you do that, I'll keep the term "toxic".
You talk about it with only Negatives etc. If you were objective you could see the many, actual, benefits and positives instead.
There is
ABSOLUTELY NO benefits and positives in far right or conservative ideologies, because w
hen we are on the far right of the political spectrum:
<<- We are stuck in a constant state of fear of the unknown and change which is demoralizing
- We don't understand feminism so we can't understand how healthy relationship with women work (even if we think we do, we don't)
- We are stuck in defending a system that is oppressing the working class and the only explanation we have can only put us toward the path of hating or looking with contempt people in misery (look at what is doing Herrera) EVEN when we are part of the working class ourself, which mean that we are in a loop of hate against ourself, and hate against governements and we can't help but legitimate the capitalistic system that is oppressing us.
- We are in a constant state of contradiction and we are always trying to adjust our thoughts, but since it depends of the context, we always contradict ourselfs
- We are stuck in a constant circle of fear and hate in front of people that are outside the heteronormative norms. We don't understand them and in a way, we don't really understand ourselves. Which is frustrating since we see them happy. But we can't allow ourself to feel because that's not the right way to do things. So we are even more angry and even more miserable.
- We think we are oppressed by people on the left, people who are supposed to be the good guys. This creates a constant state of anger against leftist that comes from a simple place of ignorance. Because if they are right, it means that we are wrong. And that's something that far rightist can't accept.
- We are not Nazi, but we don't want white to disappear but we are not white supremacist but we don't want muslim to impose their religion of hate but we are tolerant with religion but we don't like people out of the norm but we are friendly but some people's identity is BS but we are the scientific ones but social sciences are pseudoscience but we are realist but climate change is not real but we don't want poor people to be poor but some people deserve more than others to be rich but we are not farrightist but Donald Trump is right. Etc. >>
Being a far rightist sucks. Trust me on that, I went through there. In fact I when through ALL the strats of the political scale between the far right and where I'm now and the moment I started to accept that I was wrong and got rid of those rightist BS concepts and beliefs, I improved my mental strenght at EVERY points.
Mate.. Being a leftist kinda rocks.
We know who we are, we hate no one, we are not afraid of trans, homo, muslims, jews or non binary people, we understand why people are acting the way they do, we are not afraid of our emotions, we are not afraid of being out of the norm, we know our real political ennemies, we are not afraid of women or men for that matter, we are not afraid of positive change, we stand STRONG in your beliefs, we stand for the oppressed which feels actually good, we have ZERO contradictions in our beliefs, we have a just fight, we believe in science which means that we are those who understand the nature of reality the best, we are not afraid of getting rid of our beliefs if necessary, we are not afraid of being wrong, we are not afraid of ourselves or other people (at least if we are a man), we are not stuck by a patriarcal box. Yes, we are angry against the system and those in power or bigoted people sometimes, but that anger does not come from hate, it comes from love, so we remain free and in full understanding.
What I feel as a leftist right now, is close to what some Buddhists monks are calling "bodhi", translated "the enlightement" or "awakening" in English. Through knowledge and self centering, I feel at peace with myself and the world, EVEN without being really happy because mentally attacked by an illness. That's how strong the feeling is and that's also one of the reasons why I want to share it so much. It simply feels good to be a real leftist. And you know what ? I know that I could feel even better and go even further beyond if I actually took the time to learn more about the world.
I went through far rightism (or at least semi far rightist ideas) once before. I would cut both my arms and legs before going back to this panicking state. I was not sick and yet I was miserable, completely ignorant and a real jerk since I was not understanding the world around me.
If you think you don't like me now, wait until you see how you will look at your pastself after becoming like me.
