I feel like I understand what they said, but maybe I’m not wording my question right.
Imagine that I’m asking whether you like blue more or green more. I’m not asking you what your favorite color is, or what color you’d paint your car, but generally which one of those two colors you tend to see yourself liking more.
I’m not asking anyone to strictly identify with one or the other. It’s a question of where on the spectrum between them you fall.
I am more of a big picture person and my partner is more of a details first person.
In the essay, Dreher argued that many on the right were displaying what he believed to be ugly qualities that define the modern left: language policing (see: Trump’s renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”); rewriting history (see: a MAGA podcaster’s description of Winston Churchill as the “chief villain” of World War II); and, above all, identity-based politics. Dreher wrote that he saw white Christian men feeling disempowered and advocating for their own racial, gender, and religious interests; he was most disturbed by how often this form of “identity politics” seemed to manifest as aggressive antisemitism.
Woke is a slur to them. Literally the idea of being more aware is so offensive to them they made it hate speech.
I feel about the same way, but have never been able to put it into words this well…
Good luck finding one that isn’t infiltrated by CIA or FBI
Not at all religious, but the book of Revelation looks more and more prophetic every day…
This is freaking weird… I finally started working on my own TTRPG idea a few hours ago, and now this pops up in my feed…
Cool!
I think you hit the nail on the head. It’s being made about hypothetical implications, instead of being taken at face value…
Here’s another one: Are you more of a silly person or a serious person?
There are implications to both, and few would self identify as strictly one or the other, but I can easily see which side I tend to align with without labeling myself a “Serious/Silly Person”
It’s really blowing my mind that this concept isn’t more intuitive. (I’ve had this conversation with a family member who has a view very similar to yours)
