nanana Posted 7 hours ago Report Posted 7 hours ago Greetings dear phallic risk-takers: A Democrat friend of mine at the agency I used to work for until the fork in the road and the offer of early retirement commended the book "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt, to me ([think before following links] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Righteous_Mind) and suggested that it may be a basis for rebuilding lowest-common-denominator-based cooperation between people that are currently in the grip of either the Republicans or the Democrats (or the Libertarians or Greens, for that matter) (or international equivalents). As a semen-committed American, I thought it was a beautiful intention. Jonathan Haidt argues that "good" people of various political persuasions place different value on the following morality groupings: care/harm, fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, sanctity/degradation, and liberty/oppression. My friend's view was that the Democrats had moved too far away from the concept of benefits for contributions. He thought that he could potentially reclaim some deplorables by helping the Democratic Party generate policies and programs at the local and state level that better aligned benefits to contributions. What say you latex-free Americans and citizens of the world? Could this rescue the Democratic Party, or will Democrats simply forgo generating anything until the Republicans self-immolate? Also, any interest in ranking these morality groupings for yourselves? Also, where if at all could Republicans and Democrats de-demonize each other by doing things that could allow each other to model the sexy-best in each other? I'll start. Anyone who wants to move past demonization and partisanship and wants to have joy with others of different political persuasions please jump in: Ranking: 1) liberty/oppression (maybe because I have been in some abusive relationships and wish(ed) to find a superior man who would enjoy seeing me realize my gifts, also brief stints in countries that were in the middle of violent revolutions and where there was frequent murder, also have found joy beyond my original submission, so can play roles that were not given to me as an insecure youth wishing to be saved from isolation by an experienced older man, but this has been consistent since high school, when I started a geek-club for the 9th and 10th amendments) 2) fairness/cheating (was a liberal-leaning libertarian until I saw big tech silencing and de-platforming conservatives. at the time [late 2010's] I was likely to be horrified by conservative views, but I was even more horrified that fragile people would silence them rather than simply win arguments...) 3) care/harm (for me this is muddier, as care can be smothering, and "harm" can be erotic; but I still think that GOD [or the great genetic instinct to be alpha-species] meant for us to discover the best in each other and lift each other up. perhaps some of us count our cocks or our holes as our best quality, and to that I say, let's all retire to a promiscuous island). but seriously, lets all help each other learn from adversity and diversity of soul. 4) authority/subversion (for me, this is muddier, because the only real authority is the non-dogmatic GOD that whispers all sorts of contradictory sweet nothings into all of our ears [or truth for my dear atheists and scientists]; I am putting this above others only because I FINALLY believe in EVIL. It gives me a backbone and makes me ready to die for others' well-being. 5) loyalty/betrayal: I put this relatively low, because I know how much regret I have about times when I couldn't see what people were up there trying to do. I'd like to think I was rooting for all, but I am sure that I failed many people in my journey. My awareness of my own lack of understanding makes me sure that GOD intended all of us to live long enough to see our (my) own mistakes and to forgive our betrayers. (And, to be crass, Judas had a big dick.). 6) sanctity/degradation: I put this lowest because like many homos who are forced to confront the YING-YANG of being a man and wanting to fuck other men, to be a hole, or to be a fucker-hole, I really cannot tell the difference between sanctity and degradation. (I will say that Jordan Peterson, as much as he has flaws, showed me a path toward appreciating why GOD may punish people who violate taboos, simply because it is a beautiful mental concept to preserve an inviolable.) for those who feel that I have cut you off at the knees in my past comments (perhaps a mutual feeling), maybe we both could look beyond past rancor to create some non-partisan fun. 1 1
