Without hierarchies/authority figures, the bootlickers would be totally lost. 🤠

  1. Belief in the concept of an “alpha male” necessitates having a strongman leader.
  2. Bootlickers need a boot to lick.

  Because their dads were abusive authoritarians, so they have daddy issues.

    This isn’t an excuse they’re just weak. Many have authoritarian fathers or parents and come out vowing to never be like that or support that behavior.

  Fear.

  They rally around figures who look strong because they’re afraid of losing social status, or feeling xenophobia due to racism, or insecure over economic concerns. As always, everything is projection with these dipshits. They let fear drive them into the sort of groupthink mob they accuse liberals of being.

    I sorta understand, I guess. But having president whatshisnuts as your figure of manhood is already a joke in itself, but elevating him to a messiah like figure is just crazy.

      Helps if your world view is shaped by people who are continually telling you that he’s a figure of manliness, while continually playing off your fear and insecurity for profit and political gain.

  Because part of conservatism is the idea that hierarchies based on who your parents are, and the fact that you’re male, etc. are proper and right.

  They want to submit to the people who are correctly above them in the hierarchy, and want the people who are supposed to be below them in the hierarchy to submit to them.

  The German philosopher Hannah Arendt asked herself a very similar question when, during the trial of Nazi official and war criminal Adolf Eichmann, she attempted to understand how a human being could be capable of such monstrous atrocities. In this context, she coined the term “banality of evil.”

  It is very worth taking a look at her book “Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil,” because her observations in it are, unfortunately, once again highly relevant today.

  It’s simple. They are super insecure guys and want to feel big, so they are assholes to women because women are easy targets. They drive massive trucks, love to BBQ and watch sports with other insecure men, but at the same time they lack any real identity and are completely lost without their mommy to take them by their hand. But mommy is a woman, and having your mommy to care for your insecure ass looks stupid to your friends, so you just follow another screaming asshole so you look touch yourself (you do not, you’re a sad piece of garbage and everyone sees it).

      The idea that eating dead, half burned animals makes you more of a man. While in fact most meat comes from female animals and is full of estrogen.

      If you want proof it’s stupid, listen to RFK jr. his advice. He has an almost full meat diet. Anything this guy says, you should do the exact opposite.

      I’m a vegan but I’m not judging people who eat meat. I do however judge people who only do it to compensate their micropenis, to act like they’re a real man. While they can’t even drill a hole in a wall, repair a dripping tap or patch a bicycle tire.

      That was my question. I’m working on a brisket as we speak and I don’t plan on watching sports, wearing a red hat, or treating any women like shit.

      I also have a truck that I haul shit in, but notice I don’t feel the need to ask what’s wrong with that. I know very fucking well what’s wrong with trucks.

    I’d like to point out that grilling and barbecue are different things. Most guys do not barbecue. Grilling is extremely common, though.

  Because they are weak pissants with no nation, creed, or honor simply following the authority who makes them feel good about themselves. It’s kinda pathetic ain’t it? This is why I force myself to be ambivalent to all authority who aren’t part of my kin, kith, or clan by default since you can’t manipulate me with funny feelings because I already didn’t give a damn.

  Or maybe I’m just from a culture that has been dealing with cultists for so long that some of us have built in anti-cult practices. Kinda a chicken and egg scenario.

  Political posts like this tend to frame things in extremes. In reality, people across the spectrum can be loyal to leaders or critical of them—it’s usually more nuanced than a single label suggests.

  There appears to be some subset of the human species that are natural slaves. They want to be serving some master. Perhaps it’s even for their own good. I don’t know if there is a random variation of this trait or if it’s genetic. All I know is that MAGA are of this natural slave subset.
