More on that from the Guardian…
People in this day and age still believe
It was all OK because at least the dead children got Christian burials , and all the death and suffering was worthwhile because it helped destroy a pagan culture , and converted them to Christ .
Holy shit.
Ah, but it didn’t succeed, thank the Goddess (or whoever isn’t the Christian god, LOLOLOLOLOL!)
Addendum:
La Prensa is owned by the family of Christiana Chamorro, a high-profile politician who was detained two months ago after announcing she would run against President Ortega in November’s elections. Other presidential hopefuls have also been detained.
Among those many psychologists, Bob Altemeyer…
Intriguingly, the researchers found some common traits between left-wing and right-wing authoritarians, including a “preference for social uniformity, prejudice towards different others, willingness to wield group authority to coerce behavior, cognitive rigidity, aggression and punitiveness towards perceived enemies, outsized concern for hierarchy, and moral absolutism.”
It seems like any self-described “leftist” (or described as such by psychologists) who have those traits is by definition a right-winger.
I don’t get it.
They want the same things the left wants but forcibly for everyone. Like, I know vegans who are very vehement about others eating meat. Or folks forcing LGBTQ+ folks to be open or more so, whether they want to or not. Oooh, another example - Gwenyth Paltrow.
And letting others die because of their political beliefs, which is prevalent on both sides of the aisle.
Stalin, Mao, Pol pot, Kim dynasty.
The paper itself cites the weathermen, although that’s way before my time.
I was alive when that went on, but was a toddler/child, so I was blissfully unaware. Like the White Panthers, John Sinclair’s “party”. (I promise, I won’t start ranting about him, lol.)
I would argue that such people on the left are only a very small and marginal fringe… the death cult of the far right has taken control over the GOP. It’s really not the same at all. Most Democrats do not want republicans to die, which is why they are pushing for them to get vaccinated.
The two parties are not the same at all right now.
Oh yeah, of course it is. But the alt-right was only a fringe once too.
