@MbnCringeBox @b_l_r_p @settlerslament There is no "right-wing", there's just big causes and the kinds of people who get swept up in big causes. What is today called "right wing" are just people who either aren't being swept up in the current big cause, or are with some other minor cause.
@MbnCringeBox @b_l_r_p @settlerslament The kinds of people who get swept up into causes were christians, nazis, communists, and now whatever the fuck the current unnamed big cause is. "Justice progressive liberalism utopia of eternal bliss and everything that is good"ism.
@MbnCringeBox @b_l_r_p @settlerslament And predisposition for getting swept up into a cause is largely heritable, and "left-wing" people, a proxy for being a cause person, have had lower fertilies than "right-wing" people for as long as that has been measured, meaning people in the middle ages were more
@MbnCringeBox @b_l_r_p @settlerslament "genetically left-wing", to use the inappropriate modern terminology, and that Christianity was just what these "left-wing" people blobbed onto, because that was "the big cause" of the time. That's why the descendants of puritans up in Mass and Vermont are all shitlibs.
@MbnCringeBox @b_l_r_p @settlerslament The didn't "use to be right-wing", they were always cause-people. And these people have been nothing but a menace for all recorded history, and they have nothing to do with material progress or happiness. Merely what they call "social progress", which changes with the cause.
