mrpwase posted:Why does evil exist in the world? Because our hosed up reptile brains make us hurt each other a lot. As for why we have such hosed up brains in the first place, we can probably trace that back to the first unicellular beings that had a mutation that allowed them to consume resources from other living things, and that was reallllly good for them since it was a shortcut, so they multiplied and survived and passed on their genes, and the evolutionary arms race has shaped living things into rather violent things, including us, who have gone on to use a general purpose neural network that was really good for survival and hunting into a thing that builds ever more creative implements of violence, some reaching scary proportions. On the other hand though we are certainly capable of cooperation and good things and art and music and unconditional love, so if we manage to survive this Great Filter before us, I'm sure we'll find a way to use the technology we've developed to tone down that hosed up reptile brain and become something else, something better. Outlook not good though

Swinson is more likely to back a Tory government and less likely to back a Labour one than quite a few Tories.

High fashion already annoys me, so when the owner of Louis Vuitton and other overpriced lovely brands speaks on behalf of all young people, saying Greta is demoralising kids by being a catastrophist I want to throw red paint all over the place. Shut the gently caress uuuuuuup old gits.

Its amazing how much of a one note party they are, they are the Brexit party for Remain, but with MP's. If Brexit ever finally does get sorted, I want to see how fast people bleed away from them back to the main parties, they are getting by as the Remain protest vote just as the Brexit party are the Leave vote.

Personally I think Chukka Umunna should be the next caretaker PM, he’s respected by the house and all three main parties and has nearly 10 years experience in politics. This makes him the ideal choice. I’m legally required to state this post paid for by chukka4pm ltd

Purple Prince posted:Agree. i'd say its in part due to how right wing and left wing arguments are formulated? like, a lot of right wing ideas prey on the emotion of fear - fear of change, fear of the unknown. which is quite easy to stoke up because its one of our utterly base instincts - this ties into how a lot of right wing stuff comes down to tribalism. our monkey brains still think we live in a big tribe and we distrust and fear anything from outside of it. but i suppose left wing ideas more come from the emotion of compassion or empathy - social justice, etc. we all have the ability within us to feel these emotions and have these responses, but when times are tough and things are starting to get bad - like we have now - people are more likely to kneejerk to fear rather than compassion? im not sure, this is kind of rambly but some ideas that have been rattling around my head.

This is poorly reflected in the current Brexit debate where the right wing are frothing at the bit for one of the most disruptive, un-Conservative constitutional changes in recent history, and paint the left as fear mongerers who want to scare you into the status quo. I think it's not about fear but about cognitive dissonance and easy answers. The right will tell you that it your poverty is an entrenched systemic problem that needs to be addressed with radical social upheaval, but that immigrants did it and remoaners are holding you back. It's much more tempting to believe than the left wing perspective even though it's wrong.
