  • Paraphrasing, but:

    • “Truth does not exist, only opinions, and they’re all equally valid.”
    • “Morality is fundamentally relative.” (It follows from the former, I guess.)
    • “Every tribe/culture has always been/remains equally brutal, bloodthirsty, hedonistic, nihilistic, imperialistic and selfishly amoral.”
    • “There are no differences between the sexes besides the physical ones.” (And even that one is denied at times, for instance when it comes to transexual athletes)
    • “Love, making a lifetime commitment to your partner and raising kids are not (nor should they be) of major relevance in people’s lives.” (And if you even mention it you’re a control freak, limiting women’s freedom and whatnot)
    • “You gotta take care of yourself first and foremost!” (the Divine and the collective come second and third, if they’re thought of at all, to the self, and only the self is truly worthy of attention)


















  • They come from the “average man”, intellectually cowardly and living by inertia, and whose entire ideology was most likely fed to them by mass media and propaganda, IME. They’ve never thought independently about anything deep, and if they did at some point it brought nothing but frustration and further confusion to their lives so they’re triggered by anyone trying to have a thoughtful exploration as it might bring the house of cards that is their worldview down. As such, their gut reaction is to “shut it all down”, using whatever poor argument they have at hand to do so (because if they were wise enough to be honest about their reasons for being against this potentially productive convo, they wouldn’t react this way in the first place). 🤷
