Since the culture war started ramping up sometime around 2014, we’ve learned a lot about how political divides are created. For one thing, political leanings have a lot to do with our experiences, our station in life, and our upbringing.
We’ve learned that liberals are generally born with a temperament that makes them more likely to want to protect those who fail to climb structures of hierarchy. We also know that conservatives are usually born with a temperament that makes them more likely to see the value of competence hierarchies and to want to protect them.
In other words, people do not choose their political leanings- they are born with them. This is why freedom of speech is so important, and why diversity of thought is the only kind of diversity that matters.
Philosophers have suggested that the intellectual diversity that manifests in human populations is part of an adaptation that makes societies function as a simulated brain. Bees have politics, after a fashion- and so do neural networks. In both examples, individuals (bees or neurons) gravitate into various “ideological” clusters. Opposing clusters try to win members of other clusters over to their “viewpoint.” This is exactly what we do as voting populations.
It would seem like Democrats know this. That’s why they express outright hatred for males—because they tend to vote conservative. Instead of operating in good faith, they try to literally destroy their political opponents. It is the politics of bigotry.
