Look how well THAT worked out for them. It's been a living nightmare, the successful colonization of the #tech sector by #conservatism (i.e. Christofascism basically) but watching the Democrats flailing around uselessly has had its macabre entertainment value. The mainstream Dems seem to have no other strategy than to keep double and trebling and quadrupling down on the stale Clintonite methods. They weren't popular at the time. I voted for Bill Clinton. I tried to make myself believe he was a good change of pace. But no hep Democratic voter really liked that he was obviously so smarmy and superficial and oozing with corruption. (cont'd)

#Conservatism comes naturally to failures because it's always possible to cast failure as the result not of one's own failings but because of the world's corruption. At some point in the past, when tradition meant more and Men were Men and women were excluded from public life, the failure is certain they would have succeeded, but then the virus of rebellion took over and now it's the failure's job to freeze social change dead...or to roll it decades or even centuries backward. Right now, Peter tells me, there's complaints from right-wing figures up in arms because they're being accused of academic incompetence. (cont'd)

"Why the right resists veg(etari)anism: Ideological commitment to consuming animal products" <📄> Public and scholarly discourses have long emphasized the unique symbolic status of meat, expressing strength, cultural traditions, and dominance, and thus values that resonate with right-wing adherents (Adams, 1990; Choma et al., 2024; Dhont & Hodson, 2014; Joy, 2010; Michielsen & van der Horst, 2022). This narrow focus on meat, however, might have contributed to the impression that meat holds a unique ideological role in dietary behavior. Our findings challenge this idea by demonstrating that right-wing adherents (those higher in SDO or RWA) express greater commitment not just to meat consumption but to a broader range of animal products, including dairy, eggs, and fish. Clearly, ideologically motivated commitment to animal product consumption extends beyond meat (Dhont & Hodson, 2014; Stanley, 2022), and is evident among consumers of dairy, egg, and fish, including not only omnivores, but also flexitarians, pescatarians, and vegetarians. .. <📄> Vegans and animal advocates are often portrayed as moralistic or condescending, which can elicit psychological resistance to perceived threats to personal choice, particularly among right-wing adherents (Aloni et al., 2024; De Groeve et al., 2022; Gregson et al., 2024). Our findings suggest that, much like meat consumption, dairy, egg, and fish consumption may hold a symbolic meaning reflecting dominance-and tradition-based values and serve as a form of pushback against ideologies that challenge animal product consumption (i.e., veg(etari)anism). Indeed, consistent with Dhont and Hodson's (2014) findings, right-wing ideologies predicted commitment to animal product consumption through perceived veg(etari)anism threat (for both SDO and RWA effects), and human supremacy beliefs (for SDO effects). By demonstrating these dual pathways, our findings align with the dual process model of ideology and prejudice (Duckitt & Sibley, 2010; Judge & Wilson, 2019) yet also reveal that the relevance of ideological dispositions in dietary attitudes and behaviors is more far-reaching than previously understood. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950329325003441 #carnism #goVegan #fascism #conservatism #traditionalism #rightWing #dominance #hierarchy #anarchism@Sentientism@toot.community
