Are you more likely to make your political decisions based on logic, or emotion?

it's logical to support equal rights for all

 

Of cpurse I did. I just applied a positive spin to counter your negative spin.

It is quite striking how the left is going about dehumanizing the right. I am approaching the end of my life and hope I don't live to see the day when the left rounds us up citing studies like yours to justify imprisoning people with defective brains.

Hows that for a threat assessment?

 

And your values, ideals and goals are emotionally based. You strive to live up to your values and ideals and accomplish your goals because itt makes you happy, not because they are rational.

 

Walk me through your logical steps. It seems more logical to me to support White privilege, for instance, because it gives me an advantage.

 

The left rediscovered Eugenics and gave it a fresh coat of "scientific" paint.....

 

1: Emotions are derived from how the situation effects your values. What you feel is of value, ideals, and such are not necessarily derived from emotions. It it is more from social nurturing and parenting.
A person can go through a lot of pain and suffering, even death, when trying to uphold and pursue their values.
It's not happiness they seek, but maybe it's purpose and meaning.

 

if one does not care about society as a whole and only about themselves, then yes, government should not support that though

we see the same with some blacks only caring about their own race and not others, government should not support that though

we need to work for helping those that need it regardless of race

 

That is a wise move. There is no need for false reporting of Fox News. CNN scrubs any negative news regarding Democrat policies, Democrat politicians and Democrat voters. It provides a service to the Democrat party and is a wise choice by you.

 

Very interesting. But doesn't social nurturing depend on eliciting praise and shame to instill these values? I can certainly imagine a person accepting death to avoid shame.

 

Isn't caring about society as a whole based on emotion, not logic? Death before dishonor?

 

I think it's a combination of both, yes

 

I see them a supporting influences, not core influences. Even if you never said a word to your child your whole life, they are still watching your actions and learning from them and deriving meaning from them.

 

I think they tried such an experiment in Romania. I never looked up the results Perhaps they had no values at all and were savages..

However in civilized nations we talk to our children and instill values with praise and shame.

 

Ah yes!

The one study that conservatives double down on. All one needs to do is just take a gander at all the threads posted by our conservative brethren on here to see that it is fear, hate, and loathing that binds them together and gives them a reason to live. All the rhetoric coming from the right-side of the aisle is aimed at ticking these emotions in the hopes of producing actions and votes. They have no unifying vision for America short of a "get off my lawn" type of mentality.

 

In 2015 I left Canada's Liberal Party after P. M. Justin Trudeau was given a majority government in Ottawa....... (I had joined Canada's Liberal Party in 2009 with hopes of promoting my alternative theory on stabilization of the climate to Canadian Liberals).

I do not like majority governments because power tends to go to the heads of anybody with too much power.....
but I admit that leaving a political party because it gained too much power is illogical.

I joined Canada's Conservative Party in 2016 but left them to join with Mr. Maxime Bernier in 2018 although I felt that
he had little chance of becoming Prime Minister but...........

P. M. Justin Trudeau's advisors have made a serious policy error that has set him up in a way that I never would have guessed could have happened even six months ago?????

Political authority doesn't exist in reality. That some people have the right to rule is based entirely upon emotion - faith - in that right.

 

The above post is a great example of fear, hate and loathing, wouldn't you say?

 

I disagree. I agree with Mao that political power grows from the barrel of a gun.

 

IF the shoe was on the other foot, your side would be beating the drum twice as hard.

 

"Power" and "Authority" are two different things entirely, especially in this context.

 

I don't make political decisions. I am apolitical. I do comment on the political decisions of others based on my common sense. There is no logic to politics so I can't use that. Emotion is the approach most people take. I'll stick with common sense.

 

My emotions tell me how wonderful if government would just take care of everyone and send everyone money to buy things and there would be no misery or want in life. My logic and knowledge of history tells my what a fallacy that is that that human kind does better the more we have the freedom and liberty to profit in and act in our own self interest in a free market with the least government interference.

 

How about equal outcome?

 

nope, equal opportunity and a living wage.. yes

 

Based on what we refer to as “science” today, there is no logical argument against eugenics. The only objections are emotional.
