Very thought provoking! Good stuff to think on. My two cents: maybe, underlying all of this is David Humes’ observation that we make decisions based on our psychological needs —>

yes, but billionaires are also promoting and pushing fasicm because they believe it increases their odds of survival in the coming climate apocalypse

Very interesting. So the easy access/abundance of information, fear mongering and misinformation all contribute to our perception of a threat?

This is why years ago before Fox News became so prevalent we used to tell our parents to stop watching the local evening news. It was nothing but car accidents and police reports.

I think people are overselling how much voters are "choosing an authoritarian" (so to speak) and underselling how much they're running away from the Dems

I give out more loaves of freshly baked bread to my neighbors when times get hard. They are old broken Democrats on fixed incomes.

The conservatives have been fed a constant diet of fear, crime, gloom and doom for almost 50 years. They are genuinely terrified. Hard to be analytic when you are scared. Rep leaders know that.

That makes so much sense. Understanding a bit of the actual psychology behind this helps a lot. And it raises so many questions. But most of all, how does it all overlap w/ your research on incels?!

A few years ago I read a study concerning farmers who lost something like 20 IQ points from harvest to harvest and their decisions became more conservative as the year continued. Seems similar.

In France after the national humiliation of 1870 the far right exploited Catholic, monarchist, nationalist, xenophobia, anti-semitism which grew and blossomed during WWII. The U.S. is in decline.

The US is a mess, rent is unaffordable most places and groceries keep increasing in price compared to wages. Trump will make that worse, but pretending there's no crisis is blindness

The more the left talks about climate change, thinking we can pull people left with logic, instead we’re reminding ppl of uncertainty & death & probably pushing them more right w/ denial.

The exploitation of capitalism is causing suffering and hardship. As the media is owned by the arch capitalists, they use it to place the blame on immigrants, not themselves

I can’t even imagine thinking authoritarianism (or even conservatism tbh) would be a good idea in any situation, least of all a crisis.

In addition economic and social uncertainty in this case it started with the refugee crisis, covid didn’t make it easier and secondly the rise of the East. Specifically china.

meanwhile I'm over here panicking abt climate change and nobody in power can take that seriously. is it just that solutions there seem to require degrowth or anticapitalism?
