    Imagine admitting that you’re just biologically predisposed towards fear as if that’s a positive quality. “Yes I am actually a primal beast who jumps at my own shadow, like all great predators do. This means I’m the pinnacle of biology!”

        I think leftists were insufficiently afraid of the amount of government power that was exercised during the pandemic.

      If you believe you’re an ‘alpha male’ (or whatever Greek letter they’re on now), I guess it makes sense to believe you are the pinnacle and every deviation from you is not indicative of anything negative in you, but is instead indicative of problems the ‘betas’ are facing

      Also that tweet lmao

      1. Conflating leftists and liberals
      2. ‘My brain more fearful of brown people and that’s good’
      3. Phobic is a slur
      4. Misunderstanding that ‘smaller’ is not ‘atrophied’ lmao, as one indicates a comparison between two masses without bias, and the other indicates one is undersized relative to another

      You’ve heard about alcohol causing bad judgment right? Did you ever stop to consider how an anxiolytic drug could be associated with poor decision-making?
