1. La base neurobiológica del miedo conservador.
Diversos estudios sugieren que las diferencias en la estructura cerebral, específicamente en la amígdala, podrían explicar la mayor susceptibilidad de los conservadores a respuestas de miedo y amenaza.
- Theyve done studies about this, conservatives have enlarged amygdalas, the amygdala is the fear center of the brain, basically it makes them terrified of everything so they buy arsenals and demand conformity.
- Research indicates that people who lean conservative politically tend to have a larger amygdala, the brains fear and anxiety center, and exhibit a stronger physiological reaction to threatening stimuli.
2. El miedo como herramienta de control político.
Se argumenta que la ideología conservadora utiliza el miedo al "otro" y al cambio para manipular a sus bases, consolidar el poder y mantener las jerarquías sociales existentes.
- Conservative ideology is based primarily in fear. All of their talking points are designed for either manufacturing or amplifying fears in their constituents.
- The conservative mindset is driven almost entirely by fear. They are scared, little babies who can only deal with fear by lashing out violently.
- Conservatism is built on fear. Don't be afraid of a world that could change, be angry at a world that won't.
3. La resistencia al cambio y la ansiedad ante lo desconocido.
El conservadurismo se define frecuentemente por una aversión profunda a la incertidumbre, lo que genera una reacción defensiva ante la diversidad, el progreso social y las nuevas ideas.
- Conservatism at its core is based on fear. Fear of change. Fear of the other. Fear of anything different or diverse in other people.
- A predisposition to fear motivates the entire conservative worldview: fear of POC, fear of trans, fear of gays, fear of immigrants, fear of commies, fear of liberals. Above all, fear of change, the only constant in the universe.
4. La proyección y la falta de empatía.
Los críticos señalan que la incapacidad de los conservadores para procesar la empatía, sumada a su miedo constante, deriva en comportamientos de proyección donde acusan a otros de sus propias debilidades o intenciones.
- The conservative brain is preset to fear mode, combined with a lack of empathy. They are conditioned by the right wing to fear everything and everyone not like them.
- Conservatives are people who are ruled by fear. They're terrified of someone taking what they have. Because, they believe others will do so. Because deep down, so would they.
