I find it curious that you associate terms like "rugged", "vegan" and "compassionate" with a particular leaning on the political spectrum.
I find it curious that you didn't bother to watch the linked video which contains the aforementioned satire.
I've seen the episode before but I fail to recall the entire context of the episode or exactly the relevancy of this clip from it.
How is one pretending to possess a quality that is viewed by society at a given place in time as being "virtuous" related to someone suffering from a delusion that they're being persecuted and also related to someone actually experiencing persecution?
Furthermore, I am still confused how you can conclude it's tied to a particular area on the political spectrum.
To be clear, if there's evidence of someone is being persecuted then that is it likely real while in the absence of evidence it is likely that they are suffering from a delusion.
One in the same. They delusionally believe it, their make believe (pretending) becomes their delusional "reality".
>Furthermore, I am still confused how you can conclude it's tied to a particular area on the political spectrum.
I did not make this claim.
>To be clear, if there's evidence of someone is being persecuted then that is it likely real while in the absence of evidence it is likely that they are suffering from a delusion.
People will delusionally believe fictional things as "evidence" that they are being persecuted.
> I did not make this claim
I mean, you specifically pointed towards the "left" in particular, multiple times... Whatever.
> People will delusionally believe fictional things as "evidence" that they are being persecuted.
We're talking about observing someone that's claiming to be persecuted...
If you sprayed your skin purple and think it is tan, that is delusional. If you didn't spray your skin at all and now magically believe it is now tan, that is delusional. If you believe your fake tan is natural, that is delusional.
>I mean, you specifically pointed towards the "left" in particular, multiple times... Whatever.
And? That's not the claim you made earlier.
>We're talking about observing someone that's claiming to be persecuted...
Yes, we can observe delusional people.
Good. So we understand there's a difference from a delusion and one branding themselves.
> And? That's not the claim you made earlier.
It was queried a couple times.
> Yes, we can observe delusional people.
Good. Maybe you understand the difference between someone whom is actually being persecuted and someone whom is suffering from a delusion. I'm glad you got there!
If you "brand" yourself a victim and believe it, that is a delusion. You are arguing a difference without distinction and agreeing with me because you don't understand the satire.
>It was queried a couple times.
Go back and read your original claim and stop moving goalposts.
>Maybe you understand the difference between someone whom is actually being persecuted and someone whom is suffering from a delusion.
Maybe you understand the difference between someone whom is actually delusionally "branding" themselves as a victim and someone whom is actually being victimized. I'm glad you got there!
That's the linked satire, satirizing delusional leftists who "brand" themselves as "victims". Notice the " brand" in quotes above. QED.
Republicans using that style of rant is hold over from when they were the conservative party. It also serves as a nice cover narrative to motivate the need for their radical agenda, to the large contingent of their supporters who are still blissfully thinking of themselves as conservative.
You also stripped the context where the person I was responding to was motivating their nonsense by referencing imagined harm to children in extremely rare cases, to justify this wholesale attack on our current society that will straightforwardly harm all of our children. That destruction of the present for a return to some imagined rosy past is one of the core tenets of fascism. A decade ago I would have been right with you pointing out the symmetry of the rhetoric, but at this point the Republican party has really gone off the deep end and only a fool ignores that.
This is the exact same screed I see from right-wingers write when the left gets elected, almost verbatim.
