What does Rick Scott have to do with you saying "Not everyone who works for a “terror group” is a terrorist."?

In this very forum @JimmySpeaks has made over a dozen posts deflecting from Rick Scott’s fraud because “he wasn’t charged” (he used those exact words) despite being the CEO of a company convicted of the biggest Medicare fraud in history.  But now he’s calling some low level employee a terrorist simply for working there.

His hypocrisy is quite humorous.

Well glad to see you agree Tim Walz wasn’t responsible for fraud in Minnesota at least, so that’s progress I guess

What do progressives really want?  by Lionel Shriver
 

…

 

So here, finally, is my thesis: I believe that what progressives want most of all is to fail. They are most comfortable being against things. They are most comfortable campaigning for purposes that will never come to fruition. They are so dependent on the perpetuation of social ills like racism that in a pinch they will invent “microaggressions” undetectable to the naked eye; starved of racism, they will make the racism up. For progressives, a proper utopia, with nothing and no one left to denounce, would be hell.

More, the last thing they want is to be put in positions of authority that test the viability of their dumb ideas. They can most persuasively promote these dumb ideas in opposition. Once in charge, they’re obliged to put their inane policies into practice. Picture, then, a United  States of America with no police, no prisons, and no national borders, where everything is free yet where anyone who might credibly produce all the free stuff is robbed, vilified, and impoverished; where half your inhabitants have swapped sexes with the other half, with the minor downside that the entire population is sterile. Obviously, any across-the-board progressive success would be too awful to contemplate: rampant violence and looting, third-world cities overrun with criminals and transactional immigrants ransacking whatever they can get their hands on, a collapsed economy and thus the end of niceties like the internet, running water, electricity, supermarkets, and functional governments—and progressives would have no one to blame but themselves!

Imagine, too, having to accept that it’s your fault the state of Israel is no more, which you’d thought you might have quite fancied, but which you now find a tad queasy-making. Because it turns out that wiping Israel off the map is not an exclusively cartographical exercise. After you’ve been wanging on about “genocide” for years, Hamas and Hezbollah have beheaded, eviscerated, raped, and defiled the bodies of more than seven million Jews—and not a few Arabs, because you know these rampages can get messy—if only to show all you useful-idiot boosters what a respectable “genocide” really looks like.

How much better to remain in harmless impotence on the sidelines and jump up and down like little children, before playtime is over and it’s time for a snack. For armchair revolutionaries, being eternally thwarted is a blessing, because they get to keep their resentment, their fury, their purity unsullied by contact with reality, and their sense of purpose that’s never ruined by getting what they claim to want. Real political power in far-left hands has already proven catastrophic not just in Cuba and Venezuela but in this country, which is a big reason Americans are pouring from blue to red states. Progressives are far happier people when they are stopped. So it would be only decent of conservatives and the few remaining moderate Democrats to oblige them.

Im not dumb enough to believe all of the below about conservatives but its easy to spew garbage and make everything out to be "the others" rather than take a more nuanced and balanced position. Enjoy the below anyhow...

 

 

Conservatism -- by definition -- is "a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing the importance of established hierarchies and institutions (such as religion, the family, and class structure), and preferring gradual development to abrupt change".

The sole value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one's perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.

To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on top [of social hierarchy] to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom. The first greatest injustice is for those on the bottom to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top.

Conservatives absolutely need an underclass [for society] to demonize and dehumanize in order to maintain [their] hierarchy, and every single one of their policies and rhetoric work to do exactly that. Unless the accusation is one of disrespecting hierarchy, every right-wing accusation is a confession -- every. single. one; always! -- as it is never the act itself that upsets them, but rather, the social standing of the person doing the act, as said act is a privilege meant for those on top of [their perceived] hierarchy (See also: pedophilia - Trump and the Catholic church versus LGBTQ+ and drag queens; protests - January 6th vs. BLM and No Kings; parental rights - anti-LGBTQ+ vs pro-LGBTQ+; indoctrination - religion vs. education).

Those who believe all people are people see hypocrisy, while those who believe some people are "more/less" people than others see hierarchy. Hypocrisy implies a sense of equality/parity, as the accusation of such is that someone is violating a universal or common standard. Hierarchy directly states that there is no equality/parity, that different social strata have different standards, that the only universal standard concerning hierarchy is that those on top are allowed privileges which are denied to those on the bottom, and that the bottom are held to standards which the top are exempt from.

To them, children are property of their social betters, and "know your place" is their mantra.

Addendum #1: Conservatives promote the literal torture of their own children if and when the latter don't conform to traditionally established sexual and gender norms.

Addendum #2: Conservatives ignore the many, many, many cases of pedophilia and sexual assaults perpetrated and covered-up by the upper echelons of Christian churches (in 2024 alone), and even promote a privilege for churches to keep silent concerning infant rape.

Addendum #3: 800 Republican Sexual Predators, Abusers, and Enablers, 1552 Right-Wing Sexual Predators, Abusers, and Enablers
