realcaseyrollinsBarbie and the conservative outrage machine
Politics is downstream from culture, as Andrew Breitbart once said.
Seems like no matter what the movie was like, it was never going to be for conservative men. Seems like a waste to dwell on it.
I think the fact that a lot of conservative men feel the need to be a part of or have an opinion on everything is not unrelated.
Of course it’s related. It’s a tautology. Conservatives wouldn’t be conservative if they didn’t fear everything and hate everyone. It’s all they have.
Huh. You feel that way about orthodox Jews and Chinese Confucians, huh?
I probably wouldn’t say something like that about those conservative groups, but I guess I should really just be more open minded about such things.
All religions are partly based on fear. Doesn’t matter if it’s orthodox Jews, orthodox Christians or orthodox Muslims or any other religion.
Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with being fearful. It might even be a valid approach to life in many ways.
However it does become a problem when it turns political. That’s the moment when fear turns to hate.
This topic is about conservative politics. And my comment is on conservative politics. Not American Republicans, but conservative politics in general. The problem of hateful conservative politics is present everywhere in Europe and probably everywhere world wide regardless of religion. Look at Spain or Finland, who recently I find it quite disgusting that conservative politicians are abusing the religious fears to fuel their own hate.
All religions are also about peace, acceptance, love and respect. None of which are present in conservative politic.
