As I explained in my first recent thread on the defects of the conservative brain, conservatives feel the truth in their gut, an experience Cobert defined as truthiness, i am RIGHT and I am right rolled into one, certainty and selfishness mixed.
I explained that this selfish part is ego, the phony construct we erect over our deeper feelings that we are actually inferior, the armor of denial. I want to show here how the presence of ego, the armor of denial, leads to the defensiveness and a sense of paranoia and persecution conservatives project with the purpose of communicating to the unconscious of our conservative friends they they really only fear fear itself, their own fear and not liberals' fear of them.
The ego is a protection, a denial of worthlessness, a self created aggrandizement that one is of value, not internally, but via identification with something thought by groups to be of value out there in the world, ones nation, tribe race team political affiliation, religion, etc. Now one has the safety of group think and worldly respect but it can always be threatened if the group is. Thus we find much team spirit among the mentally ill.
So ones sense of team and self are combined and one is not any more consciously defending the self but the good team such that one is actually a champion of the good.
So now when somebody wanders by and criticizes the group think a paranoid reaction occurs that something evil is at foot. Something disgusting, because, again, we are talking turthiness, a gut reaction. And this fear is projected out on the offender, the one who is different, who is not infected with the sacred group think. This is the reason we see in the world the phenomenon of mass psychosis, the projection, say on the Jews, that they were destroying Germany and must themselves be destroyed.
In short, the conservative brain decease can be very dangerous when it is collectively expressed and any sane person is going to fear that.
So conservatives fear liberals because they are disgusting and evil and liberals fear conservatives because they are dangerous when they go into a mass psychosis and only one of these fears is insane, but they look to be the same to the conservative brain.
Liberals should try to do something about this. Every time you attack a conservative as an idiot or a moron, or a frightened psychotic or angry raging fool, it looks to him that you are describing yourself, because he can't help but project on you the fear you cause him to feel.
But that is all the product of the fact that conservatives have this overprotective ego. You can't have any good sense as to fear mass psychosis but you must be afraid of him. He has to inflate his self importance to make him feel he is the real target, that your intention is to take him down a notch, not alert him to the fact that he's actually dangerous to himself, his own kind, and the sane world as well.
Conservatives love to battle with the enemy because it feeds their self importance, that they are on the team of the good,and you consternation at their impregnable stupidity is a delight to their egos.
But what they deserve is pity because they can't see the truth and wonder in darkness working unconsciously for the apocalypse that will justify their existence to begin. The conservative brain prefers that the world should die than that they see.
Nobody who has been made to hate himself ever wants to feel it again. In that we are all conservative.
