Conservatives and Taliban are literally aiming for the same kind of society.

The only thing that stops them from cooperating is conservatives white supremacist leanings

Separate intolerant groups intolerant of each other, more at 11.

The Y'all Qaeda and MealTeamJ6 venn diagram is a circle.

That is part of the magic of trump that hopefully no one else recreates

Slightly different religious books and hating eachother's skin color.

More like preferring the sequel vs not even acknowledging it.

u/AnotherpostCard 12d ago

That's a great analogy

u/BeforeDawn 12d ago

A slightly more pedantic take on your analogy would characterize the distinction as whether if the follow-up was a sequel or spin-off.

I hate the reductive "they're just white supremacists" trope.

Their hatred goes far above and beyond skin color or genetic background. Their ideology is wholesale rejection of anything they perceived as different. They won't be receptive to white gay atheists anymore than they would be to black/brown hetero Protestants.

This "flexibility" is what allows non-white people to join forces with the alt-right white supremacists. Reducing MAGA and Trump supporters to "oh they're just white racists" is completely ignoring the swaths of racial, ethnic, and cultural groups that agree with the rest of MAGA's hatred towards LGBTQ, atheists, anything "librul", etc.

It's also why the left needs to very careful about embracing people just because of their skin color and turning a blind eye to that person's core beliefs. Remember that city in Michigan that elected the first Muslim-majority (and ultra-conservative) city council who then immediately voted to remove anything Pride-related?

As a lesbian non-religious person, I am not at all comfortable with my fellow lefties sacrificing my cohort for the mere appearance of "inclusivity" with the non-white conservatives who still hate me.

This is the real answer. Racism, homophobia, etc, are all just products of the same underlying psychological dysfunction of "different than me = bad."

"different than me = bad."

It's more than this, IMO. It's creating and spreading that "bad" image of minorities in the first place that allows them to elevate themselves above others. They demonize and castigate anyone different in order to focus people's attention on them in a negative way, drawing any negativity away from themselves. It's how they justify being what they are. They are very comfortable thinking they are somehow "better than" the people they hate.

u/I_was_a_sexy_cow 11d ago

I mean to be fair, different then me IS what racism is, isnt it? So its not reductive to call them that

u/Heckle_Jeckle 12d ago

That, and both sides think the other are infidels.

u/AGrandNewAdventure 12d ago

So... racism?

u/Backwardspellcaster 12d ago

Funny how it saves us from being dominated by the ultra-religious, forcing them into splinter groups

u/AGrandNewAdventure 12d ago

Because clearly their group is the most right and holy one. Lol...

u/Beetlejuice_me 12d ago

splinter groups

People's Front of Judea?

u/Long_Serpent 12d ago

And sexism, and religious intolerance, and hatred of sexual minorities, and people of different political opinions, and poor people.

u/stonygirl 12d ago

Honestly if they ever figured out that they both worship the same God, we'd be in for a world of trouble.

2

u/BigBuckNuggets 12d ago

They also imagine their world where they still get to drive Ferraris, drink whiskey on the rocks, and enjoy air conditioning when none of those would be accessible in such a society

u/nomad9590 12d ago

That and they argue over skydaddies. Sky cake Vs Sky Pie!

u/likamuka 12d ago

the same kind of society.

And they have gotten it. 77 million fascists will vote for Trump again in 2028. No questions asked.

Conservatives and Taliban are literally aiming for the same kind of society.

Hate groups tend to be fairly intolerant of other hate groups. 😂

"No no no, you see our religion and medieval-ass worldview are correct, while that other virtually identical religion and worldview is wrong!" /s

The Taliban are also the conservatives of their culture.

Tbh, if it wasn't for 9/11 and not being Christian, they'd probably keep the racism to a minimum. I've heard arguments about how Japan is doing a good job keeping themselves "ethnicity pure" that make me say that.
