There’s also something to be said for relying on feelings, emotions, and being in the moment, as opposed to fixed rational and material truths, and a morality based on delayed gratification. That’s why liberals can make great artists, but be totally off-base in politics and religion.

The Left marches in lockstep. They toe the Party Line. They must achieve class consciousness and oppose the Oppressor Class. Mass Strike is a viable weapon. If we all stick together, we can save the world.

But, you know, be creative, think for yourself and try to be an individual. [/s]

Lefties suck at memes. A lot of lefty comedians are only funny when they aren’t talking politics. Usually self deprecating and talking about how miserable they are. That’s the goods. Laugh at the fat loser.

Merriam-Webster’s official (and well-liked) online dictionary defines a liberal as “one who is open-minded or not stringent in the maintenance of traditional, or established practices.”

Leftists are not liberals in the classic, dictionary definition sense. They are brainwashed NPCs that follow orders to protest the dumbest things without thought or reluctance. This article thus begins with a false premise.

Jonathan Haight has done foundational work on how libs and conservatives think differently. From ChatGPT:

Jonathan Haidt’s Moral Foundations Theory proposes that human morality is built upon six innate and evolved psychological foundations that guide moral judgments across cultures. These foundations are Care/Harm, Fairness/Cheating, Loyalty/Betrayal, Authority/Subversion, Sanctity/Degradation, and Liberty/Oppression. Each foundation evolved to solve specific social challenges faced by early humans, such as protecting vulnerable offspring (Care/Harm), detecting free-riders in cooperative groups (Fairness/Cheating), and maintaining group cohesion through loyalty and respect for authority. Haidt describes these foundations as analogous to “taste buds” for morality, explaining that individuals and cultures prioritize them differently, which underlies political and ideological divides. For example, liberals tend to emphasize Care and Fairness more heavily, while conservatives generally value all six foundations more equally, which helps explain why liberals may struggle to understand conservative moral concerns.

As in their most recent creations, “No Kings” or the “Surround the White House” protest on Wednesday to remove Trump as President?

Whet ridiculousness it is to call today’s leftists “liberals”. They are vicious violent totalitarian monsters.

I posted a complaint about some neighborhood kid shooting deer with a bow and arrow. Some yahoo responded with how he hated that liberals had moved out here and ruined everything. Wifey deleted his response before I had a chance to express myself to his redneck a**. First, it wasn’t deer season. Second, the deer were only being wounded. Ever start your day by seeing a wounded deer with an arrow in her side, wondering what happened? The guy was a complete jerk, implying that anything he disagreed with was liberal bs. Truth is, he was so emotionally butt-hurt by my post I figure it was he, or perhaps his kid who shot the deer, or that he is a closet liberal whose feelings got hurt when someone asked him to behave.

I’m pretty sure modern day conservatives tend to score higher on law and order-type personality metrics than do liberals, who score higher on things like openness to new experiences.

But those of course are just averages, and I’m not sure whether such measures are bias in how they’re designed.

What a great conversation starter!

A leftist is all about creativity, although his vision is impaired, so his creative endeavors are all self-serving and short-sighted - and anxious. There’s always a disturbance about Leftist art, like a broken electric high wire dangling to the ground.

A rightie is all about value. S/he realizes that he must be of value to others, or he will never have any kind of life, and that he must define his values succinctly to himself, to have a basis for a good and productive life. He realizes creativity is something that must enhance value - so he puts his creative skills into his job, his relationships with his family and mate, and his children. He doesn’t honk about being creative like that’s some kind of job in and of itself - he lets his creativity flow out to others, to create value for them and increase his own worth among them.

And that is why rightie art, when it does happen, is usually more proportionally correct, more pleasing to the eye, and more beautiful. There’s beauty in everything a rightie creates, because his values are straight. He’s not confused about his place in the world or worried about his worth to others.

The leftist can create stirring art, but there is always something missing, and confusion about what is “meant” by this particular expression. (It’s really a tell about the Left, you know, that they put so much psychological angst into their art.)

I remember a book called “Drawing on the Right Side of your Brain” that claimed creative functions were right hemisphere functions and that people right brain dominate were more creative artistically.

My observations tell me that the liberal mindset is indeed more likely to produce fine art and music than the conservative. Oddly enough, the liberal mindset does not align well with reality.

If creativity is inherently liberal everyone is a liberal.

No.

The left can’t meme and therefore wants to ban them.

I rest my case.

Creativity is the act of either making something from nothing or recreating it in their own ideology changing it’s purpose. It is the ability to produce new and original ideas or solutions by combining information in imaginative ways. It can manifest as artistic creations, new methods or devices, or novel solutions to problems, big or small. This ability involves thinking differently, seeing connections others might miss, being curious, and challenging conventional wisdom. And like remaking movies in Hollywood, it’s only purpose too many times is for the creator and not humanity as they profess.

“...and a morality based on delayed gratification.” WTH does that mean???
“That’s why liberals can make great artists, but be totally off-base in politics and religion.” How would you explain conservatives and Christians being great artists? I’m sure they are out there. I’m leaning toward No to the question.

No, just off the bat, Ray Bradbury comes to mind.

His biographical opening to Fahrenheit 451 and his battles with woke morons who desired to censor his work (or change it to do things like change the sex of characters) for school stage productions is really eye opening.

Robert Heinlein is another; decidedly a classic liberal (which has no relation to modern leftism) in the mold of Patrick Henry.
