I appreciate the tips for resources of summaries about Neitzsche to read. I never wanted to claim (here at least) that I understand Neitzche. Though, I should probably be more careful on this IRL.
I could certainly have miss-heard good-honest work, but I don’t think this changes my point. They clearly believe that some work is more “honest” than others, and conservatives tend to view hard labor as more honest than more intellectual work.
I can’t believe that it tends to be wealthier people who vote more republican. Here is a site that shows that wealthier people vote more democrat: The Inverted New Deal: Elites Vote Democratic; Working-Class, Republican | The Daily Yonder
This website claims, like the posts above, that wealthier people are more likely to be republican: Economic Demographics of Democrats & Liberals – Politics & Debt. However, like the cites above it shows no supporting plots. In addition, it shows Idaho as democrat leaning, which is ludicrous. In addition, we know the wealthier states (e.g., California and New York) generally tend to lean democrat (I think Texas is one of the few exceptions).
Certainly the right believes they are superior But WHY? It is because, in their eyes, they suffer like a good moral person should.
The right CLAIMS to value relationships more, but I’ve observed that they actually don’t. As “Hate lives in a small town” by Aurelio Voltaire says:
“When you’re heading to a small town, they’re as nice as can be But then at night they put on sheets and hang your sad ass from a tree!”
Right-wingers love small towns because they don’t have the social skills to live in a close-packed community like an apartment complex. I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had with conservatives when they go on about how much they hate big cities because they can’t deal with all the people. They have constant fantasies about going off and living in the mountains (which they often turn into reality) because they can’t stand being close to other people. We know that conservatives cannot get along with anyone with even slightly different beliefs.
The conservatives I’ve known will go ON and ON and ON about how much they love their family. But the instant one family member exposes that they’ve been abused by another, the family will turn on the abusee and defend the abuser faster than you can blink.
Conseratives don’t value relationships. They value a heard that they can hide in, like zerbras.
