I posted a bit back this article, about how leftists and conservatives react differently to disgusting images, with the former showing little reaction in their brains–even if they self reported feeling disgust–and the latter showing robust instinctive reactions.
Here is a proposal for a followup trial: put WORDS in front of the leftists. Put the word “injustice” in front of them. My hypothesis is that they will react to ABSTRACTIONS in the same way conservatives react to images.
This is the principle difference between so-called conservatives–most of whom I would label actual Liberals–and Leftists: their connection to the real world, the one which actually exists, and to which words ideally refer, but to which they need NOT refer.
There is nothing which prevents me from calling a watermelon a cucumber, as Leftists do, particularly if I am robustly supported by choruses of people nurturing the same delusion: that injustice and violence constitute justice and peace.
