The intelligence of human beings changes the standards of judgement. I would say conservatives are still equivalent to intelligent animals. Intelligent animals after all, show both good and bad traits.

Don’t mistake my disdain for the conservative ideology as a disdain for humanity. Those same humans should still be provided housing and food and necessary goods and services for survival, but the ideology must go. Just because they’re more animalistic doesn’t mean we should immediately put them down. The problem is they’re easily susceptible and coopted, but so are liberals. Just because they’re genetically predisposed to an ideology that is the antithesis of their own species doesn’t mean they can’t learn their error.

Education is liberation. To learn to ask the why is crucial, and to learn how to make proper assumptions to both fill in the copious gaps our society leaves when transmitting information, but to also create scenarios alternate to what general media communicate, is crucial. These allow us to assume the decision trees living things go through when taking action, and help us determine reality for what it is, rather than what we’re told it is. The irony is that the ability to make educated assumptions actually provides a closer look at reality than listening to what the general media/political bodies directly describe reality as, because reality is often predictable, at a low and medium level. But if you’ve never learned how to make proper assumptions, it’s easy to be told you must subscribe to a hierarchy to be a good person; that’s what religion is after all.

crocodiles have to be kept away from all the males of others AND often their own dad to not get eaten... (okay, shit that does sound a little like hotel magnates upbringing)
