Search Results: disagree with people

My mom is a Republican-leaning independent as I described directly to her and she agreed with me. She didn't like everything Trump said about Mexicans or Muslims. However, she appreciated that he had no filter.

Anyway, we were talking about politics in general and she was tired of Black people acting like they were underclassed and underprivileged, like look at the celebrities, the athletes, this and that. "Sorry, but you're far more privileged than me. I'm not privileged." My mom works 9 to 5 pretty much every weekday. Then I asked her how she felt about MLK; she told me he was an activist that he had a right to speak his mind, and that there was segregation back then but no segregation or forced busing now.

I told her the reason why BLM isn't political is because corporations used the black square back in June of 2020 to follow the trend. How are coroprations political then? My mom disagreed, and said it was political. She was extremely uncomfortable hearing someone saying that "all white people are racist because we live in a racist system; ... read this book." Likely a Black person said it, but it could have been a white person too; I'm not so sure.

Washington, D. C. is the nation's capital; that is a fact. Facts remain constant and can be objectively verified.

Donald Trump is an idiot; that is an opinion. Nancy Pelosi is an idiot; that is also an opinion. Whether you believe either of them is an idiot, and ordinary person, a genius, a clown who occasionally gets things right, or some other conclusion. . . that is based on your political bias and you predisposition to believe certain things because of your political orientation.

Most of our political beliefs are based on opinions, not facts.

My opinions are premised about some fundamental beliefs I have about the function of government. I want it to intrude in our lives as little as possible, to guarantee our freedoms, and I don't want it to take the place of parents in providing all of our needs; I believe taking care of ourselves is an individual responsibility. I also have an inherent distrust for big government. That leads me to being a conservative/libertarian. But I can't prove that my fundamental assumptions are "correct."

If you want government to provide a safety net and to provide as much as possible for each citizen, then you are willing to sacrifice some individual freedoms and you don't mind intrusions into your personal life. You also trust the government to do its job without corruption or bias. That leads you to be a liberal. And you can't prove that your fundamental assumptions are "correct," either.

I don't think you're stupid. I just think you placed more value on having a safety net and you are more trusting of the government. For two years, I dated a girl who was (and still is) very liberal and I NEVER thought she was stupid for holding her political beliefs.

How do YOU feel about people who disagree with your political beliefs? How respectful are you of people who dsagree with you?

Stats have shown that most of the people who work within the fields of psychology and psychiatry have Left wing political views
Furthermore, the political left frequently uses the fields of psychology and psychiatry to attack anyone that expresses opposite political views. Heck they are even trying to find ways to “turn conservatives into liberals”

It’s eerily similar to how the Soviet Union used the fields of psychology and psychiatry to oppress political dissidents

Do you think that the left wing pretty uses the fields of psychology and psychiatry as a form of thought control.
