MAGA Egalitarianism/The Cult of Q

 Say what, now?!!

We thought they were Authoritarians.

Authoritarianism happens when it's you and the policeman and you are not wearing a mask and he has a gun.

Aren't they individualist

No. They are in an identifiable group. Where I go, we all go, is not the oath of someone who does not want to be bothered by the group.

Aren't they hierarchists?

No. While they do organize, their social cohesion is not based in ritual nor the desire to move up in the ranks. They believe that everyone in the group is the same. They identify with their leader. They want to be like their leader, but don't believe in a path to become like him.

What makes them egalitarian? Egalitarians are also called sectarian or cultists. Good and evil does not come from following ritual. It comes from being inside or outside. This is why the Insurrectionists were truly confused when White cops dud not join them in liberating them from the evil of domination by their woke subjugators. Back home, their police were in the group, protecting them from the dangerous outsiders.

They believe in the brotherhood of their group. Trump is their brother. Q is their brother and the keeper of secret knowledge that he gives freely. They don’t trust doctors. Doctors are not part of their group, or rather, they cannot join the doctor group easily. They don't trust a group they do not belong to.

Egalitarians do not believe in the brotherhood of mankind. Such a brotherhood ends the unity of their group by destroying its boundaries. They refuse to be woke. Wokeness makes them like the other, absent a common enemy.

They are not hierarchists. No one can work their way into a group. They are either all the way in by claiming membership or are outsiders. To them, BLM is a group of outsiders. That there is violence associated with marches (and Antifa and Anarchists, who are also egalitarian, use violence (confirms their fears).

They don't like socialism. They associate it with the enemy, which is complicated because the old enemy is a friend of Donald – so if Donald couches for Putin, he must be OK. They don't trust government generally, especially a government that protects the rights if the enemy other (like abortionists and feminists).

Going after them with government will not bring them around. It merely stokes their fears and resentments.

They have to be invited in or be given the option if inviting others in.

You have to give them something that they want or find a way to join them in their own terms. They have to want to join. Economically, that means that any new system means better cash and prizes for group membership.

They will cooperate in a group that includes them. If there is a party to join or a form to fill out, count them out and don't ever ask them to conform or behave.

Do we try to pull them in and work together or should we let the capitalists keep winning?

By the way. Q has stopped publishing. It is probably either a condition if his release in bail or he is still locked up after 1/6.

Today's musing: libertarians who believe that money buys the right to tell others to behave are not libertarian at all. They are authoritarian. There is nothing wrong with being an authoritarian, unless you try to justify that you are not.
