Left Wing Authoritarians
episode 122
-The social sciences are finally starting to see that authoritarianism is not a synonym for "right wing." Researchers find narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy among leftwing authoritarians. Think of groups like BLM.
-There's a difference between "formal" politeness, and substantive politeness and respect. The left and the passive aggressive fetish formal politeness to smuggle in condescension, insult, and social judgment.
-Do you know you're going to die? Well, you are. Josh talks about what he learned from 20 years of helping bereaved people figure out how to bury their dead without going bankrupt.
-We have a go at that Miller Lite Commercial. Yeah, that one.

Regarding LWA, I see that authoritarian attitude in most liberals I know. They want it their way or the highway. This comes out in the virtue signaling of being “vegan,” combined with the lecture about how much safer for the planet it is and that I am a planet hater if I don’t join in, the masking and vaxing (I am endangering the whole world with my selfishness) and on and on. I am a conservative person and prior to the LGBTQI+ madness, I was a “live and let live” sort of person. I would still be that way but for the push to damage children with the incessant indoctrination into the house of trans. Now, I am a “question authority” person and intend to pass along that trait to my grandchildren. Never give in, never give up. I might have that engraved on my headstone when I die.(There, I said the D word, LOL)
I really love your work, Josh, and appreciate your writing and podcasts.
