within the liberals’ human nature to be apathetic towards brown kids,
People aren’t robots made to exact specifications in a factory. There are both evolutionary and environmental factors that affect human behavior. Among a population there will be different genetics and different environments (which includes social factors).
The link you highlighted doesn’t refute my position that Tribalism was created through evolutionary pressure. Your highlighted text supports the claim.
Your premise that people are wonderful caring humans is false. The majority voted for Trump. Explain it to me.
That’s like saying no one should have killed Hitler.
You replied:
“Pure Great Man nonsense.”
It’s a non sequitur!
I didn’t even suggest that Trump was a leader who got to power because of his abilities.
I then said this for clarification:
The forces that create the environment for a Hitler to come to power are different than the personality cult that develops after the person is in power.
Which is literally Herbert Spencer’s critique of Great Man theory!
Cults tend to die with their leaders. I’ve listed many of the cults that died in this thread. Cults surviving the death of their leader is the exception.
This is your position and this is what I was addressing:
Trump is a cult that dies with him.
This is your justification to that position:
It’s human nature. People are, in general, not different than their tribal ancestors from 300,000 years ago
You are suggesting that we as humans are hardwired to support the most popular individual and that anything eventful that happens is attributed to that one single individual (this is what Great Man Theory is), simply because as a result of evolution and somehow that’s compared to tribes that lived 300,000 years ago, when hunting and gathering and grouping up was a necessity to ensure higher chances of survival. None of the links you provided back up that point, the hill you wish to die on, neither does your justification make any sense. I explained that these links only serve to describe and analyze tribes, not prove the Great Man Theory.
But you know what is a death cult?
Liberalism. Liberalism is a death cult. And you’re part of it, engaged in it, succumbed to it and running cheerleader for it, because it serves to benefit you, Trump, Biden, Bernie, Rubio, Team Blue, Team Red, the full works.
I don’t take it you’re a reading type because obviously you did not read any of the sources you linked, otherwise you’d know that none of these actually say anything about human nature in relation to cults or tribes or whatever, so watch these from start to finish, you’d stand to actually learn something, lib

That was not your position, stop lying

Yet you keep arguing!
I’m not sure why you are trying so hard to deflect any criticism of Trump into a societal problem. Trump isn’t blameless. He has agency.
What you said is:
And you justified it by claiming it’s “evolutionary biology”. Substantiate that claim.
Evolutionary justification for cults:

Dude, who are you expecting to buy into this…
You asked for sources and I gave them. You lost and you’ve been outed as a Trump apologist.
Lol. Come on now.
Evolutionary basis of cults:
https://csuepress.columbusstate.edu/context/theses_dissertations/article/1356/viewcontent/best_2018.pdf
Source that cults fail after their leader dies:
The People’s Temple (Jonestown)
Heaven’s Gate
The Branch Davidians
Children of God
Order of the Solar Temple
Aum Shinrikyo
Modern Cults that survived their leader’s death:
Mormons and Scientology.
Those are literal cults, not cults of personality. Trump supporters aren’t living with him in a compound, genius.
And that paper isn’t about evolutionary biology anyway, stop just linking whatever and hoping no-one checks
Cults aren’t defined by people living in a compound.
The paper referenced evolutionary reasons for cults.
Fucks sake. What are you trying to accomplish here? Everyone can see you’re just behaving in bad faith
You threw out the term Great Man theory without even understanding it.
I’ve refuted every single argument with sources and you keep arguing.
I stated the fact with sources: Cults have an evolutionary basis I stated the fact with sources: Cults tend to die when the leader dies.
You have nothing in reply.
I believe you push Great Man Theory into arguments even when it doesn’t apply to absolve Trump of any responsibility.
Don’t weasel your way out and change the subject.

Human nature, again, is also not scientifically grounded. Any argument mentioning human nature necessitates an actual scientific study on human nature itself, lucky for you, there’s no such a thing. Here’s another video explaining why it’s a thought-terminating cliche.

I did not suggest that and refuted it many times!
STOP STRAWMANING.
