The idea, for instance, that all history is about "class struggles" strikes me as an absurd and pernicious reductionism that creates division and conflict between segments of society that don't need to exist.

One of the most pervasive uses of class warfare is seen in the Republican party where they are continually moaning about how they are being assailed by leftists and urbanites.

Re: The Motivational Effect of Ideology

​
Marxism is the ideology that sent Solzhenitsyn to the gulag archipelago, and justified all the murders of Stalin and Mao.
​
How so?
​
Where did Marx call for pogroms of this kind? How did his ideologies support these pogroms?

So, let's see, I'm not allowed to see things differently than you do, I have to see them your way; you absolutely refuse to learn anything from me but I absolutely have to learn it all from you. Got it. Have a good day.
​
Isn't that exactly how you are treating us? We have to see things your way or else?

I do know a few things it would be worth taking seriously. But I can see this thread is a lost cause.

It is rare when you can see yourself losing within 30 posts.

Where have I even mentioned myself? What's with you people? I'm talking about influences that have as their aim to suppress dissidence, and they succeed in many cases.
​
Why is it that conservatives think they are being censored or suppressed simply because people don't agree with them?

Re: Political Correctness again

Your ideology ends up advocating murder.
​
Not only do conservatives falsely believe that they are being oppressed and censored simply because people disagree with them, they also think that everyone who disagrees with them wants to murder them. We can add paranoia to the growing list of psychological issues that many conservatives share.
