Prelate Diogenes Shandor

While on another forum I frequent I came across a topic from a poster who was confused about what constituted the "left" and the " right politically, as he had seen contradictory explanations. Inspired by that I came up with a handy chart and posted it as a response. I'd like to repost it here too:

The Right is about:

*regressive abrahamic superstition
*pathological obsession with money and power
*being a shill for polluters and robber barons
*difficulty getting a job due to lack of skills that can't be done better and cheaper by a machine
*white supremicism
*proudly ignorant backwoods hicks
*a bizarrely narrow view of what kind of relationships are acceptable
*bullshit degrees in divinity
*fear and hatred of science
*the racist, sectarian, nationalistic, cultural chauvinist, sexist, homophobic, militant, and world dominating aspects of Naziism

The Left is about:

*fatuous new-age superstition
*insufferably saccharine and/or emo obsession with feelings and identity
*being a pipe-dreaming hippie
*difficulty getting a job due to lack of skills that are useful
*refusal to integrate/assimilate
*pseudointellectuals
*a bizarrely narrow view of what constitutes consent
*bullshit degrees in the humanities
*fear and hatred of technology
*the eugenic, and scientifically unethical aspects of Naziism
Praise NHGH! For the tribulation of all sentient beings.

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well.

Technically can't have had any alcohol, even if it's not enough to get drunk, which rules out most of dates.

Besides, it's not a motor vehicle, nobody's gonna crash their bed into a bunch of pedestrians.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

POFP

I honestly can't tell if he's a self-loathing masochist who requires negative attention, or if he's just so attention-starved and socially retarded that he takes whatever attention he can get. He seems to stick around, regardless of how many times we tell him how horrible he is (And he hasn't improved in the slightest over the years.), so I can only assume it's the former. Usually, even attention-starved morons can only take so many beatings.
This Certified Pope™ reserves the Right to, on occasion, "be a complete dumbass", and otherwise ponder "idiotic" and/or "useless" ideas and other such "tomfoolery." [Aforementioned] are only responsible for the results of these actions and tendencies when they have had their addictive substance of choice for that day.

Being a Product of their Environment's Collective Order and Disorder, [Aforementioned] also reserves the Right to have their ideas, technologies, and otherwise all Intellectual Property stolen, re-purposed, and re-attributed at Will ONLY by other Certified Popes.

I guess the important thing is that you found a way to feel superior to everybody without exposing your own obviously better values to potential scrutiny.

Frontside Back

The Left is about:
*getting into power
*holding the power
*preventing the other side getting into power

The Right is about:
*getting into power
*holding the power
*preventing the other side getting into power

The two sides are there to give you something "fresh" when the one in power happens to consist of power hungry morons.

Well, yes.  The left and right are monstrous gigantic entities, not collections of people or anything.
