I don’t know who needs to hear this but women tend to lean left because the other side is too controlling
From this tweet.
One of those observations that is so obvious that I'm surprised I never heard it from anyone. A big part of it might be that I read mostly from men.
That being said, I am not trying to promote any form of political belief, because I am suspicious of the entire game in the first place. The fact that people “choose” something—a candidate, an opinion, etc.—because they find that the other option is worse is rather telling. We could say that this is how the lesser evil spreads: by making itself appear as better than another evil and leaning into people’s concessions.
Also, the left wing is absolutely steeped in control, but of a different kind. Less reliant on brute force and more on shaming, brainwashing and making people impotent such that they cannot break out on their own and be free.
Another reason why I am not interested in politics is because I think it is merely a distraction from addressing things you have a meaningful impact over. The game of politics can only interact with the world through the power-games of the egregores that surround us, but the problem is that those egregores do not have our well-being as their priority, only their own survival and power: companies, governments, countries, ideas, entertainment, all of them manipulate human beings in order to reinforce their own control on money, resources, attention, human minds, and others.
In other words, by engaging in politics you are handing out your time, energy and attention to a collective that has no coherent direction, because it is swayed by whatever will give it power in the moment, and fueled by unconscious people because only those would give away their life for a ghastly collective.
