People are publicly shaming their very own family members, cutting off ties with parents, all because of politics.
Politics rules the modern world.
Almost everything is now politicised.
Why is this?
I try to examine this in the below thread...

Yesterday @RyanHoliday puts out an essay, publicly shaming his father for his voting pattern, he is voting trump.
My response to him was that this should have been a private conversation between family members.
then i realised why he did this.... https://twitter.com/GRITCULT/status/1323398285491658753?s=20

the main reason as to why he did boiled down to politics being the new state religion.
democracy, rather secular democracy, is a state religion of the neoliberal order.
The government has replaced their GOD.
As such, Ryan Holiday, was making a religious statement.

When people in a heavily reinforced system, signal like this. they do so in a way that is almost the same as giving public charity.
his public shaming of his father was him signalling how dedicated he is to his religion. the religion of politics.

humans are belief machines.
they take up and absorb memes. they affiliate themselves through ideas, they communicate in memes. concepts.
the main machine that is being pushed by the powers that be... is that democracy is enlightenment is god https://twitter.com/GRITCULT/status/1313479841354780674

When you have this notion of secularism, you create a void in man. man, who makes meaning. ends up making meaning in many other ways.
thus secularism is not anti religion, it is just another religion.
you cannot escape religousity https://twitter.com/GRITCULT/status/1322572874935394304?s=20

political violence is thus RELIGIOUS VIOLENCE
for both sides of the political spectrum, there is an inherent belief that if they vote hard enough there will be a judgement day and their society will ascend into utopia.
this is their eschatology. https://twitter.com/GRITCULT/status/1281686450585702403?s=20

by signalling their dedication to their given religion, they show the world that they are worthy. that they deserve heaven
it signals that they deserve more status, within their ingroup
humans are rarely logical.
politics as religion has many benefits https://twitter.com/GRITCULT/status/1297552430524182528

Another example
a man on his death bed, is forced to make his last wish a political one.
this has religious connotations
this is the last redemption. his last redemption to save his soul and make his last act one that converts him on his death bed

politics is a mass group ritual
everyone posting, it is a spectacle, everyone wanting to seem cool by posting things that will make their friends proud of them
a giant circle jerk https://twitter.com/GRITCULTTweets/status/1294160855261761536
