Clancy’s entire “insanity” defense rests completely on the claim that she “heard a voice” telling her to kill her kids. The problem is: 1) There’s no way to prove or disprove an imaginary voice. Any murderer can make this claim and if it counts as “reasonable doubt” then we can never convict anyone of anything ever again. 2) She never reported this voice before or since the crime, strongly indicating that she made it up. 3) Most importantly, even if she DID hear a voice, why didn’t she refuse to follow the command? If a voice told me to murder my children, I would refuse. If the voice threatened and harassed me, I’d still refuse. If an actual real human told me to kill my kids and put a gun to my head, I would still refuse. If this imaginary voice did appear, Clancy could have chosen not to obey it. Instead, by her telling, the voice spoke exactly one time and she just immediately complied with what it told her to do. Not even a moment of pushback. Even if I bought that bullshit, which I don’t, she would still be guilty as hell.
@IPNWCHEF@ImBreckWorsham@AlanDersh I disagree. Even slight pushback is better than encouraging full throttle. The dissenters are incredibly important to dampen the demons.
One possible explanation as to why the left has no theory of mind of the right comes from Jonathan Haidt’s “The Righteous Mind” (2012).
He shows that moral judgments come from instinct and are then rationalized.
The six moral foundations are care, fairness, loyalty, authority, sanctity, and liberty.
Leftists build their moral world on care and fairness, whereas the right draws on all 6 almost equally.
This implies that the right’s moral range generally allows them to understand the left, whereas the left tend to be unable to comprehend moral worldviews based on loyalty, authority, sanctity, and liberty.
The left is constantly arguing with only a third of the moral vocabulary the right is actually using.
🚨 BREAKING:
Trump’s sons became partners in a Kazakh mining company.
The company received a $1.6 billion U.S. government contract shortly afterward!
Are we having fun, America?
Look at all the mugshots. There is no reason for this animal to still be alive. It's completely insane that we don't just execute chronically violent barbarians who do nothing with their lives except inflict suffering on innocent people.
