The free thinkers are always obsessed with a specific set of view points and read the same narrow viewed publications.

Exactly.

If you're going to believe in one example of pseudoscientific nonsense, you're probably going to believe in others purely because that link of critical faculties makes one permeable to such nonsense. On top of this, you've grifters like McGuirk and their corporate rags spreading this crap around.

Would you dare say to a gay man or woman that "it's all in your head"?

Doubt it.

Homophobia isn't socially acceptable any more, so a far smaller and far more vulnerable group had to be targeted instead

The "keep it out of schools" is a good one, given that 95% of primary schools in Ireland teach a very dubious ideology as fact, an ideology that contributed to the abuse of hundreds of thousands of people.

But no, just pretend that people who don't fit the "norm" don't exist

It's pretty rare though. Studies have found that within fringe groups especially, there's a tendency to develop stronger and more related beliefs. It's an effort to fit in and be more dogmatic than others. So a person who believes in 5G brain control is more likely to believe in chem trails and the great replacement.

The problem is that being pro choice or pro gay marriage is mainstream now. So the people who are against it are on the outside and so they tend to coalesce around certain other beliefs too. The same with racism. Most people are ok with migrants and don't think they're bad people. I'll admit in the middle of a housing crises there's certain issues regarding accommodation, but in general people are fine with people from other countries.

it really isn't rare at all.Some people have right wing views on some issues and left wing views on other issues. I would say a very high percentage of people are like that. Thats because most people aren't really that interested in politics, most people aren't interested in any ideology at all.

You're talking about a very tiny percentage of people who believe 5G is brain control though, so tiny a percentage they're not worth bothering about.

Firstly 'Catholic ideology' doesn't teach that its ok to abuse children. The institute along with the states that pandered to it was incredible corrupt and there were inadequate child protection measures in place. While I wish schools were secular, there are no public schools today teaching the abuse of children.

Secondly, Gript very is pro Catholic and pro the worst types of Catholic, the ultra conservative type that oppose equal rights for women and gay people and artificial contraception. Gript was founded by members of Youth Defense and McGuirk writes for the Irish Catholic

They believe in whatever they can abuse as a tool to get themselves into power and then immediately pull up the drawbridge behind them.

The authoritarian right do not believe in universal human rights. They believe in hierarchies, some classes of people are better than others, and coincidentally believe that they are part of the group that deserves to be treated the best.

Whether they define the split by race, religion or ethnicity, its always a hierarchical split and they believe they need to defend their group against attack from the others so that they can ultimately use their dominant position to control all of the resources for themselves.

Someone should have told the priests.

But most of those people would have a bit right of centre and a bit left of centre. It's rare that someone would have a view farther on the right and a view that's anywhere on the left, or vice versa.

Edit to add: I would be generally left of centre, especially on social views. I'm very much centrist with views on left and right when it comes to economics.

However with all the culture wars stuff in the states, I'd probably be considered a commie "liberal" because the overton window has shifted so far to the right there that centrist is now extreme left.

They are for controlled immigration, which based on popular opinion in Ireland, the far right would not be agreeable to.

But is it stated anywhere that it is okay to abuse children?

Not stated but wasn't exactly harshly discouraged or punished when there were endless cover ups and the moving priests due to "illness" from parish to parish.
