REBELS always say that conservatives are conformist, predictable, unoriginal, and that they are only trying to get approval from authority.
But rebels derive their identity from the actions of the perceived authority just as surely as any conformist. Think about it thoroughly.
Whatever actions, etc. that the authority commands people do, rebels do the opposite. Whatever actions, behavior, etc. the authority forbids people from doing, rebels do just that.
All they ever do is complain about Christianity and what it does to people. They define their own [[[identity, perception of self___]]] in terms of how they rebel against Christianity. To what extent or degree do they rebel against Christianity? In how many different ways do they rebel against Christianity?
Like Tori Amos. Okay, so honey, do you have any actual identity of your own? Or do you simply look at___ like bill Maher and his atheist libertarian friends. They derive their sense of self-worth by the degree to which they reject Christianity. Their persona is innately tied to the identity that Christianity has already forged for them.
((just realized, this would be excellent bridge from rebels -to- atheists))
If they really do dance to the beat of their own drum, if they really don't care what anyone else thinks of them, then why do they complain that conservatives are so judgmental?
Ha! Rebels LOVE the strict domineering authority figures. Without authority figures, there would be no rebels.
For where would rebels derive their identities if not for the existence of authority?
In case anyone hasn't noticed, rebels' identity revolves solely around their reaction___
Their view of themselves orbits their perception of the proximity of authority figures.
it is a direct inverse-proportionate relationship___
Whatever a rebel does, it is always in exact reaction to___ Therein lies my point. It is a reaction only. no taking action on your own, no personal responsibility, no telling oneself, that if you want to change the world
It is merely a reaction to what someone else is already doing. Not taking initiative to solve your own damn problems. No examining your own life to see if you are really doing what is best for yourself___
Nope. It is as simple-minded as seeing what "they" are doing, and then doing the opposite.
There is no capacity for critical thinking. They do not use reasonable logical reasoning; they do not try to extrapolate what the conclusions would be for a particular choice.
They are but exactly still stuck in the mindset of the silly rebellious teenager who has no real power over his/her own life.
