The opposite of a liberal (Enlightenment thinker, not lefty) is a #troglodyte (cave dweller, ala the Allegory of the Cave). Not a careful media consumer or critical thinker. Someone unwilling to engage with HQ criticism from other perspectives. Kinda an NPC or sheeple but w/o any ideological or partisan spin. And it implies the ability to change, to leave the cave. Not dumb, but some combination of being unaware they're misinformed or too scared/lazy to challenge their own biases. #LiberalValues

I'm so in tune with your thinking. Just the other day, I was telling folks here I'm sick of learning new things. I taught entry level tech after leaving the Army. It was great: now I'm done, too. Enough! Might we need to start a #troglodyte club?

He says he don't believe in science
He thinks that all the news is fake
And late at night he sits on his computer
And writes about the things he hates

But if it was a million years ago
And we were still living in caves
You would not be welcomed by the other apes
'Cause you evolved a bit too late

You ain't no ape you're a #troglodyte
You ain't no ape you're a troglody-ay-ay-yte
Yeah
you're a troglody-ay-ay-yte
Yeah
you're a
yeah
you're a
troglodyte

@thinkStory @Mountaineerdave Same! Life changed! I was worried I’d get dragged for being a #technological #troglodyte but #Mastodon proves, once again, (commas intended because I turned off auto-punctuation!) that it is a kind, caring, and helpful #community and not populated by trolls. 😌🥰☺️

"The truth is there is nothing else for him. The world has moved on. He is unelectable in his own seat and the only way back into politics is to be dropped into the upper house. It is a near perfect metaphor for the Liberal Party’s inability to understand that the country does not want the politics it is pushing, does not want the division and the climate scepticism and the appeals to basest fears." #tonyabbott #tory #monarchist #troglodyte #lnp #auspol https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/2023/01/21/the-lizard-faced-emperor#mtr

Now that I have decided to stick around awhile. A little background. Spent the first 40 years in #Seattle. The past 38 in #Taiwan. Import wine to Taiwan from Europe and live in a cave in the Loire valley (I'm a real #troglodyte) when I am in France

@jerrylearnswine This winery has a couple of vineyards on a hill directly above my cave in Montrichard. I am truly a #Troglodyte. Their winery used to be about 200 meters from the cave but they moved the winery in early 2017 (IIRC). #wine

@MFWitches what a sick fk that man is. #Troglodyte
