Is it very Lion for someone to drop a friend for having the wrong opinion? I remember back in college I was getting to know someone in my dorm and she bluntly told me, "If you don't agree with me on [controversial issue] then we can't be friends" and I was very taken aback and offended. I'm friends with plenty of people who I disagree with on various important issues. We just...talk about other stuff. Unless someone is constantly haranguing me about the topic, I don't see the problem. How would the different primaries handle a major disagreement on important values with a friend or loved one?

To be fair, a lot of this is dependent on what the [controversial issue] is. Yes, it’s more common to see Idealists proclaim something as “right” or “wrong” compared to Loyalists, but Loyalists also have morality issues that they will break a friendship over. Snakes, of course, will care about issues that affect themselves and their people, but there are also some Snakes who fill in their morality system with something they’ve constructed to deal with situations that don’t directly affect their people. So, you can have a Snake who feels strongly about issues that their constructed morality system is based on. For Badgers, any issue involving the safety and well-being of the Badger’s communities could be important enough to the Badger that they will avoid people who disagree. Other Badgers may try to avoid connections with people outside of their chosen tribe, so you’ll see Badgers refuse friendship with people of different religious or cultural beliefs—especially if the Badger’s community has deemed these other beliefs immoral.

That said, I agree that the dormmate you met was most likely a Lion. Lions are the most likely to feel something is “wrong” so strongly that they can announce it like she did. They can’t always tell you why it’s “right” or “wrong,” but they know that it is in their bones. They will leave jobs or end friendships over the gross feeling they get by associating with that “wrong.” Nobody else can change their opinion; only the Lion can do that.

Birds, however, would be open to debating the contentious point instead of giving an ultimatum because encountering a differing opinion is a chance to test the Bird’s system. Maybe the debate will bring up a new point they hadn’t considered, something that may sway them into altering their system or something that will reinforce their earlier judgement, supporting their current system.

For Snakes, it depends on how close you are to them. Since you were still getting to know your dormmate, it’s a possibility that you weren’t yet in her circle and this was a part of her vetting process. If you’re outside a Snake’s circle when a controversial issue like this comes up, the Snake can look a lot like an Idealist, either Lion or Bird depending on how they came to believe in what they do. If the belief is a part of their constructed morality system, they’ll look like a Bird and likely want to debate. If the belief is something that has come from the people in their circle, from the Snake’s internal judgement of “I trust my people. What would they do?,” then the Snake will tend to look more like a Lion.

If you are in the Snake’s circle of people and the Snake thinks you’re “wrong” about an issue, they will either avoid the subject with you, connecting with you in other ways, or they will go through the painful process of reassessing whether you still belong in their circle. A lot of this decision is dependent on how much of a threat they think your beliefs are to their people, a sentiment that is also seen in Badgers. Badgers will also simply avoid the subject and continue the friendship if they feel your beliefs pose a low threat to their communities (including the community of “humanity”). If those “wrong” beliefs pose a high threat, then that’s what you become: a threat.

I think you know what I’m about to say next. That last paragraph should sound very familiar to you because, while I agree there’s a decent chance your dormmate was a Lion Primary, I’d say the better odds here are in guessing that you are a Loyalist. Your ability to overlook differing values and concentrate on the other connections you share with your friends, that is more commonly a Loyalist quality (one you and I share). This should make some sense. Idealists care first and foremost about living according to their felt or chosen values, while Loyalists care first about protecting their connections to other people.

Primaries Nonsense

So, today I posted something about the primaries to a popular actress/Warren supporter’s post about something primary related. I didn’t think about it, clearly, because my post was critical of Bernie (and about why I am a Warren-to-Biden voter ... not that it matters because I already voted in my primary). And what started as an attempt to have a civil discussion with a Bernie supporter about my reasoning turned into a dogpile as more and more Bernie supporters took the opportunity to condescendingly tell me that I was either too stupid or too ignorant to be making an informed decision.

This is why I have largely kept my Twitter apolitical (mostly I use it for the fun AITA account, cute animals, and seeing how people are reacting to news stories, that sort of thing).

Now, to be clear, I will vote for whichever old dude wins the nomination (and won’t even be terribly upset either way) but I’ve never in my lifetime seen a politician’s core support base that is SO BAD at trying to get more people to vote for their candidate. I mean, generally I find that if you want someone to do something (like voting for your candidate of choice), being sarcastic, condescending, and even outright mean isn’t really a great way to get them on-board.

NOTE: I know there are many Bernie supporters here on the Tumblr dot com and more power to you, but this post is not an invitation for a debate or an argument. I’ve already voted in my primary so there’s nothing for you to gain other than further alienating me (and others like me) from Sanders. And that is NOT what you want if your candidate wins the freaking primary.

But seriously, does no one remember 2016? The shit show of the convention? “Don’t Boo, Vote” becoming a legitimate slogan in the face of angry disruption on national television? The Bernie bros (and Bernie bots) who spent the entire general election doing everything they could to damage Hillary’s chances? Because I do.

Literally me today every time I got another Twitter notification....
