it’s based on the human and each individual human life/will as sacred with no overarching source of order, it’s the “secular humanism” we’d been warned about since the 1980s and the countermeasure is enforced nihilism, chop chop

Been increasingly often seeing lefties claiming righties are “denying the humanity” of some people or “not seeing [them] as human” and righties being honestly baffled, like “yeah, they’re human, what… else would they be?”
More and more I’m thinking the lefties see humans as sacred, and internalizing this belief so thoroughly as to consider it a universal fact, so that if they see someone treating people as profane that’s the interpretive frame they go for?
The righties, of course, are divided between a religious camp that identifies the sacred as something external and superior to humanity, and a growing camp of seculars that’s not humanist but Nietzschean, which depending on how you take it has no “sacred”, or identifies it with the strong few aristocrats able to impose their wills on the world
Which is to say that I guess the 80s-90s religious warnings that a threatening rival religion of “secular humanism” was on the rise were… right? Maybe masked by the fact that the humanist and Nietzchean and remnant Freudian streams weren’t clearly distinguished yet?
