Joining the armed right relieves the psychic burden of factual accountability

Evidence

Still, it strikes me that it must be liberating, after living so long in opposition, then so long in humiliation, to finally be on the side with so few facts and so very many guns. — Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 1014

Categorization

• DEEPTHINKING: This is the rare sentence that condenses the entire Mirror World thesis into an affective proposition: the right offers freedom from facts themselves. It resists one-sentence paraphrase because the claim is that liberation-from-facts is a real psychological good the left cannot offer.
• XREF: Tunes with the book’s earlier account of conspiracy as metabolic freedom from liberal self-doubt; also resonates with the intellectual dark web’s anti-‘woke’ demand to be released from factual constraint.
