>>713161in pop culture, lizards are said to not have emotions, they aren't only physically, but metaphorically, cold blooded
right-wingers don't believe in materialism, this is, they do not think material interests exist. so when reality confronts them with people that are very ostensibly just representing the cold and unemotional interests of capital (profits as the only end goal and metric, personality as a PR avatar, scripted and predictable social interactions, etc.) their only way to rationalize it is…. reptilian shapeshifters
the poster above mentions climate change. they can't conceive that, even if they were to acquire the glasses from "they live" and proceeded to purge all the lizard people from positions of authority - what would happen the day after? do you think oil companies would stop drilling and financing libertarian think-tanks after the change in management? no, because they would go broke and be replaced by some other company that emulated their now-gone lizard overlords
