The term 'magat' is just so on the nose, no matter how deep you go with the analogy.
A maggot is a mindless sack of flesh that wriggles and writhes all over itself and its neighbors, feeding on a constant diet of rot and decay. And if it survives that stage? It becomes a fly, attracted to steaming piles of shit, regurgitating the same diet that it feeds on just to consume it again, and then buzzing off to distract, annoy, and generally piss off the regular folk who are just trying to get on with their day.
Sorry, but Kahneman1-mind, imprint->reaction mind, including all ideology/prejudice/"religion",
CANNOT solve the problem that Kahneman1-mind created.
Einstein got that right: a different level of mind is required to dismantle the problems created with a particular level of mind.
Cultivating automatic-prejudice against MAGA cult members just polarizes things even more.
Only Kahneman2-mind, considered-reasoning, CAN counter ideology's highjacking-of-the-entire-planet-for-its-tantrum, that it's working-up-to, this decade.
