I want to start by saying I share your frustration with leftwingers. They are utterly brainwashed and programed to believe only mainstream media. At this point in time I'm convinced they pose the biggest threat to society there is, aside from the government itself.
I'm surprised to see in the comments that you were a liberal yourself. I too "made that journey". Quite a mind-blowing trip it was! But when I look back at what I believed (for decades!) I don't see a victim mentality as the underlying conditioned response. I don't see myself any lower IQ than I am now.
I believed then and still believe liberals aspire to the highest ideals. That is how those in power manipulate them. This is how I looked at the issues:
environmentalism vs corporate greed
open borders vs anti immigration measures
providing for the poor and struggling vs not giving a crap.
You get my point. The narrative used our desire to care for others and for the environment to mean "empower government". And the narrative is designed to trigger emotion, but our highest emotions as to what we want to see the world become.
The problem is, no matter how often the government fails to deliver, they cannot see that the (often disastrous) outcome is, in fact, the one those in power intended. So they keep coughing up more and more tax dollars convinced the government is the solution instead of seeing the obvious truth: GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM.
I know how frustrating it's become in this time of "social responsibility". Where people are made to feel virtuous for wearing a surgical mask in the grocery store, and I'm not mentioning the hate and intolerance they are clearly capable of, paradoxically, along side of their "high ideals".
But whatever the underlying issues are, we do have to unite as a society now more than ever. It's not right against left, it's all of us against those abusing power. The good news is, the more our suppressors march forward with their draconian plan for world domination, the more leftists will have to wake up to that cold hard reality. Let's hope it's in time to put an end to it.
Good post, well written, well thought out. Always fun to join in a rant against liberals:D
Cheers,
It's not left v right - it's statism v liberty
....but the current vocal push is from the leftist useful idiots (at the moment).
See @zyx066 as the perfect example of this and check out my comments that he keeps censoring!lol ...Oops -I just posted a comment there.
Why encourage this mental illness through up voting such posts, is beyond me.(and a very pertinent question if you truly care about people)
....I never down vote on principle - everyone has the right to be heard - but rewarding people for incoherence (and increasingly psychological self harm), is tantamount to psychological abuse, imo...
...the more leftists will have to wake up to that cold hard reality. Let's hope it's in time to put an end to it.
Delusion is a hard nut to crack, when you have the intelligent manipulators pushing the delusion.
Reality will crack it sooner or later - but it's gonna be awfully painful, psychologically speaking , for them..
Good comments, sir - I appreciate the input.
Just checked out @zyx066 and your comment on his last post. Whoa!
No fear that I would upvote, but he does sound sincere, does sound a lot like me in my youth. Though I hope I would engage instead of deleting you comments. Perhaps he tried and it didn't go well?😉
IDK what to say to them other than "the government is never the solution. It's the problem!" They project their ideal image of what society should be on the government, and it couldn't be more sadly misplaced.
