It's easy to see why people are emotionally
drawn to the ideals of socialism.
It draws on the fundamental motivation of compassion.
Emotional motivations do not require intellect.
They just are.
To enshrine the emotional, and not the intellectual, as the foundation of a political ideology is appealing to the Human beings emotional response mechanism - and not the higher , more recently developed are of the brain, called consciousness and thought.
It's easy to see why gullible people are sold to the ideals of socialism.
The manipulators of men know this.
It requires no intellect, just the rousing up of base feelings.
It's not a coincidence that the artists and thinkers, in recently emerging socialist regimes, were imprisoned or killed.
Intellect and rationality is a threat those wishing to maintain power over a population, one that's been sold on simplistic emotional answers to question that require thought.
It's a low IQ ideology, and is unable to sustain any rigorous examination under the logical microscope of the developed mind..
'The masses' can be easily manipulated and sold on the idea that abdicates to others, the difficult job of actually thinking.
People without the indoctrinated mind of leftist ideology , are not resentful of the success of others.
It requires a victim mentality to even be able to see it in those terms.
Victim mentality is not a psychological position that you are born with - it's one that's shaped within you, by life itself.
It's the result of mal-adaptive responses to what life has presented to you, and it's that which creates the victim mentality.
You hear people talking a lot about inequality but what are they really saying?
Unequal to what, exactly?
Height?
Intelligence?
Athleticism?
We are all a product of a genetic lottery, and it's beyond our control as to what ticket we've drawn.
The concept of equal, in human terms, is nonsensical, philosophically and intellectually speaking.
It cannot exist and there for it is not.
Removing inequality, as an ideological principle, is an emotionally driven argument.
It feels nice, it feels like it should be something to attain to.
How can you ever hope to attain to, to achieve - something that doesn't exist?
Something that doesn't exist and that can be proven - empirically - to be the case?
This is just one example where the leftist, emotionally driven arguments, fall to pieces.
It cannot withstand the scrutiny of logic and reason.
The response from the low IQ left?
.... is to oppress, censor, and kill, anything and anyone, that dares to question it's own idiotic , low intelligence, dogma....(enthusiastically encouraged by their manipulators - who know all this full well - but power is their motivating force - not truth).
Division is essential for the leftist ideology to gain traction.
It's an ideology whose fundamental foundations is based on having a victim.
No victim mentality - means no ideology of envy.
Did you know that people report more about prejudice's against their in group , than they do against themselves, as individuals?
People - by projecting their victim mentality onto a group, are attempting to give an emotionally led perspective an air of intellectual legitimacy.
It must fail of course, as it is illogical - which then, in turn fuels the emotional outrage of 'the victim'...
Low intelligence + emotionally driven arguments = Frustration. (when confronted with intelligence and reason).
While Einstein my be pissed off at not being tall enough to be a basketball player, he doesn't shout about inequality.
He accepts reality.
The low IQ individual - because of their low IQ - cannot confront within themselves this mental honesty.
Instead, it offends his emotionally driven senses of 'unfairness'.
That sense of 'unfairness' can only ever be actualized by someone who holds that victim mentality within their psyche, to begin with.
A sense of fairness - of perceived fairness is an absolutely essential component of a peaceful society.
This attempt to create a sense of fairness in societies, is seen in law and justice systems.
And this is the big difference.
Intelligent constructs in society create a sense of fairness, in the conceptual realm.
Low IQ individuals in society attempt to create a sense of fairness in the material realm. (SJW's)
It a low IQ solution, because it's a low IQ ideology.
It's a very interesting paradox.
The tenants of socialism are based in concept , not reality - but the implementation of these concepts are based in real world activities.
A recipe for disaster, as is seen in all socialist implemented policies.
Free markets and capitalism (real capitalism, not financial parasitism) are based in reality - the real world - and the implementation of it, is not required.
Why?
They already exist without any need to construct anything further.
The concepts of justice and law, are then built on top of this reality.
It's interesting to see the decay of real justice in the west, over his last few decades - as it correlates with the further implementation of socialist policies such as the forced redistribution of wealth...
Principles of justice has been subsumed by 'process' and bureaucracy.
Increasing layers of inefficient bureaucracy is a manifestation of leftist ideology.
Leftism is nothing more than high IQ manipulators, steering low IQ, emotionally led reactionaries in a direction that suits the manipulators.
It's not coincidence that decades of marxist educators, and 'free' higher education in universities worldwide, has borne low IQ individuals into position of influence and power.
This is a prerequisite for the manipulators to succeed.
THEY cannot afford to have intelligent, independent, and free thinking, individuals...
THEY are the emperor with no clothes.
THEY can convince the low Iq, emotionally led sheep that he is, in fact, wearing clothes...
...BUT THE ILLUSION ONLY WORKS IF THERE'S NO ONE IN THE CROWD, POINTING OUT THE LIE.
It's no coincidence that marxist tyrannies killed over 100 million people - dissenters - in the last century.
A person is not stupid - but people are.
Be an individual, think independently - _be your own person, and no longer happy to be emotionally led by the nose, by people who are cleverer than you.
Socialism allows for this happen.
Free market capitalism does not.
It expects independent thought and rational decision making from you.
Free markets and capitalist systems are for the adults in the room - and socialism is for the children who've refused to grow up into adults.
GROW UP.
CLEAN YOUR HEAD.
There is a sense of routine and safety in slavery, danger and uncertainty in freedom. It's the difference between being fed by an owner or having to hunt for your own food. Socialism at its core is cowardice.
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).
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... 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.
...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.
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?😉Just checked out @zyx066 and your comment on his last post. Whoa!
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.
It's good to stand in breadlines though, everyone gets their bread after waiting for 12 hours! lol
@truthforce writing
I suppose it brings 'a community spirit' to things! lol
I use to believe in socialism. but I am educating myself and I am realizing that this exactly how things go bad....
THE VICTIMHOOD MENTALITY TAKING CENTRE STAGE.
Yup - I know that journey myself...
Id like to thank you...you were part of this process.
you and Jordan Peterson
If I really was, then I am indeed humbled.
...and energized by it...
Thank you.
(Although I'd say Peterson was far more responsible for it than myself!)
well...you started the questioning proscess. now there are are some queastions that just seem to be answered.
like when i think about socialism and capitalism... i think about that chess game between kasperov Vs the world. then it dawns to me that that is how decisions are supposed to be made
I don't, i think i may have been born hating on libtards...
lol
Sometimes i fear that you are not working for the greater good...
...your psychological warfare has no effect on me , Mr Vader..
