they believe they are better than the rest of us
smarter and more deserving also
What we're witnessing is the result of the dumbing down (purposeful) of several generations in our public school system. They've been conditioned to expect to be told what to think, and haven't the foggiest notion that facts are not whatever the government chooses them to be.
As one example, take Zelensky. The Ukraine leader, when he had a good relationship with Trump, was evil incarnate according to all those who would tell the public. Now that he's in charge of a threatened nation, he's another George Washington, at least. Flips in position like that are accepted without a thought, and shouldn't be, but conditioning makes people ready to accept whatever those in power tell them.
My Mom observed over 20 years as an English teacher the dumbing down of the standards and students. When she retired she was not allowed to correct essays for spelling, grammar, punctuation, style, sentence structure. She had to slap an A on every paper, except for the ones she couldn't read. Girls especially like to write in "bubble cursive," where every letter looks like every other letter. Very pretty but impossible to read. Somehow she was allowed to reject those essays and make the students re-write them legibly.
Yes we are dumbing down our populace for the slaughter.
I do have to add the Gulchers here are definitely at the top of the class for excellent usage, even when they slaughter the language deliberately to express satire, turn a humorous phrase, or drop a pun.
Oh, "George Washington Zelenskiy" is spot on, LOL. "Zelenskyy, Zelensky, Zelenskiy" I find different spellings all over the place. Whatever.
However, all that property will remain.
Someone will need to control it . . .
The Leftist, by "virtue" of their superior intellect (they will doggedly work to convince you of this -- consider the refrain "Follow the Science" [TM]) and their very large hearts (They Care [TM] more than you) will insist that they will control the property and disposition of the resources.
Socialism, and by implication, Communism, only appears to "work" until you have either destroyed or paralyzed other people's property.
The whole thing is a downward spiral into dependency and degradation.
The Leftist is so intoxicated on envy and the desire for the control of others that they will follow that spiral to their own doom, much in the manner of a junkie.
An individual that owns their own life (Libertarian, Capitalist, Individualist) needs to stand up to their nonsense and refuse to comply. Better still, for Individuals to coalesce in the fight against the envy-intoxicated dogma by showing up at City Council, Planning, School Board meeting and work to turn the tide against the onslaught of insanity.
A bunch of idiots singing "Imagine," not knowing the heart of the lyrics are lifted right out of the Communist Manifesto.
"No countries, no religion, no money, nothing to fight or die for, a Brotherhood of Man." Marx.
Sorry Beatles fans if I'm trashing your band, and fond memories. But The Beatles were a Communist virus. Far more deadly than a biological weaponized virus.
The DNA of Communism has spilled into the minds of the social "scientists" in the Universities and they are replicating out copies of little angry Communists. Legions of useless idiots with immense debt and useless degrees. As they work at menial labor, or no labor, their anger and resentment and sense of injustice magnifies. These kids are going to be a problem. They are going to eat the elderly. Already you've seen that T-shirt they wear, "OK Boomer."
History, Communist history, repeats itself. Thanks to the Communists in Universities NOT teaching Russian history and the awful things that happened there. Gulag Archipelago should be required reading. Right after reading Engels and Marx.
Engels=Capitalism sucks.
Marx=Utopian solution.
Solzhenitsyn=Communism really sucks I lived in a gulag!!!
I challenge anyone to read the book it is a 1,800 page scream against Communism.
I started reading The Gulag Archipelago from a downloaded PDF a few months ago. Yes. It should be required reading -- then discussed and its implications understood.
That's part of the drug crisis. People are waking up and not liking the nightmare of choices they made. So they want to go back to sleep. China is willing to help infentanylize them.
Babies sucking on fentanyl tabs and alcohol and vape pens. Anything but to admit, I'm an ass, I sold my soul to the Commie University, they made me into a financially indentured slave, and I have nothing to show for it but this T-shirt! Whiskey helps!
Postmodernism is the gateway drug to Marxism. Once you pummel an idiotic college student in the grievance studies department with the moral relativism and lack of absolute truth asserted by postmodern thinking, you've softened them up so badly they'll eat shit and call it a gourmet brownie. These college students are so pampered and isolated from brutal reality that they are easily manipulated into hating everything that is good and willing for it to be torn down out of basic human jealousy.
Professors are war criminals. They plant the seeds of war in the minds of youth. Study Chemistry, Medicine, Math, Bricklaying. Don't study the Grievance Studies. All you get is debt, jealousy and destructive anger. Generations of stupid students voting for their own destruction.
Professors are war criminals. I like that statement.
Leftists are also LAZY - they believe that they shouldn't have to work to earn what they consume but that someone else should labor on their behalf to support them. They inherently seek a return to feudalism - or even outright slavery - and the complete destruction of the middle class.
Leftists do NOT believe in human rights or equal rights. They believe in the power of the aristocracy and that having power gives them automatic moral license to use that power however they choose. They also frown on the concept of personal responsibility because that would mean that their actions would have consequences - and leftists wildest dream is to divest consequence from choice.
It is all vainglory. Such a mindset requires a complete abandonment of reality - including critical thinking and logic. This results in their being unable to rationally function - including putting forth rational arguments. Their attempts to blame others for what they view as undesirable consequences stems from their irrational desire to divorce cause and effect and usually results in the type of behavior like temper tantrums we normally see in three-year-olds.
Furthermore, the abandonment of rational thought also comes with increasing self-deception, as this is the only way they can psychologically deal with the dichotomy between their delusions and the reality which forcefully intrudes upon their daydreams. They refuse to accept the fact that truth IS - and can not be wished away simply because it is inconvenient to a life based on passing pleasures.
Absolutely. They take no responsibility. I think one of the best words that belongs under the class Conservative, is Responsibility.
I'll risk entering the abortion debate. Divesting consequence from choice is the exact heartbeat of the abortion argument. "I do not have to be responsible for my choices." That's what pro-choice means. "I can voluntarily have sex, get pregnant by accident, then change my mind and choose to shit the baby down the sewer. I get to be irresponsible. There are no consequences for my behavior."
When you're waving signs or screaming or rioting in a mob, you can divorce yourself from all of the consequences of your actions. It's a perfect environment for being irresponsible. Human beings generally don't behave their best when in mobs. Japan is an exception, they have high discipline and cohesiveness (and extremely low diversity.) When the government says put on a mask, they all do it instantly and no one fights, they just move onward and get along and help each other. I'm not supporting the Maskocracy, I'm just pointing out it's rare to get people to agree in a Diverse situation. Conformity and Diversity don't mix.
That's a good formula for insanity. Democrats want everyone to Conform to their world view. And they want Diversity. Shoving a 3 inch peg in a 1 inch hole. Idiots.
Sharing is good, right? So we will legislate sharing (the govt will ensure that there is sharing)...
Health care is a human right? The level of idiocy in these people is shocking... or mildly so at this point in time.
It will be interesting to see how things mete out over the next 18 months or so -- with the food shortages due to "The War" and the lack of fertilizer components... and see how these Lefties handle real deprivations.
But Democrats are sneaky. That's why they came up with Political Correctness. What a big fat lie. A Democrat is politically correct. A Republican is...Republican. That is such a quarterback sneak. There's a passage in the Koran. Paraphrasing, "A Muslim may not lie to another Muslim. But a Muslim may lie to a non-Muslim. Never trust a Democrat. You never know if they are Closet Communists or reasonable Liberals. Are t here any reasonable Liberals remaining? (I was gonna say left, lol)
The Democrats, however, are never content to just vote and get on with things. They are little evil elves banging on doors and writing books and papers every damned day.
Conservatives can't escape politics without a Gulch anymore. Every passing moment the Communists are chopping and hacking away at our country. While Conservatives sleep. We are late to their game, we have to fight back somehow. I don't think being a silent majority that votes every 2 years will cut it anymore. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Listen to those Democrats squeak through their electric squeakaphones.
History has shown that those who supported and fought for the leftists were the first ones to be eliminated or neutralized via gulags etc.
The new powers will not want to have anyone around who may challenge them in the future.
Useful idiots do not survive very long in a new regime.
Sadly many Republicans are little more than watered downed Democrats and are willing to compromise on anything in order to not face the push back from the Left.
...enter...
Postmodernism! That's Communism on steroids. Think Deconstructionism. I call it Destructionism. You could call it Critical__Theory. Fill in the blank with anything you want to destroy.
Leftists are sneaks. They can't say what they want out loud.
-- Michael Savage
He even gave a tongue in cheek biochemical reason.
Vegetarians and vegans are usually Democrats. They do not eat enough essential amino acids no matter how carefully they arrange their meals to have a "complete protein." They lack in Tryptophan, which converts to 5-hydroxy-tryptophan in the stomach, which goes into the brain and becomes 5-hydroxy-tryptamine which is:
Serotonin.
The feel-good neurochemical. It's no wonder these idiots are mentally ill. We could cure the disease of Liberalism by feeding them all some steak, chicken or fish. Force-feed them like a vaccine mandate. For their mental health. Save billions on mental healthcare costs.
The image of exercising a mandate ... force-feeding the Libs on red meat. Thank you for that image.
I get liberals often telling me that The Gulag really didn't happen that way, it's propaganda. A Jewish friend tells me this. I told him the Jewish Holocaust never happened, that was all propaganda too. He hemmed and hawed. NYT reader, no wonder.
Advice, don't bang your head against a leftist. (A wall, it just hurts your head.)
I believe socialism and communism are evil, biblically so, as they each remove free will and self determination.
It is also said, and I find that it applies well, that "the definition of insanity is to try the same thing over and over again and expect a different result each time."
Yeah insanity.
They want to make everyone equal (except themselves), but never take into account we are all different and the only place all mankind is truly equal is in the graveyard. Socialists/Communists, whenever they get control, begin making people prematurely "truly equal" in the name of the people, of course.
Their real motto: "Communism for thee, but not for me."
One for you, three for me.
One for you, four for me...
It is good to be the one who counts the bread. It is bad to be the one in the bread line.
What idiot aspiring Communist thinks about this?
