I have set the link to start at the point where Evan really gets going.
Evan Sayet is a genius.
If you have never heard him talk or read his book 'The Kindergarten of Eden' you are truly missing out.
Listen to him and the illogical reasoning of Progressives and political correctness will become clear.
The Laws of Modern Liberalism
1. Indiscriminateness – the total rejection of the intellectual process – is an absolute moral imperative.
2. Indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to indiscriminateness of policies. It leads to siding only and always with the lesser over the better, the wrong over the right, and the evil over the good.
3. Modern Liberal policies occur in tandem. Each effort on behalf of the lesser is met with an equal and opposite campaign against the better.
4. The Modern Liberal will ascribe to the better the negative qualities associated with the lesser while concurrently ascribing to the lesser the positive qualities found in the better.
The Corollaries
1. The Modern Liberal may have personal standards but he must deny them and militate against their use and those who use them in the public arena.
2. Modern Liberals do not and cannot seek to better themselves or society. Instead they must lower others and society to their level.
3. Modern Liberals have secondary policies that are meant only to somewhat mitigate the greater suffering that their primary policies created or exacerbated.
Indiscriminateness- There are no moral absolutes. There is no good or evil. Only differing points of view. If good and evil existed we would have to discriminate between them and discriminating is bad. We would have to judge and being judgmental is always wrong. Values can only ever be the result of an individual's bigotry. Therefore, the bad guy is just misunderstood. The good guys are never really that good. Everything low must be pushed up, everything high must be pulled down, until everything is even. This leads the follower of Indiscriminateness to invariably side with the evil over the good, the wrong over the right, the criminal over the law abiding. They believe it will lead to world peace. Eliminate every reason worth fighting for and all fighting will cease.
In the Cult of Indiscriminateness, there's no difference between the "terrorist" and the "freedom fighter", therefore, the only reason we call George Washington a hero is because he's a white Christian of European descent, and the only reason Yassir Arafat and Saddam Hussein are called villains is beacuse they're darker skinned men of Middle eastern descent.
The elevation of diversity necessitates an increase in that which is rare, and a decrease in that which is common. So, common sense and traditional wisdom are torn down simply because they are common and traditional.
The "Modern Liberal" invariably sides with evil over good, with wrong over right, with behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success.
They are not just wrong sometimes, they are wrong on literally every issue. On foreign policy, domestic policy, on every policy. They are diametrically -- 180 degrees -- opposed to what's right. They are not just wrong, they are wrong as wrong can be.
The problem with saying this is the religion of liberals is that it just isn't true.
Liberals have their own scale for good and evil (though they might not call it that), just as conservatives do. The only difference is what beliefs or actions go into each category.
I don't understand why this is so hard for conservatives to understand. What is PC but an attempt to make holding of evil opinions or their expression socially unacceptable?
Racism, sexism, homophobia. All evil. Those who believe this way must be driven from society, because they are evil.
Thank you for referencing that video servo1969. Please don’t take the folowing critique of the video personally.
While I’ll admit that I’m probably known for my tunnel-vision concerning this issue, the country isn’t going to get turned around, imo, until Constitution-ignorant voters are brought up to speed on the Founding States’ division of federal and state government powers evidenced by the Constituton’s Section 8 of Article I, Article V and the 10th Amendment. And I decided shortly after the video started that Mr. Sayet, like other speakers who know how to appeal to Constitution-ignorant conservatives, was probably not going to mention these statutes. Please note time in video where Mr. Sayet references any of the above statutes if my hunch is wrong.
Tell us more about your final solution for those who dare believe in those things you deem forbidden.
You sound every bit as dangerous as them.
Very strange comment. I merely point out that the claim that liberals view all POVs as equal is manifestly untrue. They just don’t.
Why my pointing out this obvious fact leads you to believe I have a final solution (an obviously loaded term) in mind for those who disagree with me I do not understand.
Excellent, powerful...right!
Sent to all friends.
It was your comment “Racism, sexism, homophobia. All evil. Those who believe this way must be driven from society, because they are evil.”
Sounds like the fascist side of liberalism to me. Perhaps you meant it differently than I read it.
Ahh. That was moi channeling liberals. That’s their POV, not mine.
You had me wondering there for a bit.
