Too late. They already did.

I’ve been saying the same thing for years.

The progressives DO NOT TRUST other people, because they don’t trust themselves.

Capitalism is an nature extension of human nature and requires a great deal of faith in your fellow man. For the progressive that has no moral foundation they see capitalism as evil because they themselves are, not necessarily evil, but are extremely selfish.

Righto.

I’ve been thinking for years that there is a very simple explanation for the leftist/liberal hysterical reaction to the evidence that black Americans are on average about 15 points lower on the IQ scale than white Americans.

In their hearts, they believe more intelligent people ARE better than less intelligent people and the low-IQ group should have their rights restricted. Therefore if blacks do indeed have lower average IQs, it would be proper to treat them differently.

This of course means they really believe low-IQ people of whatever race are worth less as people than high-IQ people, even if they won’t admit it.

Personally, I’d prefer to take my stand on the principle that IQ does not determine a person’s worth. My sole trip to a Mensa meeting demonstrated that pretty clearly. From my perspective, it doesn’t matter if black people have lower IQs, on average, since that doesn’t determine their worth anyway.

What’s SWPL?

1. Make everyone's health a matter of everyone else's business, i.e. Obamacare.
2. Badger, tax and/or force everyone into living "healthy" lifestyles, e.g. fat taxes, smoking restrictions, beverage size restrictions, required medical screenings, drug testing, etc.
3. Declare that people must be as mentally fit as they are physically fit to reduce insurance costs.
4. Criminals are by a liberal's definition not mentally fit, so force all criminals (even if most of them are from minority populations) to take prescribed medications (thorazine) or prescribed medical operations (partial lobotomies) to correct their criminal attitudes.

By this process liberals can get to their utopia without being labeled racist. They're just concerned about the health of their fellow Americans and trying to keep medical expenses affordable.

A prediction: The first large-scale, mandatory “sterilization for welfare” program will be proposed, framed skillfully in the garb of slippery sophistry and blame redirection, by a SWPL leftoid, and advocated by a SWPL leftoid message machine. You read it here.

This thought is PRECISELY the one that spawned the "progressive" movement in the early 20th century. It is a source of amazement to me that blacks now embrace the very dogma and principles that were birthed to end the black race.

And yes, I meant "end" as in genocide. Every one of today's "progressives" stands with his feet firmly planted in soil fertilized with blood shed by the Ku Klux Klan, and looks out over the population of never born black children whose lives were snuffed out in the "progressive" Planned Parenthood's genocidal pogrom against Blacks.

This has to be the grandest case of Stockholm Syndrome in the history of the world.

The progressive aka leftoid harbors deeply troubling thoughts
Exactly. When it comes to racism, methinks they protest too much. They would rather engage in projectionism than confront their own deep-seated racist attitudes. I witnessed this mindset back in college. White student activists thinking they were above it all,acting as if they "felt the pain" of the "minorities", pretending to be "down for the struggle". I wish I had them under surveillance during a typical Saturday night of partying. When the brewskis flowed and the doobies passed around, thst's when they let their, pardon the pun, TRUE COLORS show. In vino veritas, indeed!

I notice that many strain with the concept of utilitarianism, because as a fundamental concept it applies to the function of things, not people. With things, it has a logic, such as a Phillips screwdriver is better at turning Phillips head screws than is a dime.

Any pleasure derived is from the ends, that is, successfully inserting or removing a Phillips screw, and a conservation of energy in doing so.

But with people, complexity soon fouls up the idea, because people have too many variables. So it either turns into an effort at social engineering, which fails; or hedonism, unable to see the consequences of your actions.

Both of these things start from the assumption that the things people do today, such as morality, are just social contrivances of no real value. And this is a huge failing of the left.

They just don’t grasp that if people have been doing something for several thousand years, that there might be a *reason* for their doing it, even if it is not obvious.

That is, morality *is* utilitarian, because it has a very valid function. It is *better* than immorality or amorality. Not just for the individual, but for their descent, and likewise also for society.

To arrogantly assume otherwise is to pretend that you are smarter than hundreds of generations before you. Leftists do this all the time.
