The real war isn’t red v blue, or dem v pubbie, or socialists v capitalists, or us against them...
It’s Control Freaks v Freedom Lovers. Everyone gravitates toward one or the other (although there are many sheep).
Control Freaks are driven by internal fear—a mental illness—and they never, ever give up. They are driven to control everything around them, and even though their rationalized schemes always fail, it does not matter. Control for control’s sake is what they crave. Morning, noon, at night, in their sleep and dreams, they never stop.
Whereas Freedom Lovers usually just say, “leave me the hell alone,” and go about their business.
On the left, they couch if in phrases such as, “doing it for the public good.” In fairness, there are some on the right, though usually they mask it behind religion.
It must be called out for what it is. Making people aware of the never-stop Control Freaks, calling them out for it, labelling them. Pointing out their actual motives. That’s how to defeat them.
Because nobody likes a Control Freak.
Very astute observations.
I might add that we are witnessing a wave of mental illness sweeping our society.
It seems that millions have lost the ability to process facts with reason. These same people tend to have a highly inflated view of their own intelligence and morals.
