Saturday schadenfreude: Prog thinks she can change nature: Suddenly (and hilariously) discovers that she can’t
American Thinker ^ | 2 Oct, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

Progressives are by their very nature contemptuous of the natural order of things. Everything can be improved by their superior intellects. By virtue of the purity of their motives and the advanced understanding we have these days, they can impose policies that violate human nature, and, they think, prevail. The Marxists are explicit in their promise that communism will create a “new man” (now updated to read “new person”). Self-interest would no longer operate in the communist utopia that would follow the supposedly transitory period of “dictatorship of the proletariat.” “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” Never mind who chose to lay about and who chose to work hard….

Of course, human nature being immutable, the “vanguard” in charge of the “dictatorship of the proletariat” in every single Communist country has always held onto its own power and privileges and led societies where the gap between the lives of the elite and the masses dwarfed that of any capitalist system. Trying to change human nature – or any other aspect of the natural order (see, for example Lysenkoism) – inevitably produces outcomes that are at best hilarious, and at worst, catastrophic.

It wasn’t broccoli that was offered. It was a salad.

I remember, about forty years ago, some vegans raised their dogs on a vegan diet.
One day while they were gone, the dogs got out, and killed several goats, devouring them.

And the vegans were in agony as to what they did wrong to make their dogs meat eaters.

As I’ve said in the past, all vegetarian (prey) animals have their eyes on the side of their head so they can watch for predators stalking them.

All MEAT EATERS(Predators)have their eyes on the front of their heads to get a 3-D view of their PREY when they stalk them.

Where are YOUR EYES located?

Liberals have a death wish and are too stupid to know it.

It is a setup. It comes from a satire account on Twitter.

At least that’s where I saw it last week.

Dogs are carnivores. They evolved to eat meat. Not dairy products, vegetables, eggs or fish.
