It's been my experience that modern leftists have the disposition of Stalin, the demeanor of a middle school bully, and the temperament of a two-year-old. When they're not outright trying to kill you, they're either calling you names or crying about not getting their way. It's deeply disappointing to realize how effective these bad behaviors have been in bringing the West to heel. It has to be my way!-red-diaper babies deserved a good spanking this last century; instead, they learned that when you whine and stomp your feet long enough, you can poke someone else in the eyes, steal their lunch money, and call yourself the victim.
They preached "tolerance." We "tolerated" their bad ideas. Those bad ideas germinated into the evil we see today. And evil repaid our "tolerance" by setting to work slitting our throats. What's the lesson? Evil will always use good people's virtue against them, and truly good people must find the courage to slam the door on evil before it weasels inside and destroys everything.
Tolerating evil is how we have reached the point today that statues of Thomas Jefferson — a man whose words spread liberty around the world — are being removed from public display because his slanderers find him "oppressive" and "imperial." He fought an empire, risked life and limb for others' freedoms, yet correctly diagnosed that individual rights are key to preventing State-sanctioned evil. If people are seen as interchangeable cogs that may be controlled or discarded according to their usefulness to government power, then a hundred million people can be murdered in half a century in the name of Marx.

How many? All of ‘em.
It’s a Culture of Death.
How many people must be sacrificed before the Left is happy? That question really has no answer. And that’s because Leftists enjoy the process. They enjoy being social justice warriors. And they enjoy the hunt. So they will not stop, ever.
How many people must be thrown into the volcano before the Left is happy?
Hard to tell, that is a moving goal. Right down until there are but two left, and the struggle is then which one will throw the other in.
Last man standing is the winner. Does anyone understand the concept of Pyrrhic victory?
The boot in the face. Forever. The exercise of raw power is the purpose. Everything else is a matter of tactical opportunism. Leftism is not a political program; it’s a moral cancer.
Old-school liberals - and Americans in general - agreed with Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
The Left has now completely abandoned that core principle. Anyone who even slightly offends them is mercilessly persecuted. The old-school liberals should be speaking up against this. But maybe they are afraid to do so. Or maybe there are no old-school liberals left.
The one thing they can all truly agree on.
Many who claimed to be Old School dropped their facades when it became evident they could show their true colors and still retain power
There is huge difference between (classical) liberals and communists.
While classical liberals are tolerant, communists are by definition intolerant zealots. They have never been tolerant.
The problem is not that liberals have changed, the problem is that there are no true liberals left, only totalitarian communists, who sometimes still call themselves liberals, but really prefer to be called progressives. (Only in Marx theories, communists are progressive.)
The answer is 74 million.
And many old school “John Locke” liberals, such as myself, discovered that we are actually conservative.
The only things I was “liberal” about was LIBERTY, including the RIGHT to Keep and Bear Arms.
My philosophy has pretty much always been as follows.
I don’t care where you came from.
I don’t care what you look like.
I don’t care what you think or believe.
I don’t care even what you do or say.
Just don’t compel me by threat of force to honor it, celebrate it, participate in it, or PAY for it.
AND I reserve the RIGHT to speak my mind about it.
The “ time out” and “use your words” generation turned out to be much worse citizens than the “ beat you a$$” generation.. Kids cry because they cant play xbox for the rest of the day. I can remember my mum factory reseting me with a whack to the side of my head, and sometimes if that didnt take or she thought it didnt take I could get a second reset a few minutes later or if I looked at her cross or walked with a stomp.
I think it in the Proverbs: Hell is never full

Secular Humanism

Yup
And if even that failed there was always the dreaded
” Wait till your father gets home!!”
"A. B——v has told how executions were carried out at Adak – a camp on the Pechora River. They would take the opposition members ‘with their things’ out of the camp compound on a prisoner transport at night. And outside the compound stood the small house of the Third Section. The condemned men were taken into a room one at a time, and there the camp guards sprang on them. Their mouths were stuffed with something soft and their arms were bound with cords behinds their backs. Then they were led out into the courtyard, where harnessed carts were waiting. The bound prisoners were piled on the carts, from five to seven at a time, and driven off to the ‘Gorka’ – the camp cemetery. On arrival they were tipped into big pits that had already been prepared and buried alive. Not out of brutality, no. It had been ascertained that when dragging and lifting them, it was much easier to cope with living people than with corpses.
“This work went on for many nights at Adak.
“And that is how the moral-political unity of our Party was achieved.”
A. Solzhenitsyn "The Gulag Archipelago"
At least a 100,000,000 people have been murdered by the socialists and communists and billions enslaved.
Evil does not care how many must suffer.
The answer is: til they are all gone.
In The Magician’s Nephew, CS Lewis describes Queen James (later the Witch of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe). Jadis was the sister of the real queen, and wet to war with her to get the throne. Her sister won the final battle, but Jadis used magic to become queen anyway: she spoke the magic word which would kill every living thing on that planet except herself.
Then she was queen of the planet, and happy.
