Communism is built on deception and lies.

A lot of people have gotten fragile. The collapse of a common culture is part of it, especially since the left’s underlying project is an aggressive campaign to eradicate the traditional culture. The left is now openly hostile to anyone who does not bend the knee.

Social media siloing is a big part of it. Too many people have no idea what the other side is talking about.

But there is a special toxicity to the modern left. This is rooted ultimately in the realization, at some (often unarticulated) level, that it is living a lie. People living a lie cannot tolerate truth tellers. Nor can they take a joke.

From the article:
In my estimation, scientists who believe in God are much more creative intellectuals than their atheistic colleagues. I have long suspected that this is so because the former are certain that there is much that they can never know, while the latter are certain that they will know everything. When one believes that man is master over everything, an intellectual dullness sets in.
There's nothing less intelligent than a person who is certain he is right and everyone else is wrong and inferior. You can see some of that right here on FR. These people do not enter into a debate over ideas; they only lecture.

Those on the Left are unified in their belief that they know the answer, and, in this unified unwillingness even to consider that they might be wrong, they have, intellectually-speaking, run off the road and into the ditch.

Written before they saw the premier episode of Southpark.

In true tradition, they Skewered CBS but the real point of this episode was Trump. And yes, Epstein is part of it.

You can view it on twitter but there are going to be a lot of people here outraged at it.

btw, Cartman tries to kill himself because Woke is Dead but not successful because he didnt use a gas powered car

Here is the PSA for the Trump agreed upon settlement

The irony is that a major theme of this episode was avoiding Trump’s lawsuits. Let’s see what happens lmao. South Park is going for the meta art. Kind of brilliant performance art to see if he proves their point LMAO 😂

Generally unhappy people
Blame external forces yet depend on them too
Hate daddy often
Must always announce their self righteousness
Not curiosity only seeking affirming news from usual places or people
I’ve got a few pals and one cousin like this
I never engage

“We’re old and gonna die soon enough so quit worrying cause those we leave behind can settle this , let’s talk about how we loved summer at the lake 1960s or Christmas at grandmas same period”

Or talk latest classic rock god who died

A factor in the leftist mindset is that they often don’t try to understand other points of view. That’s why discussion is difficult for them. They are easily influenced by people that they admire, and not skeptical of these authority figures. They are not swayed by data or facts, but go solely on feeling.

Two great quotes from Eric Hoffer:

“””People living a lie cannot tolerate truth tellers. Nor can they take a joke.”””

“””In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”””
