Sounds like you got it nailed much better than I did.
Oh, no. You pegged the "school of fish" mentality perfectly. The Left loves compliant people, unquestioning simpletons who chant the party line between bong hits. They LOVE the notion of peer pressure; why own the sheep when you can own the shepherd?
My question was how do they create that peer pressure to begin with? And it seems to me they tore down the old values then slipped in a fake, superficial set while we were scrambling to fix the old ones.
The antidote to their poison is Truth. Their ideas don't work. They spawn horrible consequences -- some intended, some not -- which the creators ignore as they go on to their next crusade.
Hold them accountable. Demand answers to their failures. HAUNT them with their failures. Remind them every day in every public venue how badly they've botched everything they've touched. It won't stop them, but it will deny them exclusive use of the hall.
In other words, use their own herd mentality against them. Nobody wants to be thought stupid. And to embrace a discredited, outmoded, duplicitous ideology is not only stupid but dangerous.
By the way, Zoidberg is my favorite Futurama character.
