...and certainly on different parts of the internet.
Helpful article. But it’s easier to summarize than that. Liberals are emotionally immature. Stuck in a 9-13 year old view of the world around them,but less charming than your average middle schooler.
They would need to stop talking first.
The ears and the mouth can’t be used at the same time.
I would argue that more often than not, the underlying motivation for Liberals is primarily self serving, rather than any type of altruism.
Example: charity is great and should be encouraged ( to the point of being compulsory), as long as someone else is paying for it.
Taking your point a bit further.
Reading a typical DU Thread you see the OP’s opinion, then followed by a string of other DU’ers slavishly agreeing with and reinforcing it without dissent.
On FR, no matter the original OP’s viewpoint there is a certain segment who agree completely, but there is also discussion and in many cases disagreement of parts or even all of the OP.
Leftists/Marxists are ideologues. They are brainwashed so there is NO understanding of anything outside of their paradigm/worldview.
The ex-KBG, Yuri Bezmenov in youtube videos in the early 80s explained how brainwashing literally fixes the brain—wires it so that only emotions control the person. Reason is completely ejected and so when exposed to truth and facts, cognitive dissonance will result every time. Their emotions will block all reason. (which is the design of brainwashing).
Our schools are brainwashing into irrationality (emotions) today. The emotions are artificial (engineered) and unnatural always. All Classical Christian curricula was banned long ago—which gives the mind/child the ability, the tools, to “think for themselves”. Now, skools just condition children so they associate emotions with concepts, like babies (evil/destroy environment/worthless/killable), white men “evil”, oppressors, sodomy “love”, etc.
So negative emotions will always surface when looking at white males and it will be almost impossible to eject. The submerged negative emotions (always irrational) planted in young children are almost impossible to eject. Children will have a warped sense of Reality and can never be objective.
Schools put in the total conditioning system in USA by 1970. Earlier in Europe/Germany. It is the only thing they have had in China since Mao. (One Way to “think” only which is never “thinking”). With Common Core we have completed the ambitions of the evil communist John Dewey to totally destroy free will in children and deform (evolve) them into happy slaves of the State (useful idiots).
Marxism is total removal from Truth (God), Reason and Natural Law (common sense/logic).
Yes. You still need to color within the lines on FR, but at least they are not so ridiculously narrow.
Swamps are full of alligator all mouth and no ears.
Being generous with their vote is a core aspect of progressivism at the present time.
In the past I’ve pointed out how badly our modern society has missed one critical aspect of A Christmas Carol.
Scrooge, you see, has mainly the annyance with those who seek to gain from him voluntary donations to their charities, yet he obviously accepts the validity of them as organizations ... that the care for humanity is one given to organizations (and this not to individuals). He is simply one who has learned all too well the lessons of his culture.
What Scrooge has to learn is that humanity is his business, not that he should pawn it off on different sorts of organizations than had been known.
Remember the common assertion on the left, down through the years, that charity is inadequate?
Well, consider that if what you take away from A Christmas Carol is not so much that you should personally be about caring for your fellow man but that a different sort of charity is what is needed, one with much deeper pockets because of the power to tax, and which can be ministered professionally rather than by well intentioned amateurs.
This last is the lesson that progressives have learned.
Charity is inadequate not because it actually is inadequate (19th century urban England isn’t necessarily the best reference point) but because it doesn’t have the assured access to the taxes. People’s participation being voluntary is what makes it inadequate.
Scrooge, as reformed, doubtlessly helps a number of people but the limitations for funding institutional charity are no more addressed than if he’d never been reformed at all. Scrooge is a blip, a hiccup, and the men of good intention are still frustrated to raise money elsewhere it can be implied.
Ah, but let do-gooding TAKE from the public purse, make supporting it mandatory so that everyone proverbially (as least) gives at the workplace, and it is “adequate” because no one can refuse anymore.
Adequacy, and inadequacy, are then about funding and removing the voluntary aspect of it and not the results. They are a mirror image of Scrooge, assured about how much kinder their institutional systems are yet still sold out on the view that in the end humanity is someone else’s business and their part is just to vote for the right sort.
It is perhaps the oldest watershed in politics: the polity breaks down into people who only want to be left alone and people who don't want to let them alone. It is only the former who are capable of understanding the other; the latter already have their minds made up.
They are impossible to reason with. I don’t even bother.
As soon as I saw the words “personal blog” in your post, Humblegunner came to mind. I swear he has some sort of automated sniffer program that searches them out and auto responds.
Either that or no day job. :)
Taken to it's logical end, that's how fights (wars on a macro scale) begin.
Thus the description “Humblegunnered”. He’ll mow you down. LOL
“It’s going to take real relational outreach on our part, in other words.”
Notice the burden is always on us.
The burden is always on the adults to teach children.
for later
