Our Primitive Friends of the Left

I was going to write about the staggering amounts of money the Feds are spending on fighting the Wu Flu War. But when the numbers for March came out on the Treasury MTS on Friday the result was bupkis. See for yourself at my new Coronavirus COVID-19 page at usgovernmentspending.com. Oh, the federal debt went up by $370 billion last month, but that happens all the time. And with 30-year Treasuries yielding 1.35 percent, who’s complaining except widows and orphans?

So, let’s talk instead about our liberal friends blaming President Trump. Two months ago, they were blaming him for acting too soon. Now they are blaming him for acting too late.

How can we understand this remarkable fact, aside from Hegel’s notion that opposites are equal?

The answer, my friends, lies in the soil, or rather Mircea Eliade’s The Myth of the Eternal Return. He writes:

The primitive... cannot conceive of an unprovoked suffering; it arises from a personal fault... or from his neighbor's malevolence... but there is always a fault at the bottom of it[.]

Do I need to translate? Here goes. The Gentry Liberal cannot conceive that “stuff happens.” Poverty, disaster, climate change must issue from “hate” -- corporatist racist sexist homophobic climate-denier, you name it. There is always some white supremacist patriarch at the bottom of everything.

Of course, there is, because that’s how the primitive mind works. Someone, whether it’s a white man or Old Scratch himself, is to blame.

Okay, now you go and explain this to the nice liberal lady up the street with a #WeBelieve sign in her yard. You tell her that her “Science is Real” thingy is baloney because Uncertainty Principle.

In the case of NY after trump started making decisions to lock down travel and take measures we have Cuomo and deblasio and debalsio’s health commissioner along with Pelosi telling people to go about their business, typical flu season, ride the trains and busses have diner with friends see a show and visit the Chinese festival. Where is the responsibility here for this? front line politicians telling their people its fine. This is criminal negligence and the result? NY became the epi center with 10,000 dead. 10,000 dead that are at the feet of Cuomo and deblasio

Precisely.

And now Cuomo is trying to act all presidential, as if he was out ahead of this virus crisis in his state. A first he was thanking Trump profusely for his help, after getting caught with his britches down, and now he is acting like the whole thing is Trump's fault for not saving his lame ass earlier.

Exactly the kind of liberal sentiment the author of this piece is talking about. Liberals have to blame someone, anyone but themselves when anything goes wrong society.

They don't have the guts or intellect to take responsibility themselves when things going wrong.

Leader, like Trump, take action. Losers like Cuomo look around for who to blame.

I find it’s easier to just to think of leftists as neanderthals and leave it at that. They aren’t exactly known for being above average intelligence; otherwise they wouldn’t be leftists.
