Encountering a certain segment of our society’s acceptance of burning, looting, and execution of the police, not to mention the outrage prevalent when criminals or simple bad actors get their just desserts when police exercise their duty, I have been challenged to find any rhyme or reason to excuse such actions, not only in the permissiveness our leaders attach to such activity, but the actual encouragement they offer. Indeed, you can find many who are so completely invested in this mindset to the point they cannot cope emotionally with any pushback or appeal to traditional law, justice, or morality. Simply put, the traditional moral parameters of good behavior no longer apply.
What’s up with that? The answer may lie in a consideration of the contemporary trends in intellectual thought.
Starting sometime in the 1960s, a concept known as “situational ethics” sought to detach propriety from our traditional Christian mores. For example, when a man, severely abused as a child, finds himself abusing others in later life; how can we judge him by the same values as those righteously raised? Indeed, he labors under a burden, not of his own making, that clouds the difference between right and wrong, that renders him handicapped in ways parallel to those with physical deformities. There is an intellectual price to be paid for such seeming compassion. We have lost what anchors propriety in discarding responsibility.

“Can’t you just help me out this time? It’s a big problem for me. I thought you were my friend. It’s not that big a deal for you.”

“You helped me before. What’s wrong with helping me now?”
Now, they’ve really got you.
“You need to take care of this. Remember how you fixed things for me in the past? Would your wife/kids/Police/boss/friends like to know what you’ve done?”
The great Dr. Savage kind a perfectly when he wrote the book “liberalism is a mental disorder”
Left ism communism is just pure evil
To be a liberal in 2020 and vote with those people and still maintain that you’re a touchy-feely caring person and believe in law and order and things like that means that you are a schizophrenic
The Left isn’t slouching towards Sodom anymore.
Excellent explanation of how we got here.
