ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Leftists love fear.
In a choice between persuading by logic and pressuring by fear, leftists will go for fear every time. Why? It’s the go-to motivator for the nonthinking crowd.
It’s the means of moving mountains without having to do all that hard thinking stuff. Or more to point, it’s the means of moving mountains without giving opportunity for the masses to do all that hard thinking stuff. Quick, do as you’re told — no time to think!
So it goes with the coronavirus, and how the Democrats in positions of power across the United States have managed to keep free citizens in shutdown mode — by catering to the nonthinking squawkers who are blown this way and that, all by fear.
So it goes with social media, and how the petulant progressives and whiny snowflakes and secular socialists and all those of that lower-to-zero thinking class ilk have managed to censor conservative speech — by demanding the removal of all countering opinions that might put a dent in their delicate delusions and force a reevaluation that circles back to, once again, that hard thinking stuff.
It’s all about the fear.
Generate enough fear and there’s no end to what might be accomplished. Changed. Reformed.
Destroyed.
Leftists use fear to accomplish their political and cultural goals because they themselves are driven to act by fear. They know firsthand the power of fear. They fear countering viewpoints — so they move to shut down countering viewpoints. Want a face to go with that? An image to drive home the point? Jack Dorsey on Twitter suffices. Jack Dorsey on Twitter, and all those suffering tweeting trolls who spend far too much time looking for the next post to hate. To fear. To cry for censor.

Perhaps. But, capitalizing on GREED is the Communists/Marxist greatest weapon. It was stated decades ago that “we will sell them the rope we will hang them with.” Or, something very close to that. And, unfortunately, decades later it appears they may be correct.
We need a full investigation about testing and deaths.
Both are being used to run this nation like cattle into
an execution chute.
I’m not confident in the testing, the numbers of deaths,
and the lock-downs.
When Musk got his several tests and they were both
positive and negative, it was a wake-up call.
To date I haven’t heard of any evaluation as to why that
took place.
Why not. It needs to happen!
These days the communists greatest weapon is money, and the politicians and corporate greed for it over their own nation.
The Soviets were taken down, why not the CCPians, the bosses of American leftists, too?
CDC said today deaths are over 500,000 right now.
Did the CDC say “one upon a time before they said that”?
Once we start hunting them for fun and sport, that attitude will change very quickly.
Drive a Subaru, Honda CRV, or a Prius? Change vehicles now.
On a short term basis their greatest weapon seems to be fear+election theft=commies
They had their fingers crossed.
Not in our lifetime will it happen.
Truth only comes out when it no longer matters nor can be used to convict the guilty.
Respects
Fear, yes.
Along with hatred, violence, lies, and lawlessness.
These are the sources of power for the left.
These five, and that’s it.
You might say that these are ideologies which enable and applaud evil.
You might even say that they are inspired and empowered by Satan.
And at that point you'd be exactly and precisely correct.
I know what you mean.
“Our chief weapon is surprise... surprise and fear... fear and surprise... our two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to Karl Marx!”
Noooooobody expects....
Easy,
Because Fear of loss is a greater motivator than the opportunity to gain.
Indeed. We're seeing that right in front of our very eyes, today.
Example: the word "hydroxychloroquine" is almost banned from public discourse, while "social distancing" and "face covering" are worshipped.
But of course it's the thoughts behind the words - the pseudo-reality, the cult - that must be propped up with force.
Communists and assoc., being full of envy, use it to divide people against each other. Church Fathers combine egotism, selfishness, jealousy, greed, covetousness and resentment into the concept of envy.
