Leftism is a death cult
PJ Media ^ | 11/16/2024 | C.A. Skeet

Posted on 11/17/2024 9:43:09 AM PST by NetAddicted

When the TikTok freakout videos first started being posted the morning after the election, showing assorted leftists in various stages of post-election mental breakdown, I was initially amused. Here, I thought, were the usual pampered, suburban brats throwing tantrums because the world doesn't look like their living room. They did the same thing in 2016. They'll get over it.

Then a couple days went by, and my bemusement faded into annoyance. The videos kept coming. Are these people serious? I get it, you're upset, your candidate lost. But get a grip! Can so many supposed adults be having this large of a collective hissy fit? How are you not embarrassed to post this?

Say what you will about European leftists. They're lazy, arrogant, and decadent. But they're not children. They simply don't behave this way when they don't get their way.

But then a couple more days went by, and my annoyance faded into genuine shock. The videos kept coming. Holy hell, I thought, these people are crazy! I mean that without hyperbole, these people are straightjacket and padded room crazy. Like, Adam Sandler's sister in Anger Management crazy. Like, it places the lotion in the basket crazy.

It has often been said that leftism is a religion, or that political ideologies are secular religions. I think what we're witnessing goes well beyond that. While all religions have their extremists (and secular religions even more so), the aforementioned post-election meltdown videos delve into something far darker. Even the bin Ladens of the world, as degenerate and reprehensible as they are, possess the mental capacity to produce propaganda videos during which they calmly spell out their goals and accompanying rationales, flawed as they may be. But apparently, large swaths of our fellow Americans are unable to rise to even this ....

I think this article excellently describes the 'Cult of the Self' of the left. It says the Left think woke means they are enlightened.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 14:12

When you are constantly in rebellion against your Creator that is what you can expect. If you don’t repent before your days on this earth are up, then that death will be eternal. Today is the age of grace. Return to him before it’s too late for he is a merciful God.

Excellent article—thanks for posting.

We still have not been able to rid ourself of that Ron Hubbard cult after many decades.

This nut is hard to crack.

Just look at how the Jooz vote against their interests. Makes you wonder. Could governor Shapiro ever end up in the WH? I think not for that very reason.

“Leftism is a death cult”

Hey, just because they support abortion up until the 12th months of pregnancy don’t jump to conclusions.

“However, one thing missing from the American leftist cult is the trademark charismatic leader.”

This may be why they’re melting down. Their prophecy failed, and they need new guidance on what to do, what to say, what to think. Until they get it (either from the TV or maybe TikTok), they’re all bonkers.

‘Cult of the Self’

These are people who grew up without any objectivity at all.

Before social media, they were all at home making faces in the mirror. They are all movie star wannabees

They are boring, too

There is a wonderful old book on this topic:

https://www.amazon.com/When-Prophecy-Fails-Psychological-Destruction/dp/0061311324

The book argued it takes “three disconfirmations” to destroy the cult thinking.

A Vance 2028 win might do the trick.

A suicide cult that means to pull down the rest of us with them.

We can also see it in western Europe, where they have made even more progress.

It’s an internet fad like Tide-Pods. They’re putting on acts trying one up each other.

They all need to find a handy cliff to stampede over the edge. They are mentally there already.

I think this is the truth of it.

A lot of the videos are very obvious over-acting, all to get attention.

There are two genders,Untrue. here are three genders, no more and no less. Gender is a grammatical category and is only tangentially related to sex and the TWO(2) sexes.

Leftism permits no debate, and even less deviation. Any drift from cult dogma is regarded as heresy, and heretics are always regarded as worse than non-believers.

Herewith an excellent description of Islam.

Yes, they will push the their hubris as hard as they can for as long as they can. But, hubris usually precedes a fall. They now know, based on the election, that they are part of a minority that is held in ill repute by a clear majority of the general public.
