The left’s entire movement is based on inverting cause and effect.
- They want to replace a system where people are free to achieve with one where everyone is forced to the same results.
- It doesn’t matter whom you trample, the end justifies the means.
- People don’t make the same poor decisions that led them to where they are; if we give them enough handouts they’ll be accomplished individuals!
- Since it’s a good thing when someone creates a better version of something or is able to offer it at a better price, the inverse must be true too! Artificially driving energy prices sky-high so that non-competitive failures are forced on people is therefore equivalent to real innovation.
- Having government put an artificial ceiling on an element necessary to nearly every energy source is a “free market” program since it has the word “trade” in it.
Very good point. The common denominator is “magical thinking” - and I see a lot of that around me these days. And not just as applied to politics. A lot of these alternative health freaks rely a lot on magical thinking. They are always on about channeling this sort of energy or that sort of energy, or getting rid of toxins or bad humors etc. It’s the same, almost proud ignorance of how things fundamentally work.
