Bernie Wins Nevada! Now What?
American Thinker.com ^ | Februiary 25, 2020 | Christopher Chantrill

So, Bernie wins the Nevada caucuses going away, featuring young people and Hispanics. Oh dear. And we thought Hispanics were sensible moderates. So they are, writes Steve Sailer, but

they tend to be kind of poorly informed and not that interested in politics, but basically open to voting themselves some benefits at other people’s expense in a no-hard-feelings but-this-is-good-for me-and-mine way that I don’t take personally either.

But really, why oh why are all those youngsters going again for the crazy Marxist dream? And why is the sensible Hispanic culinary union worker going for free everything?

Fortunately, I just found out by reading Mircea Eliade and his The Myth of the Eternal Return. I finally understand what he is talking about.

It’s really pretty simple. We humans cannot bear the truth of existence, that life is suffering “brought on by cosmic catastrophe (drought, flood, storm), by invasion (incendiarism, slavery, humiliation), by social injustice, and so on.”

We moderns cannot bear suffering either, because they are still gonna getcha, whether it’s through old age, the Rooskies, the Bernie Bros, the Islamic terrorists, or the Gay Mafia.

Yeah, whatabout the guy put away for 16 years for stealing and burning a Rainbow flag!

And if all that doesn’t scare you there is always the cosmic catastrophe of Climate Change.

The danger of Bernie is the lust of at least half of the nation for “free stuff”. He will promise anything, without regard to the potential cost. He proved that just days ago when he couldn’t or wouldn’t put a price tag on all his new entitlement programs.

“The entire aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and, hence, clamorous to be led, by an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

- H. L. Mencken

This is something the electorate should be made to recite from now until Election Day.

Glad to see Mircea Eliade mentioned in the article—great insights on why humans do what we do.

The left in the modern world is a cargo cult.

In their urban areas stuff just magically appears on the island—electricity, heating, cooling, housing, food.

Of course they want it free. It is a human right!

Ayn Rand wrote about this stuff in depth. It turns out that all the stuff on the island was created by human beings using their labor and the products of their labor—which means that if one person gets it “free” then the other person (who created it) has been robbed of their labor.

If you rob a person of their labor they are slaves.

So, at its root, “democratic socialism” is a call to have a society of slave-masters and slaves, which has been the condition of many human societies throughout history.

So, do you want to be the slave-master or the slave?

Most folks will vote to be the slave-master!
