This is part of the plaintive tone of the article. There's a reason why the Right doesn't emulate the Left. It's because the Left is inherently destructive while the Right is inherently constructive.
The Right can't and doesn't organize like the Left because the people on the Right have real jobs. And there are no sugar daddies on the Right who will pay people to destroy society.
It's good to understand the mindset of the left, as this article suggests; but it is also good to realize that the Left is using the liberties the Right has created and tries to sustain, in order to destroy its own benefactor.
The Left are Collectivists, whereas the Right tend to be Individualists. To the Left, Government is the be-all-end-all, to the Right, Government is a necessary evil.
I didn’t care for the tone of the article.
And both you expressed why I felt that way.
We are not Leftists. We don’t operate the same way. We aren’t overtly immoral or criminal, willing to accept and rationalize ANYTHING in the quest for power in the same way Leftists are.
And I am not ashamed of the difference. There are “conservatives” who have this fantasy that if we become like the Leftists, we can combat them by doing the same thing exactly the same things to them that they do to us.
And it will not work. You cannot “out-Left” a real Leftist. Many RINO’s try to do so, and they fail. Because for most of them, they are not dedicated to Leftism, and it shows.
To people susceptible to Leftism and its tenets, when confronted with a choice between a real Leftist and a RINO, they will almost always choose a REAL Leftist.
It is a losing proposition.
Just like the Nazis until they gained enough power to take over and end all those rights. It’s what Islam does too. There is a percentage of Islam in the population list somewhere that points out how that works.
This works for the Left because their causes and techniques are emotion based. It’s easier to mindlessly destroy than constructively build. And as mentioned above they have sugar daddies to buy their matching green tents and pay for their transportation from protest to protest.
Absolutely spot on response.
