“At least as far back as the 18th century, the left has struggled to avoid facing the plain fact of evil -- that some people simply choose to do things that they know to be wrong when they do them. Every kind of excuse, from poverty to an unhappy childhood [AKA harsh toilet-training], is used by the left to explain and excuse evil.
[…]
Why has evil been such a hard concept for many on the left to accept? The basic agenda of the left is to change external conditions. But what if the problem is internal? What if the real problem is the cussedness of human beings?
Rousseau denied this in the 18th century and the left has been denying it ever since. Why? Self preservation.
If the things that the left wants to control -- institutions and government policy -- are not the most important factors in the world's problems, then what role is there [left] for the left?”

The only clarity-of-vision in this Leftist mindset is the mendacity of its illusions. You want another opinion? Alrighty, then: It is nothing short of pure unadulterated horseshit.
Can humanity's last best hope please come to its senses? Can we please relinquish the Left's stultifying grip on wrong-headed government policy? Can we please reassume sensible goals for our once-great Nation?
Pretty please? With a cherry on top?

Post 1,978 “The Mendacity of Leftist Illusions”
On the role of the university as a wellspring of the Leftist "vision", as diagnosed by the late Kenneth Minogue:
ReplyDeleteAn ideological movement is a collection of people many of whom could hardly bake a cake, fix a car, sustain a friendship or a marriage, or even do a quadratic equation, yet they believe they know how to rule the world. The university, in which it is possible to combine theoretical pretension with comprehensive ineptitude, has become the natural habitat of the ideological enthusiast. A kind of adventure playground, carefully insulated from reality in order to prevent absent-minded professors from bumping into things as they explore transcendental realms, has become the institutional base for civilizational self-hatred.
--- K Minogue, 1991
