Progressives make rocks look intelligent

I am not exactly sure where to post this, so this string will have to do.

Yesterday, I heard about the outrage which took place in the Canadian Parliament on Sept. 22nd. How this could happen is beyond me. But it does give people, who are willing to see, an insight into the scoundrels who are running the West.

Standing ovation for member of SS Galicia Division

Was this stupidity or a spit in the eye for the rest of us?

SS Galicia Division

Let me say first that, as far as I know, if the earth got significantly warmer (tens or hundreds, not single-digit degrees), perhaps that could lessen the friction between tectonic plates and thus cause them to slide. I'm assuming it would take this process thousands if not millions of years for that heat to reach beneath the surface via mere true global warming due to a greenhouse effect.

Even so, mind you, it is already hot when you dig down even to the mere depth of a mind shaft. So I don't know what extra heat you would need to make a difference in this regard...assuming, of course, that the heat could serve to lubricate the tectonic plates, which it certainly could with enough heat. But, realistically, you'd probably need more along the lines of the sun going into its last stages and becoming a hot, red giant. Well before then, all life would have been extinguished on earth so no one would give a rip about increased earthquakes.

That's the only scenario I can come up with. Oh...the other one is that these people are idiots. No matter how many types they use the word "science" like an incantation, they are uneducated in the basics of our natural world.

Absolutely. Her choice of words shows her level of indoctrination. What an absolute kook she must be.



Without a doubt. The very definition of a "Karen."

Dennis Prager had an article the other day at Townhall (Sick Jews) that tried to explain why many Jews support those who would annihilate them. I didn't find his explanations even marginally persuasive although others might.

But I won't rank on the guy. He's an honest man. And certainly if anyone can give a good explanation, he should. And yet he shows just how difficult a question it is.

We can (and should) take the Kungian perspective: They just mean to tear down Western Civilization. And this is obviously true to some extent. But we have to get into the inherent two-tier nature of the beast: The Leftist leaders at the top and the legions of useful idiots at the bottom.

We could, I suppose, come to understand the hatred of the Leftist leaders to a large extent. Criminal minds are not rare and have always been around. There are those who seek power and don't care who or what they destroy to get it (which is why George Washington was such a heaven-sent anomaly).

It seems to me that perhaps decent people (at least these days) require an explanation for their existence, not the scoundrels. And I'm only barely exaggerating. But the real question is how to understand the useful idiots who hand political, social, and moral power to the Leftists with their complicit and blind support.

I have a niece who is a man-hating feminist nag. I know what they look like. I know what the Left Coast liberal world can and does produce. But can I explain why there is so little humility in such people? Why they are lacking integrity, honor, generosity, or magnanimity? Can I explain why they are blind to the motives of those leaders who are so self-evidently of a bad seed?

I can't. But it does seem to be a moral and intellectual sickness that is imparted onto people after years of training. And it certainly appeals to people's egos, to their sense of being a superior human being. Without a doubt we are dealing with a type of superiority cult (which is why I call them "The Golden Children").

Now, of course, I'm being a little coy because I know precisely what is at the heart of at least the useful-idiot side of the equation: Feminism. It has marginalized the moral and intellectual force of men. And you need analyze this no deeper than to realize that without good men (frat boys, if you will) who oppose evil (or hysteria, or disorder, or liars, or the various people who always wish to sow pernicious mischief), the social, political, and moral immune system of any country will have been corrupted.

And when it is gone, it's truly a case of "nature abhors a vacuum." Without the push-back of a general sanity and decency, you get all the things we are seeing now.

Of course, when men's morality runs amok (as if often will), then they can create the greatest harm with wars and various types of violence. But men are the only ones who can build and maintain the structure of civilization. I don't believe women can be moral leaders and foundational thinkers. One or two, yes, But as a whole, no. Women's minds tend to be narrowly focused on the immediate and without the desire or ability for abstraction. Men deal in abstractions as part of their nature.

And men have always had the ability therefore to use that abstraction to understand and enforce a sensible moral framework. Women can't. As a group, they can't. They have their own strengths, but this current experiment we are undergoing shows unequivocally that good men are needed for any civilization to thrive.

And all these words will bounce right off your Singaporean friend. That's how deep the programming of feminism goes. When a society can't even dare to parse the problem, it has no chance in solving it. Or maybe I underestimate your friend. Send him all this and see what he says.

Of course, I agree with this. It's an interesting insight. If good men have been a casualty of Communism, so especially has (in the West) the Christian religion – the only force in the West (along with authentic Judaism) that is able to teach the Good Virtues. The Left stands with Islam against Christians so it's not completely an anti-religion cult. But it is a thoroughly secular/atheistic one. The values are advertised as "diversity, equity, inclusion." But not being a member of this blind cult, we can indeed recognize that it's all based on hatred, jealousy, etc.

But then again we have that two-tier system: The hardcore leaders at the top and the legions of Useful Idiots at the bottom. The useful idiots, for the most part, tend to not be so infused with rabid hatred. They somewhat moderate the kooks and cranks of the top tier. But they most importantly do not oppose them. They, in fact, tend to softly legitimize the worst values of the Communists by not hating, per se, but by thinking "What a good person am I" for being "inclusive" and "diverse," etc. They could care less what the end game is. These narcissist only care that they are thought of as moral supermen (or superwomen). And once you go down that road (and we see with some of the truly nutty Jews who can't let go of their sense of moral superiority and support Hamas), it's tough to turn back.

And this aspect, combined with the enormous success of the free market (producing cheap trinkets and distractions in abundance), has produced what they call Homo Economicus. Man (or woman) is no longer a creature of spirit or soul who might, from time to time, contemplate the Big Questions...such as God. Now Homo Economicus is first and foremost (and not much but) a consumer.

This has created a distracted, dumb, disengaged person among a large segment of the population. (And, certainly not a coincidence, that population has become literally large – "fat"). Their watchword seems to be I consume, therefore I am. Many are Leftist enablers if only because they can't be bothered to resist nonsense as long as the bobbles and bangles keep flowing.

And there's another segment of the population who very much consume their politics like the Homo Economicuses consume their tech trinkets. They are angry. They are made angry. They think they are victims. They are made to think they are victims. They hate decency and normalcy. They are made to hate decency and normalcy. And the pay-off is that they are told that they are of the highest moral caliber for holding their cultish views. (I call them "The Golden Children".) And as Dennis Prager notes, just like the Nazis, those who think of themselves as victims think they are entitled to do anything to anybody. These people are dangerous.

Normal people (to the extent they exist, and there is a significant pocket of them) are being overwhelmed right now.

Good article. Misery Chic.
