Progressives, manipulation, and blindness.

in blog •  7 years ago 

Ailments endemic in the liberal left, the intellectuals, the progressives.
I will just use the term left –as it's easier to type- but encompasses all the above.

A sense of intellectual superiority – 'I know better than you do', syndrome.
This is the governments default setting, of course. (and infects all the off shoots of government corruption. Especially academia.)


The big picture confidence trick.

A term loved by the blind - the 'big picture' (always a warning sign of someone not being able see what is in front of their face).

Incoming

There is no big picture...Its a mirage.
ALL the big pictures are made up of smaller units. (The individual being the smallest unit, in this context of looking at society).
There is no society (big picture). It is pure concept.
There are people living together – and then the concept of society is formed.

You cannot have a society without individuals.

You can have individuals, without a society.

One is real, one is concept, which is blatantly obvious.
I personally can't see why this is such a hard thing to grasp.

But then again, I'm a realist.

Governments and institutions only see 'society' – Even though it is nothing more than pure concept - It is not a real.
Ergo, it is an illusion - and delusional by the individuals who see it. IT IS NOT REAL.

Society - Dreamt up in the minds of control freaks - individuals incapable of seeing, or caring.
Who's fragile ego will not allow them to face the fact they may be - wrong.

Maybe they are just incapable, insecure individuals, hiding behind their intellect.

Their grandiose visions always fail if they attempt to include the individual. Now why would that possibly be..?
The person gets in the way of social models working (and therefore better disregarded or seen as irrelevant)
Their life is more comfortable that way.

A form of Blindness.

The delusional left see oppression, black lives matter, social justice movements

Well adjusted, sane, people, see lots of people – individuals - stood in a group.

Look at any government programme (the biggest fans of 'the big picture' of course), to see how it rides roughshod over the individual.
And this is why socialism will always fail. The principle of society.

The principle of society – The left's mantra - Explains perfectly why the left are so unprincipled.

IF the mainstay principle of 'society' is a principle built on a delusion - a concept, is it no wonder that the left are also the proponents of duplicity, evasion, subterfuge, changing the rules, etc.

Honoring of a contract, to completion - as an example.

If I say agree to something, it is my bond. A contract - It is not about profit (or loss). It is about honor. Integrity. Seeing things through.
The left see no moral issue with changing the rules half way through - because it suits.
They see no moral ambiguity of changing the rules, because it suits.
How can they? - They see society as real. A thing.

Expecting the Insane to act sanely, is not realisic, however much we want it.

The real world principles with which society has formed itself around, are the opposite of the principles of the left.
Starting with the principle of property rights. – This is a real thing.

(And just think how important destroying the principle of property right is, to the left...)

Everything – every reality -ever moral code- has to be overturned by the left (cultural marxism), to maintain the delusional insanity that the left see as real.

It all falls to pieces in the cold hard light of day, logic, empirical data, and benevolence.

You can't be benevolent to society. (HOW can you be benevolent to a concept?)

It is just a mask to disguise control of populations – social welfare being the perfect example of this.

It has to be in its place and given a label.

The individual is dangerous. The sole man who refuses a label is soon joined by more... This is when it begins threatening their semblance of safety.

I think you've got it.
I agree although I picture it differently
(based on research and experience)
for one thing there IS no left/right.
There is only more/less control over the individual.
when a group get beyond a certain
(very small size)
it's looking out for ITSELF
NOT the individual
(Iron Law of Bureaucracy

Yup - totally agree.

I was being a little lazy is using the right/left paradigm.

(but in my defense, very few of those fitting within that broad scope, wouldn't be able to read it and understand that it applied to them - unless it was spelt out in such basic terms. lol).


yup..and that's the problem
by using the left/right paradigm people are almost forced to take sides.
when in reality..

the paradigm needs to be changed.

yup - I agree. The paradigm has been ingrained for so long now though, it will take some shifting, in mindset...


your mission
should you decide to accept it.
is to help change the paradigm

no more right/left wing.

rather it's
BOTTOM UP.

that looks like a much better option..much more appealing

somehow I thought that you might see it that way.

Maybe they are just incapable, insecure individuals, hiding behind their intellect.

This is the problem these days.

yup - and once they sense power, after feeling so powerless all their lives- they will do anything to hang onto it.
