Why the Modern Liberal Has Never Had a Mature Thought in His Life
From the time of his birth, poverty was so near to extinction that just to be able to call any American save for the utter fringe (most notably the drug- addled and the mentally ill) “impoverished” required that an entirely new definition be invented – a definition of such fabulous riches that it is easily conceivable that even kings and tsars and popes of yore might well have happily traded for it. Such, in fact, was the plot of the Eddie Murphy/Arsenio Hall movie Coming to America. And that was a modern-day kingdom.
During this time hunger became so easily avoidable that anyone who found a dollar in the street could enjoy a three-course gourmet meal prepared by a world-class chef, available for effortless microwaving at any of tens of thousands of 99 Cents Only and Dollar Stores. In fact, those born into this time and this place need never have even long suffered a headache or a charley horse as a drug recognized as nothing less than a miracle by those who had lived without it – aspirin – was never not in their lives and never not just a few steps away.
From the dawn of time until the dawn of the Modern Liberal era people had had to think – they had had to use their intellect in order to discover and then practice the better ways – because being wrong came with the potential for dire consequences. For millions and millions born in America after the Second World War, with these potential consequences all but eliminated, thinking became a relic, their mind nearly as unneeded and unused as their appendix.

Sounds like what HG Wells wrote about 100 years ago – the Eloi- of course that was in the future, 20,000 years as I remember, maybe the future causht up to us that quick. What do I know?
The modern liberal’s quest: Freedom from Responibility.
Freedom from personal responsibility by turning over the protection of the personal to a centralized government. Responsibility remains, only removed from the individual and relocated in the parent power, namely the government. Humans can only act like non-discrimatory children if said children have the PARENT that orders and cares for the individual.
So, the liberal position is that people should vest authority in the state because the people can’t be trusted with vested authority? And the state is to operate with authority given it by people who can’t be trusted with authority?
I think i’ll go toss my wallet in the fire, so no one can steal it.
No, no, no and no. Your error is in holding to the notion of equality under the law, which, while it started quite a long time ago in Runnymede and gained its most explicit form in the US Constitution, is still a relatively new-fangled idea, as ideas go. It never really caught on in leftist circles. Their actual idea is, and always has been, the more ancient and revered form of social organisation – seen in many wonderful countries around the world – of a ruling elite and a toiling underclass. They would be the ruling elite, in case you ask.
“That is, he has never once attempted to gather the facts, study the evidence and weigh these things in a rational formulation in order to seek out the rightful answers”
Remember The Matrix? “Do you want the Red Pill or the Blue PiIl?” The modern liberal has taken the Blue Pill. They cannot think, they cannot reason. When you try to get them to drill down past the ‘fairness’ platitudes they get hostile. THey not only cannot think analytically, they don’t want to.
isn’t it their right not to think analytically, i guess if their ignorance leads to violence, like you all fear, then you will just have to kill them or incarcerate them, good luck….. but wait, then you would be the violent ones for knowing too much…idk
