The Right, the Left & the Wrong- Why They're All Retarded Kindergartners

12/14/2016

Like a lot of people I was surprised, and not a little dismayed at the presidential election result on Nov. 8th. I've read some of the many (many, many, many, many, MANY) analyses of what happened, why and how, and indulged in my own. Which
I have now whittled down to the following succinct and (if I say so myself)
brilliant summing up of the fundamental problem. Solve this and a whole lot
of seemingly-impossible problems become quite solvable.
-Mary Whealen

THE RIGHT

Hold as an article of faith that whatever is wrong with the country, or their own life economically, is the fault of liberals.

THE LEFT

Hold as an article of faith that enforcing politically correct speech, by any means necessary, is social progress.

THE WRONG

Faith is defined by Merriam-Webster as "firm belief in something for which there is
no proof."
By corollary also, "belief despite proof to the contrary."
Ergo, in in the face of actuality to the contrary, both sides double down on their
article of faith.
Ergo, both sides are retarded kindergartners.

I like this analysis, but there is more to it as usual. Have you ever read any Jonathan Haidt? He's done some very interesting work on elucidating the different values of conservatives and liberals, and the fact that liberals put fairness and empathy above all other things is proving to be a very serious problem.

The victim-mentality of those on the left, manifesting in political correctness, a huge welfare state, borderline-terrorist organizations like BLM and constant accusations of 'Islamophobia' towards anyone wanting to talk seriously about the problem of Islamism is just the beginning.

Conservatives historically could have been fairly accused of having an overly simplistic view of the world, but I think the shoe is on the other foot now. The left has seriously eaten itself and views all inequality and strife on the globe as the fault of either white people, the U.S. or both.

I used to consider myself liberal, but now see myself as a centrist to center right, but this might just be because the left has become so nakedly Marxist

I worry about the fascist elements that are rising into power in Europe because of the leftist delusions of Merkel, but Islam and global jihad is a real problem that must be dealt with truth. They really do want to kill us either by attrition/overpopulation or by outright war. Killing ISIS is not going to stop the rise of another group in its place, or the thousands of jihadists that will continue to try to get fissile material together to make a bomb.

Another 9-11 scale attack could very well be the tipping point that could push us into another world war.
