Fear of the Left . . .

[_Kishkumen]

Fear of the Left:

Is it grounded in fear of statism?

Fear of unrealistic utopianism?

Fear of loss of traditional modes of community and identity?

What say ye?

[_Kishkumen]

Fear of "The Left" or "The Right" comes from reading or watching alarmists who are selling something. These are big boogeymen, Punch and Judy mockups of reality. They fall apart when you start looking closely. Up and down makes just as much sense as left and right. All of these models are limited and untrustworthy.

Well said.

I never quite understood the Doc-EA war.

I don't it is fair to call it a back and forth as it's consistently just like how it went in this thread. I say something innocuous and widely understood, and Doc Cam distorts it into a strawman point and makes wildly offensive claims about what I think and have done. He clearly derives some sort of amusement from it, and it's hard to know to where exactly his dishonesty takes over for poor thinking ability.

It'd be like you insisting that enlightenment thinking was not uniformly positive, me claiming that you just said that it's Ok to kill people for being witches despite your repeated denials of having said such a thing, then me entering threads to claim you've admitted to turning people into the police on false charges because they are witches, then demanding you justify your belief in Satanic pedophile cults.

Trump is not conservative. He is an opportunist who panders to bigots and Bible thumpers.

Yep!

Yeah, I don’t claim to understand what is going on.

This is really rich. The hate-mongerers on this thread are now bewildered and playing the victim. It's a page right out of DCP's playbook. The Leftists on this thread peddle lies about an entire swath of people, hate our country, and can't wrap their poisoned minds around individual agency and the ability to rise above one's circumstances through choice, discipline, and hope.

They're peddlers of fear, hate, intolerance, and misery. Just look at them. Look at what they post. Do you want to be like that? Be like them? No “F” ing thanks. I'll cast aside their bigotry, prejudice, and intolerance for hope, egalitarianism, and merit. They can keep their misery, the misery born of failed socialist and communist governments that have been relegated to the dustbin of history.

Granted, he does this from a deeply embedded pathos that probably has to do with personal insecurities, female rejection, and I'd guess childhood abuse, but that's his cross to bear. Our country shouldn't have to pay reparations because he's in possession of a damaged psyche.

I was thinking more along the lines of short man syndrome. But yes, Doc is right on the money when it comes to EAllusion.
