Have you ever tried reasoning with a two-year-old? Contrary to what some “enlightened” individuals might believe, two-year-olds are literally incapable of logical reasoning. What passes for reasoning is likely just autonomic responses and a bit of learned experience, like crying, that gets your attention. I’ve met parents who treat children, even infants, like adults; it never seemed to go well for this observer. But, hey! Infantilism is an in thing for many Americans; watch their boorish antics on TV, and you’ll agree.
Today, I’ll postulate that we have a generation or two raised on the false belief that high emotion trumps logic, and what that inevitably leads to. Let’s begin with a statement that is the justification for all that bad behavior and the majority of bad outcomes:
American nurturing systems moved away from strict parental authority and punitive discipline toward more child-centered, psychologically informed approaches that emphasize empathy, autonomy, and developmental guidance.
Questioning the Unquestioned: Testing Ideological Convictions:-
What we are witnessing—a lack of logical capacity to discern truth from fantasy, fallacious logic from reality- is the result of decades of intentionally teaching young people that emotion is superior to empirical reasoning. We also teach children that you can win a trophy simply for existing, contrary to what life ultimately demonstrates. When life does not comport to what they were taught, they become angry and frustrated. We can validate this most starkly by asking activists and their followers simple questions they can’t answer correctly, like:
- Can you locate on a map where Gaza or Israel is?
- Has there ever been a country called Palestine?
- Has there been the predicted sea level rise?
- What portion of recent extreme heat records can be attributed to human-caused climate change according to attribution studies?
- What are the documented risks and benefits of puberty blocking treatments for minors, according to major medical associations?
- For how long has it been controversial to ask for a birth certificate or similar proof to register to vote?
- Is poverty in the U.S. increasing or decreasing?
- Are there more or fewer people in poverty today (percentage of the world population) than 50 years ago?
- Was United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson properly gunned down for “anti-elite” or “anti-corruption” reasons?
- Is illegal immigration a net plus for our nation, and is their foundational argument that we “live on stolen land” a rational retort?
The incontrovertible truth: most people can’t answer these questions correctly, yet base their subsequent thoughts and actions on those beliefs. It is this fact that leads to the kind of resistance, violence, and tendencies that are likely America’s leading reason for our current societal malaise.
Activists and their easily led followers, masquerading as do-gooders, what some Minnesotans like to call “neighbors,” can be some of the most vicious, my-way-or-the-highway, do-not-cross-us know-it-alls the world has ever seen. Spare me all the spin concerning “nurturing”, children never lie, and the necessity never to correct a child lest their ego be permanently destroyed.
We are just now starting to exit a period when child mutilation, here in the U.S., was being touted as essential to “save lives” by far too many “experts.” And, we went along with it all too willingly. Some of these enablers should be put up against the wall and shot. To me, there is no difference between a child molester and someone who wants little Joan to cut off her breasts due to her expressing a prepubescent notion. The emphasis on neighbors while ignoring the harm done in the name of affirming a child’s wishes is stark. In fact, it’s not the child’s wishes that are being affirmed, but some wacko nut job whose worldview is evil, manipulating, and ultimately the epitome of a sick mind. Yet, the blame lies most with those who put such notions in someone’s head.
I can make much the same case for a myriad of other fad issues, from global warming to the issue of trans children. From a fixation on hyper sexualization everywhere to globalism and open borders, it’s all the same mania by the same cast of characters using specious logic and claims.
The Cost of Overlooking Two Fundamental Realities:-
By capitalizing on the lack of logical capacity in millions, we’ve not confronted two important truths:
- American and European leftists are “tearing down” our existing and prevailing society, institutions, and concepts like individualism, freedom, privacy, responsibility, patriotism/nationalism, and consequences.
- They have managed to do so with relative impunity by claiming today’s America is morally rotten, unjust, we live on stolen land, or irredeemably elitist, creating moral permission to dismantle it all, while supported by a cadre of intellectuals, political leaders, educators, and a fawning, always supportive mob of damaged individuals.
America today has completely lost its grounding, even as the majority don’t agree with leftist ideology and pine for the security and internal peace of yesteryear, most stay silent, fearing the mob. The media’s modus operandi since Vietnam sows a belief that we are coming apart at the seams. They view all societal disruptions as consequential and as harbingers of our future. Up to now, they were wrong.
But history may have finally caught up with their Chicken Little hypothesis, due to the widely accepted failures of logic that the left has achieved. All of us must read the writing on the wall: make a U-turn, or we will be pushed over the cliff. Living as we are is not sustainable, subject to the near-constant drumbeat of political demands incompatible with the continuation of the American experience; now not yet on life support, but edging closer each day.
Conclusion:-
“Tearing It All Down” is a means to an end for the leaders (numbered in the low thousands) who move from issue to issue, always trying to gain traction in their efforts to enslave ever more low-information voters (frequently women) to believe in a flawed and ultimately irredeemable America. Once they establish that, they feel empowered to rip out traditional America by its roots and replace it with a euphemistic vision of a kinder, gentler America with no patriotism, no borders, no economic disparity, and no Donald Trumps to contend with.
If they ever actually ever got it, we only have to look at other third-world sh*@hole countries to understand that the uniqueness of our country won’t continue once these nihilistic destroyers get their way. The last words of their legions of followers will always be the same in their last moments.
“We were misled.” However, it will be far past the time for redemption. America’s passing, should we allow it to happen, will have been a choice, not an inevitability.
God Bless America!
