I saw this reddit thread here: https://greatawakening.win/p/17rmA8JJuq/fun-stuff--watch-the-left-desper/c/ and decided to do something I haven't done in nearly a decade - formulate a reply to lefties that refuse to learn.
Why leftists think they are losing
The post hoc rationalisation and self deceptions going on in that thread is hilarious.
- It's the algos that are against us! - yeah. Cool story Bernie bros. Because FB and Google are so notoriously anti woke /sarc. Seriously, the algos are biased to your favour and have been for years. Over a decade at least.
- The right has all the power! - only if you define anything that is corporate or wealthy as right wing, which these days is far from reality.
- it's because socialism is really just misunderstood anti-monarchism! - ummm no. We tried your way for about 100 years in loads of countries. It ends with loads of dead people and total societal and economic collapse. Socialism is fundamentally anti capitalism, not just anti monarchy.
- people are just afraid of change! - no, people don't want a change that fundamentally is flawed and doomed to lead to literal hell. Good intentions make for a wonderful brimstone pavement. People are happy to take a change that adds value to their lives and the lives of those they care about, but not a change that adds only costs.
- we're underdogs and always will be! - you literally are controlling the establishment, the media, and corporate pressure throughout the west since the last US election. Dude, wake the hell up and pull your head out. You haven't been underdogs since probably at least the 90s to be frank.
- we are just disorganised! - this obviously is so tone deaf a response that it nearly gets filed under "I can't even" for me, but given the left has more ngos working to lobby and organise "grass roots" movements globally this is just a pretty lie for these losers.
- it's because capitalism! - what, you mean you need ideas that can compete? If that is what you meant than correct, but it's not. You meant the same thing as "the right has all the power" in that you presume all rich people are right wing, a fundamental categorisation failure. It ignores wealthy people like David Brock, rob reiner, every left wing politician on the take and benefiting from trading scams, and people like Soros.
- people lack critical thinking on why wokeism is correct! - no, this is projection. You are confusing critical thinking with critical theory, and fail to apply the former with consistency.
why the left is actually losing
To lefties everywhere, here is why you are losing. It is because you are on a foundation of sand, ideologically. You presumed there can be no real objective truth. You presume everything factual is relative, including biological facts on genetics. You have fundamentally flawed philosophical principles and always have, because your theories are based on feelings and not logic and empiricism. You forget that there is what you see and what is actually there, and if your lens of observation is flawed, the view of what is there will be flawed as well.
How lefties could change for the better (but we know they probably won't)
- Learn the trivium, and focus on logic.
- Read something on economic theory that isn't marxist or keynesian. I recommend F. A. Hayek and the road to serfdom, or perhaps watch some videos featuring Thomas Sowell.
- Learn the principles of biology as a physical science instead of a social one.
- Learn to understand that because we are individuals we cannot be all the same or just grouped into buckets, so the only system that can work is one which takes into account our individualism, namely capitalism.
- Learn that if you focus on privileges for minority groups over the negative rights of all, people will consider your opinion on what should be done as worthless.
- Perhaps most of all, learn some humility. Learn that maybe you could be fundamentally wrong and learn to accept failure. If you can't do that much, you won't grow.
Mark 12:12-23–
How much this plays into this decade? How many moved from democratic ran cities and how many stayed? How many has had their family betrayed you this last decade? How many worshipped the world and sacrificed this sand castle?
It is a very sad thing.
Some of these people who have betrayed the Spirit Jesus are going to pay for their cause in this life and hopefully they do repent. When the world exposes itself and demands sacrifice and those who worship the world are always glad to offer up their family members for sacrifice and we who are their family members who survive will bear witness their destruction and we should allow it. Jesus will have mercy on those who repent.
Cycles of humanity and once God says it is over, it will be over. It is going to be an interesting 2024-the year of repentance? 2025-the year of retribution? Or are still a decade early? ———
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
