It will be interesting to hear the Prog logic blaming president Trump for the Houston flooding.
It will be interesting to hear the Walker logic for how this is related to the OP topic
Oh good. I think the thread name is obvious, but we be can be inspired to openly SOC delve, as the balance to labor.
When it’s your call, and you’re wondering what to do, you do what you have to do. In the modern spirit of spin which will pin Trump to the disaster (although mysteriously there is no mention on this rain date), in the case of a poor Prog who must politicize the world, all bad must point to a single source. Namely, Trump. (The locus of Bush/Katrina is an interchangeable retrofit). In a subtler age it would not be so, but here we are now.
Naturally, this is merely a propaganda technique, at first. Since the mind is both sublime and literal it becomes interwoven with interpretation of perception, and when exposed to the conditions of Bizarro World the moorless nature of relative truth loses sight of the unmoving, the North Star, the absolute, that which does not change.
When truth shifts so quickly the highly intelligent Prog, keeping pace with a narrative, invents some doozies. Here’s the real irony. Relativists are merely closet absolutists. If a relativist truly did lose sight of the land, the moon and the stars, only the void would be, and with nothing but the void, with not even identity of what was, no mind remains unchanged. Any illusions that remain are seen as such with good humour.
But to return to the point. Progs cannot be relativists, not if they’re being honest, for I’m fairly certain you’ll agree that they do hold to a higher value than the chaotic randomness of events, for they hold at least against the willful steering of a Trump wherever that may go, for logic indicates that his charted course must be compared to an unnamed absolute in order to be judged as dead-on straight for the edge of the earth.
Be it unacknowledged religious or some other object held in unwavering attention, such as a life-improving project or a humane mission or an ideal of king cash via illusory political power cloaked in the foundation’s garb, the Prog does hold fast to a guiding light. If all else fails, ego is always eager to humbly step in as the real, as that which does not change, as the artist.
However, for a Prog it’s actually much simpler and the heavy guns from the assumed center of the universe, the source of
No’s Concept existing as a phantom, need not be aimed. The concept can be easily understood via the self-image of Dudley Dooright played out in the dream around which the galaxy revolves, doing good for the world by any means necessary which includes the unsavory, a world ordering which includes a foil, the branding of gold.
The monolithilized force antagonistic to the righteous can thus exist as the dumping ground for the wrong, so that we as witness have the classic heaven and hell parading about in full sight every day.
This means that the question for you to answer as you must even if it be silence or a protest, a squeak or a judgment is, can you inspire with an answer of whether or not the spectacle of anti-Trumpism is calculated or biological?
