The Left Destroys EVERYTHING It Touches

Post by simplicity »

After witnessing the mind-boggling atrocities of the 20th century, the fact that another leftist movement has amassed the power it has says a great deal about the social structure of humanity. If you can not leave something so horribly vile behind after witnessing the approximate 100M deaths accountable to leftist policies a century ago, then the long-term hopes for humanity might be worse than thought.

Although leftist doctrine seems to fill a religious need [moral code] in some, the reality of what happens in practice is just the opposite as those who accumulate power past critical mass apply their programs with bayonets and brutal psychological coercion attached to their diktats.

The world celebrated the fall of the Soviet Union and the nightmare it unleashed upon the Russian [and other] peoples just a couple of decades ago. How is it possible that the lessons have been forgotten so soon after? How could nearly an entire elite establishment give in to this idiocy?

Even in the watered-down version of left-leaning policy the Biden administration has foist on the American people has been a complete disaster, where politics is the first and most important reason for doing everything. The corruption of this third-world style of doing business is so blatantly obvious, the lying so transparent, that failure is not only probable, but guaranteed. It's simply a matter of how much damage will be done before the American people have had enough.

From open boarders to vaccine mandates, this top-down social engineering ruins life for all but the party elite who seem to somehow save just a little bit of freedom and wealth for themselves. These folks need to be shown the door so they can try to implement their socialist utopia somewhere else. People came here [and still come here] to be free, not to be dictated to by idealists who haven't a fucking clue.

Do you have a definition for this 'left' that you are referring to? Of course you don't. Your username is very appropriate. You do realise that the political spectrum is quite broad don't you? It has more than two points of reference on it. Any govt. has many different policies, some of which could be called 'left' I suppose (in fact simply 'enlightened') like education for all, accessible healthcare for everyone, equal rights and opportunities, welfare backup for the vulnerable and those who fall on hard times, old age pension, environmental protection.....You know, all those things you despise and would never take advantage of in a million years. Americans seriously need to stop using the word 'left' at all in respect to politics, because they are too stupid and shallow to know what the fuck they are talking about. The world has moved on since the French revolution.

It's not about feelings. I'd actually prefer to have moderate people in charge. Political systems work best with compromise between liberal and conservative and highly functional checks and balances. The corruption must be rooted-out.

All 330M of us?

For a people who are too stupid and shallow to know what the fuck we are talking about, we've done pretty good over the past couple of centuries, no?

It is corruption [political and otherwise] that is destroying our system, an addiction that the 'something for nothing' crowd simply can't get enough.

Thanks for proving my point.

How can that be true? Your OP is a series of unrelated screeches, some stuff about the USSR and some stuff about Biden but no sign of them having anything to do with each other. There's some stuff about top down things but no sign of any reason why top down organisation is some exclusively left wing policy and thus none of what you wrote can be attributed to anything but feels.

There is reason to be suspicious about what your idea of moderate might refer to. For all of your FoxNews howlings, nobody sane considers Biden a trotskyite firebrand, he's boring, he'll be dead in a few years, and he won't really do much of anything between now and then.

Your checks and balances have been out of balance for decades, if not centuries. Now you even have a constitutional court that has been filled up with partisan hacks, which in itself is only important because you quite absurdly send virtually all your laws there to be thrown out. You have allowed your electoral system to be so thoroughly jerrymandered that now your political parties are hostage to total psychopaths and most of your elected officials are only afraid of losing primaries to the lunatic wings of their own party because they will never face a meaningful election against the other party.

If you wanted to fix shit, you would need to make the right wing parties give up their electoral advantages that allow them to win state and federal power with mere pluralities of the vote so that they had to appeal to a broad range of voters again. But if you just want to rant that it's all the fault of THE LEFT like the other half baked shitwits on this forum, then I guess you can knock yourself out.

Perhaps you can answer this question. Why are left leaning folks so incredibly nasty?

While 'right wing folks' are all 'nice' :lol:

How are you defining 'the left'? A simple enough question, for one who calls himself 'simple'.

Back in the day, it used to be left-leaning folks were cool and the right-leaning folks were nasty. Now it's the other way around. I consider myself a-political so I really don't have a dog in the race.

I think of the left as people who believe in centralization, that the state should be in charge, that individuals should not be trusted, that "they" know better.

Most of all, I believe they are idealists who couldn't have possibly held any positions of real responsibility because there is no way you could have these beliefs if you lived in a world where you made your own way.

Clearly I wasn't actually mistaken, you've gone right back to feelings there to prove it.
Also if I'm a lefty in your book then I was right to doubt your ability to spot a moderate.

This is about policy and results. How have all the left-policy governments made out over the previous century? Despite all the warm and fuzzy feel-good, "we're going to make the world a wonderful place for everybody," the results are nearly the exact opposite as leftist policy ALWAYS results in authoritarianism for the masses and luxuries for the party elite. It just doesn't work.

And I have no idea what you are. This isn't about you.
