Leftists support tyranny, conservatives do not...
it's time to separate
One of the great semantic debates of the past decade has been the
ongoing attempt to muddle the definition of "Left vs Right" in the
American political sphere. For example, a lot of people who are new to the
liberty movement (people who became active during or after the Trump campaign
in 2016) have heard of the "false left/right paradigm," but they have
no clue what it actually means. If you think it means there are no legitimate
political sides in this fight and that the entire conflict is theatrical or
manipulated, then you are misinformed.
The false left/right paradigm specifically refers to the false
division at the very
top of the political pyramid among elitists in government.
There are Republicans that are conservative in their rhetoric but not
conservative in their actions or policies, and they tend to support or side
with politicians on the left regularly when it comes to big government spending
and big government power (just look to the Republicans that voted in favor of
Joe Biden's recent infrastructure bill).
On the other hand, the political "spectrum" on the
bottom of the pyramid is not as broad and nuanced as some people would have us
believe. There are people who call themselves "moderates" because
they think this makes them more impartial and more open-minded. They don't want
to appear as if they are moving to one "extreme" end of the spectrum
or the other. But ultimately, there are only two sides in this
fight: Either you are in favor of intensive government control of
people's lives, or you are not. And the vast majority of people in favor of
government tyranny herald from the leftist side of the political spectrum.
Yes, it's time to stop pretending as if there are nuances or
complexities here and call the situation as it really is. Issues like Critical
Race Theory, BLM, big tech censorship, the covid lockdowns and vax mandates
have really clarified things for us to the point that if you can't see the
enormous differences between leftists and conservatives then you are being
willfully ignorant.
In my latest articles, I have been exploring the theme of the
political left and their habit of wearing masks to hide their true natures.
Many of them will support socialist, collectivist and globalist policies while
also claiming they support freedoms at the same time. Yet, when they are
actually faced with real-world decisions in terms of unilateral
authoritarianism, the true character of the leftist is revealed, and it's an
ugly thing to behold.
In the past few years, I have seen leftists en masse defend the
indoctrination of American children with CRT, which teaches white kids that
they are inherently evil oppressors and black and brown children that they are
perpetual victims that cannot help themselves.
I have seen leftists support BLM riots and the destruction of
private property across the nation while calling them "peaceful
protests." I have also seen BLM take hundreds of millions of dollars
from the very corporate and globalist institutions they claim they hate.
I have seen leftists defend Big Tech censorship of any person or
group that disagrees with the woke narrative, to the point that conservatives
now have to constantly self-edit keywords and phrases just so algorithms do not
automatically derail their accounts, and so that leftists cannot falsely flag
their commentaries as "hate speech" or "medical
misinformation."
I have seen leftists avidly support covid lockdowns and the
arbitrary destruction of hundreds of thousands of businesses as
"nonessential." I have seen them aggressively defend mask
mandates despite the fact that they did nothing to actually slow infection
rates. Now I am witnessing their fevered joy as they help push forced
experimental vaccination through federal and state mandates, using the threat
of joblessness to intimidate those who do not comply.
In the meantime, we have seen conservatives become the
overwhelming majority of people in direct opposition to all of these
totalitarian activities. And still today I continue to see people try to argue
that there are no sides and that conservatives are "just as bad" as
leftists. These people either do not understand what a conservative is, or they
are deliberately misrepresenting reality because they have an agenda.
The bottom line is that proof is seen in action: Red states
are free, blue states are enslaved.
The debate is over in terms of left vs. right. The differences are
stark and painfully obvious. Places with majority conservative populations are
still fighting the mandates while places with a majority of leftists perpetuate
tyranny. It cannot be denied. It cannot be argued. This is reality. If you want
to be free, you make sure you are surrounded by conservatives or you become a
conservative.
There is not a single blue state in the country that is not on the
warpath to enforce Biden's vax mandates. There is not a single blue city in the
country that is not trying to subversively teach CRT in schools. And there is
not a single blue region in the country that is not obsessed with wokeism and
globalism. The truth is, America has split into two completely different
cultures with two completely different social objectives.
To be sure, there are some nuances in terms of geography. Blue
states, for example, are often checkered with red counties that do not like the
policies of the state government, but this does not change the reality of the
overall political divide. I have also noted that most Europeans and people in
the UK and Australia have no concept at all of what a conservative actually is.
They think a conservative us a corporatist. They have been indoctrinated by
their predominantly socialist and leftist systems to treat "conservative"
as a four-letter word. The people in these nations that oppose the leftist
agenda will commonly refer to themselves as "traditional liberals,"
but really, they are just conservatives that are afraid to call themselves
conservatives.
I am speaking on the American dynamic, however, and in this
country, the two sides are sharply defined.
I think that there is a subsection of the population that does not
want to admit a separation of the U.S. is in progress even though it is a fact.
They want to believe the false left/right paradigm applies to the regular
population because they don't want to accept the inevitability of the breakup
of our country. They want to believe that if we just deal with the elites at
the top of the pyramid that the division at the bottom will simply disappear.
This is naive.
There are principles and ideals which are mutually exclusive; they
cannot exist within the same society at the same time. There are moments in
history when tribes form and cults rise, and generally, these groups grow from
either a desire to control others or a desire to remain free. We are living in
such times.
The political left, according to every metric and statistic, is an
antithesis to conservative principles of small government, decentralization,
personal liberty, free markets, family values, etc. This does not mean all
conservatives agree on every aspect of society. We don't all share the same
religious fervor or adherence to the same denomination. We don't all have the
same ideas on what constitutes "merit," and the things we value in
terms of character traits and life choices vary. We definitely don't all agree
on solutions to the problems and enemies we face every day, which is why
organizing resistance to the mandates has taken so much time and energy. That
said, we ALL agree that the leftist agenda is poison and that it is not
something we can continue to live with.
I have also heard it argued that if the U.S. is broken into two
parts that this will weaken us to threats from the outside. Many conservatives
don't like to accept notions of secession or the left/right paradigm because
they fear foreign aggression from places like China, for instance. I would
point out that this thinking lacks a sense of priority. We have to deal with
the leftists/socialists/communists in our own house first before we can deal
with communists on the other side of the world.
Keeping this defunct marriage between leftist culture and
conservative culture going just for the sake of appearances is the most
destructive policy we can have in the long run. My thinking is this: If
we separate there are two possible results... we go our own separate ways
peacefully and the conservative states will continue to succeed economically
and socially because we will have freedom, while leftist states will continue
to sink into debt and will continue to bleed citizens due to oppression. Or we
separate and the leftists try to stop us using force, and we go to war. And
make no mistake, they ultimately lose.
The latter is not the most pleasant option but in either case,
freedom remains in the world. It is time to stop treating separation and
division as integrally bad. Sometimes it is healthy and necessary. The old
phrase "divide and conquer" is a misnomer for our particular
situation. Often, nations and cultures are conquered from within because they
refuse to separate and define their moral boundaries. The right to divide is
actually one of the most powerful forms of liberty there is, and it is one of
the greatest protections against authoritarian movements in our midst.

Since the late 60s and 70s too many have been dumbed down; they don't know history or how socialism is a catalyst for disaster.
Everyone we know is stocking up, arming up...what does this tell you?!
It's disturbing to see how many morons in the US still support Joe [RAT[ Biden-he & his party are a scourge on our nation.
