This is our moment to control the narrative. . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The noble motives that Haymond wants to virtue-signal to the world through her political action get undermined in the very next sentence. She is good, and there will be no dissent about that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Who are the bigots and the xenophobes? That\u2019s easy. They self-identify by opposing Haymond or voting against the way Haymond wants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not only is a political disagreement with Haymond impermissible, it constitutes an offense personal to Haymond on spiritual and metaphysical levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What if the purported bigots and xenophobes have a good reason for voting against the act of government that Haymond supports? Doesn\u2019t matter. The narrative is under Haymond\u2019s control and she\u2019s not interested in debate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is just one example of the Left\u2019s paradigm. You could take all of the social pathologies the Left virtue-signal about and pair them up with policies and actions the Left have assigned to the domain of government. They reinforce each other in tautological circles of reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The election of Donald Trump catalyzed the Left on a metaphysical level. The Left didn\u2019t just lose an election. They watched, and continue to endure, insults to all that is just and holy in their world. The string of hate-proxy social pathologies the Left obsess upon are all in a high state of excitement right now, and will apparently remain so for the foreseeable future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Left seek something big and invasive&#8211;they want your mind. An election for the Left is just a step in a direction, a weapon in the broader battle for your head space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They won\u2019t admit straight out that they want control over your thoughts because that would put people off. But look at Haymond\u2019s political construct above and do a little deductive reasoning. See if you can find any space left over after she\u2019s through. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And consider this is just one of a whole basket of the Left\u2019s political vectors, all motivated by meta-level social pathologies that must be justly resolved, but in reality can never be finalized until utopia is achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They leave no room for any individual thought in your brain after they get done with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To be fair, conservatives have meta constructs of a religious nature too. God-given rights described in the Declaration of Independence codified into legislative and constitutional enforcements may be considered as metaphysical in nature as the Left\u2019s basket of social pathologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Both sides\u2019 metaphysics can be distinguished by; those that support the collective and those that support the individual, those that expand the domain of government and those that empower the individual against the usurpations of government, those that control your mind and those that set your mind free to create, those that are tautological and those that are unconstrained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Free cultures award virtue on the basis of what one creates. Collective cultures award virtue to people who talk about it. Obviously, one of these paradigms leads to more tangible progress, and it isn\u2019t the one that calls itself progressive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Consider the educational malpractice of legions of young people taught in public school each day the language of the Left&#8217;s social pathologies. Will they grow up to be Haymonds?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local Indivisible, Elizabeth Haymond, wrote today, \u201cIt is not enough for us to simply win enough votes, we must use this as an opportunity to condemn bigotry and xenophobia across our state.
