Their parents turned them into pussies who think the world revolves around them and they are special.

pass it in at the end of the year as you're final solution.

Lol I enjoy that you've appropriated their methodology of unpacking a new idea / arguement.

Leftist ideologiy is fundamentally based around two things: 1) Absolutely everything is subjective. 2) Anything that anyone else has that I do not have must either be stolen or destroyed. Because I am envious of it.

It’s easy to understand when you realize how the mind of a leftist works. They’re not “pro”-rights of minorities, animals, women, impoverished nations, or any other cause for the disenfranchised behind which they claim to rally. Note that they always blame some successful, dominant group in society for the ills they oppose and seek to punish that group on behalf of the supposedly disenfranchised.

It is not and never has been about helping the downtrodden rise.

It is about destroying the successful, the effective, and the independent members of society. Not because they are doing anything that actually violates the rights of others, but precisely because they are successful, effective, and independent. Their sin is not some act of violence or fraud, but the mere state of being healthy human beings capable of sustaining themselves.

Rand called this “hatred of the good for being good,” and it embodies the soul of the modern left, or at least its useful idiot arm–SJWs, environmentalists, occupy, white knights, etc.). They will side with anything that is anti-US, anti-white male, anti-capitalist, and anti-Western.

Kaczynski made some comments on this tendency among leftists that were somewhat insightful, but I recommend reading Rand’s essay, The Age of Envy:

Today we live in the age of envy.

Envy is not the emotion I have in mind, but it is the clearest manifestation of an emotion that has remained nameless. It is the only eminent of a complex emotional sum that men have permitted themselves to identify.

Envy is regarded by most people as a petty, superficial emotion and, therefore, it serves as a semihuman cover for so inhuman an emotion that those who feel it seldom dare admit it even to themselves. That emotion is hatred. Hatred of the good for being good.

This hatred is not resentment against some prescribed view the good with which one does not agree. Hatred of the good for being the good means hatred of that which one regards as good by one’s own (conscious or subconscious) judgement. It means hatred of a person for possessing a value or virtue one regards as desirable.

If a child wants to get good grades in school, but is unable or unwilling to achieve them and begins to hate the children who do, that is hatred of the good. The nature of the particular value a man chooses to hold is not the primary factor in this issue (although irrational values may contribute a great deal to the formation of that emotion). The primary factor and distinguishing characteristic is an emotional mechanism set in reverse: a response of hatred, not toward human vices, but toward human virtues.

To be exact, the emotional mechanism is not set in reverse, but is set one way: its exponents do not experience love forever men. Their emotional range is limited to hatred or indifference. It is impossible to experience love, which is a response to values, when one’s automated response to values is hatred.

Indeed. Have a laugh and argue with the professor sometime. Don't if you don't want an A in the course though.

They didn't have Tumblr in the 70's

driftersgold

They are trying to build a prison to live in but they don't realize it.

Gerplunckamo

They swung a little too far to the left, that's what happened.

What? When did white people become the minority? Pretty sure the right is still blaming Mexicans and the left, while the left is blaming old white dudes, and the right. So I guess you're right.

TheDude2

Bombing the shit out of the middle east and they protest halloween costumes (that I haven't even seen)

psychosomatic

Well, during Vietnam we had the draft. Today's war doesn't affect college students, and they need something to protest that affects them. /s or not /s because it is true idk.

TheDude2

They had student deferments.

Yeah forgot about that, but not all their friends and family did.

Religion may be made up fantasy. But it gave the whole of Western civilization the rules to live and thrive. In the absense of its' influence, literal insanity is spreading in the vacuum. Jesus is the superhero we need, not deserve - without shame, without regret, and most importantly without pennance we are doomed to tumblr.

jewsbadnews

And Hitler.

Spacehuman

Western Civilization existed before Christianity and thrived despite it not because of it's influence. Your argument is a knowing lie (a sin) because it should be obvious that religion is not the only nor even the best basis for a cultures psychology.

Nationalist

It's not like the Roman's didn't have their own beliefs and values though. Religion just serves as an easy excuse to give weight to these values to people too dumb to comprehend their true value.

salvia_d

Damn! That's the best argument I've heard for religion. Makes me think twice. Thanks.

Indoctrination in the education system.

OBEY.

goatboy

Globalists funded liberal progressives to fill most of the department chair positions at what used to be the best schools. Now those schools are Marxist indoctrination camps and only idiots send their kids to them. If you want to protect your kids, buy books and art. Spend 40K a year on great art and classical books. Teach your children to engage with genius from the past. Do not send them to a re-education camp. Definitely don't pay to send them to one, just because the camp has an impressive brand name.

Also, mock and endlessly ridicule all donors to schools- the more "elite" the school the more ridicule you should throw at its donors for supporting the idiot brands. Destroy their brands so we can introduce something better. They want critical theory. Fine, let's teach them what its like to be on the receiving end of critical theory.

unis outside of america are also an attractive option

Mandatory "cultural studies" classes with professors with mandates to produce "studies" on a yearly basis. Distilled down by decades, this is what we get.
