The Petulant, Infantile and Dangerous Left

From Michael Smith at The Unlicensed Punditry blog:

There is perhaps no better example of insanity than the progressive left and the way they constantly scam black people in America – and the way segments of the black population fall for it every time. The progressive left, largely a bunch of white radicals, have been doing it since the 60’s. I actually have come to believe Black Lives Matter was not a grass roots movement created by black Americans upset about racial inequalities in policing, but rather a white leftist creation designed as a mechanism to foment the class warfare necessary to support a collectivist insurrection.

Whomever came up with the idea, it certainly seems that once again, the black community is allowing itself to be used by others who have an agenda separate and apart from that which is best for black Americans. Certainly these messianic, elitist, white savior progressives are only interested in agitation and “revolution”.

America HAS witnessed the growth of a remarkable movement, of which BLM is only a part and sadly, this movement has become a narrow majority, especially in terms of power and influence.

This is a leftist movement of immediate and violent opposition to anything not of the left, a kneejerk reaction to anything and everything not coming from the playbook of the revolutionaries regardless of whether their opposition has any basis in fact or reality.

They reflexively oppose everything, often things they believed yesterday, never bothering to ask if their opposition has any basis in truth.  [Doug here: that's the problem with The Left: almost everthing they believe is NOT TRUE.]

So, what if that which these movements are reflexively opposed is actually proper, good, and right?

What if the autonomic resistance is just a version of opposition defiant disorder (a real thing), a simple psychological need to oppose at all costs (if you have ever experienced a recalcitrant two-year old, you have seen this) no matter how much agreement would produce the best outcome for the person or group?

Many times, as I have seen with my own children going through the “terrible twos”, the opposition and melt-down fits do not have a purpose outside of a need for immediate attention, a need to say, “I’m here, you are ignoring what I want, and I’m going to let you know about the magnitude of your folly of not paying attention to me!”

But beyond the “Look at me!” aspect of such fits, there are logically deducible consequences. Whatever the genesis of such reflexive tantrums, the simple fact is that when one reflexively opposes what is right, moral, and good, it logically follows that such a position would be wrong, immoral, and evil.

Way back in 2013, blogger extraordinaire, Ace of the blog Ace of Spades HQ, noted the ties between these constant fits of leftist pique and the ties to Marxist ideology. He wrote:

“Marxism is premised upon this. Marx declared the only correct response to the dominant culture was spiteful contempt, indignant anger, and constant subversion. Were the dominant culture mostly evil that might be a decent response. But as it’s not mostly evil, Marx’s prescription is itself an urging towards evil.”

If you have ever wondered why the left has decided that everything about America, America’s constitution, legal system, police, culture, and racial majority is evil and wrong, this is why. They must fabricate a dichotomy between themselves and America to create a reason for their efforts at class warfare. The only justification for their dangerous and reprehensible actions is the illogical and totally fabricated idea they are fighting a historically oppressive, racist, bigoted nation, one conceived and sustained in and by evil.

But America is not oppressive, racist, bigoted, or evil.

It makes me incredibly sad that black America can’t see that when the Communist Party USA, the Revolutionary Communist Party, Iran’s Supreme Council and China’s CCP and Xinhua News Agency are all on your side, you might be getting used as a bunch of useful idiots.

But doing evil and calling it good is an example of another justification used by the Marxists – the concept of “revolutionary truth”. In yet another example in a legion of examples of contradiction, the “revolutionary truth” is that set of words that exists only to support the revolution. In other words, something is not true because it is factual and correct, it is only “true” if it advances the revolution.

Whether they like it or not, there is no “revolutionary truth”.  There is only the objective truth.  Anything else is a lie, and a lie is a lie no matter what color it is painted. And opposing good for the sole purpose of opposition is evil.

And that is the truth.
