Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the complete breakdown of progressives into violent, deranged lunatics, is a sign of panic. The most dangerous animal is a cornered one and the progressives have cornered themselves. They managed to keep President Trump bottled up and impotent, with the Russian collusion hoax for three years, with the absurd impeachment for almost another year, then the Kung Flu and now open riots on our streets. All of which show a deep terror of the man by the CCP, the progressive faction and indeed, despots the world over. This is an election year and they realize their candidate is fatally flawed, a rapist with dementia, along with their message of poverty, hopelessness and oppression, are not a winning combination. So we have a complete breakdown of the progressive faction into animals.
The progressive faction appears to be blind deaf and stupid to the message they are sending to the American people. That message is, “Put us back into power or we will burn this nation to the ground!” While it has emotional impact, and puts a very real threat into play, the underlying theme is not flattering. Someone willing to burn it to the ground, if they can’t have it, probably shouldn’t have it to begin with. Take Solomon’s example of the two mothers who claimed a baby. He said, “Cut it in half and give half to each.” The mother who said, “NO! I’ll give up my half so the baby can live!” Was the one Solomon awarded the child to. Since she cared for the child more than winning. If we accept this wisdom, then the progressive faction, by it’s actions, is proving it’s unworthiness to run the nation.
Of course, alienating the American people isn’t a smart move in an election year. Even with a monopoly on the message and messengers. This is especially true now that there is not a monopoly on the message and the messengers. Oh, the progressive faction is fighting underhandedly, with vitriol and spite to regain that monopoly control, but they are failing. Their apparatchiks at Twitter, Google, Facebook, Youtube, unbiased media and the rest, hold phenomenal power over the flow of information, but their government granted monopolies are not perfect. Willing to destroy their reputation, in a business model where reputation is king, they have proven their allegiance to the progressive faction and it’s goals of total 1984 style government, holding out the possibility of a Brave New World later.
Which brings us to another salient point, that to progressives, the ends justify the means. Remember, the progressive message today is… they will right the historic wrongs, by oppressing the oppressors. This is the core philosophy of post modernism. They will find victims, and oppress their oppressors, in the name of the victims. Violence is often seen as a bad thing, and it is, if it is done to progressives, but done to another, to right a historic wrong… it is virtuous, Even when the person victimized had nothing to do with the historic wrong… because all that matters is the emotional cathartic effect of punishing someone, it matters not who. So if the progressive faction’s active arms, BLM and ANTIFA, burn down a few buildings, kill a few folks and steal some stuff, it is perfectly acceptable, it is social justice.
What manner of justice though? Is it justice as Thrasymachus described it, as a means to power, or Socrates idea of Justice, as a means to order society? One thing the progressive’s view of justice is not, is equal treatment, fairness and living the Golden Rule. It is something less. People who would burn it down, rather than allow it to be run by another, do not love their nation, they love power, they don’t harbor love in their hearts, it rots with envy and avarice instead. In November we’ll find out if the American people like the riots, looting, hoaxes and diseases, or would like a return to normalcy. Any political faction who’s power is based on poor, angry and hopeless people, need there to be more poor, angry and hopeless people. To that end, riots, hoaxes, panic and diseases are just the ticket!
Sincerely,
John Pepin
