From Robert Eaton:
The most dangerous ideologies aren’t the ones that sound evil. They’re the ones that sound morally superior, while quietly destroying the systems that keep societies functioning. Woke, progressive ideology didn’t fail because people are bad. It failed because it’s built on false assumptions about human nature, power, and incentives. It assumes people are inherently good. History says otherwise. It assumes borders don’t matter. Every functioning nation says they do. It assumes government control is safer than individual freedom, even though government has shown, time and time again, that it is corrupt, inefficient, and self-serving. Open borders were sold as compassion. In reality, they produce chaos, exploitation, overwhelmed systems, and human suffering at scale. Unlimited welfare was sold as kindness. In reality, it traps people in dependency, erodes dignity, and punishes productivity. Centralized government power was sold as fairness. In reality, it concentrates authority in the hands of people who are the least accountable.
Politicians constantly talk about “sharing the wealth”, yet many enter office making $150K a year and leave as multi-millionaires. IIhan Omar is a perfect example of taking office broke and a few years later having a net worth of $30+ Million. She happens to also be one of the loudest woke voices. Imagine that. That isn’t justice. That’s hypocrisy.
Woke ideology teaches that systems are evil but human intentions are pure. Reality shows the opposite: systems are neutral, people corrupt them. It reframes strength as oppression. Boundaries as cruelty. Order as violence. It replaces responsibility with grievance. Reality with moral posturing. Wisdom with slogans. Worst of all, it trains people to believe evil doesn’t really exist, only trauma, misunderstanding, or “different perspectives.”
A worldview that denies evil cannot defend against it. A worldview that ignores incentives cannot govern. A worldview built on feelings instead of reality collapses under its own weight.
This isn’t about hating people. It’s about rejecting an ideology that sounds virtuous, feels compassionate, but consistently produces the opposite of what it promises. You don’t build a stable society by pretending human nature has changed. You build it by acknowledging reality and designing systems strong enough to withstand it.
Buddy I work with plowing snow was telling me today his sixteen year old daughter has exams and they give them a cheat sheet.
This is in rural Ontario.
Like no wonder kids aren’t to bright.
That’s certainly true but the ones that shine lift your spirits they are just so rare.
And I doubt much of the Canadian population realises it’s caught up with us.
A few years ago I watched a Jordan Peterson video where he’s speaking about human nature’s easy ability to be evil. He used the example that many people believe, that if they lived in Hitler’s Germany, they would be Oskar Schindler, where in fact they far more likely be an SS member, or be the first one to rat out the Jews in their neighborhood. Leftist ideology requires there be a scapegoat, be it a dirty Jew, evil businessman, or in Canada’s case, an Orange buffoon. One need only witness the sheep who bought into Carney’s sweater wearing, Dad persona, the only person capable of negotiating with Trump. The elbows up sheep are no different from the many Karen’s on the lookout for unmasked citizens five years ago.
Wrong.
You don’t have to design them. Societies that endure inherit systems that work from their ancestors. That, to give my favourite example, is what the Jews have done, passing down their Law handed down to Moses by the Lord generation after generation.
It’s when madmen in authority who think these inherited systems aren’t in their narrow self-interest (they don’t let you steal, lie, kill your neighbour, sell his daughter into white slavery, that sort of thing, just because it’s easier and more fun than working for what you want) and try to replace them with something more to their liking that a society starts living on borrowed time.
The appeal of the madmen to the misplaced empathy and/or the own narrow self-interest of AWFULs (who love cute cuddly brown babies but can’t be bothered raising their own, much being faithful to the fathers of their children) is just the sales pitch used to turn the gullible against what works for people who aren’t madmen.
Rhe madmen’s breaking what has worked since time immemorial amd replacing it with something that is so obviously unsustainable (for example, encouraging women with any business bearing children to stop having any, at least by men with any business being fathers) is in the long-term interest of no one at all. It’s a recipe for extinction.
That’s all right by the madmen. As they do not believe in any god but money and power—much less eternal punishment—they reckon that if they die in their own bed, unpunished and at the height of their wealth, power and glory, anything that comes after hardly matters. Consequences are for slaves and fools—including their luckless heirs, left to die for their fathers’ sins when the barbarians burst through the gates.
“Socialism is wonderful,it is just that no one has done it right,,yet”
Nevermind the same results everytime..
Mass murder is always the “humane way” to argue with people who see right through you.
Ask any Libtard.
Now, now, John. Give the Khmer Rouge credit for coming the closest to what socialist theoreticians had in mind—abolishing markets, money, and everything they associated with the parasitism of the bourgeoisie—everything but work and death.
The experiment killed a quarter of Cambodia’s population and might have killed another quarter had the Vietnamese not driven the Khmer Rouge back into the jungle. The experiment was a failure, one that even Pol Pot’s Chinese supporters knew would fail and tried to discourage Pol Pot from trying, and nobody’s likely to try running the experiment again (at least not on his home soil), even the most hard-bitten “socialists” in the West.
But the Khmer Rouge came closer to “pure” socialism than anyone before or since.
That’s why the “socialists” deny it’s socialism. They don’t want to have to explain why they don’t actually mean business about a truly classless society, and only seem to want to expropriate capitalists who don’t owe their souls to Beijing or the Davos crowd.
when the vietnamese army crossed into kampuchia (formerly cambodia) and put the screws on pol pot trying to outdo mao, well, l thought, given the situation, at least vietnamese communism isnt the worst of the worst.
I think it’s more a voice of narcissism than a voice of wokeness. “I am important, therefore what I want is important”. Add lack of critical thinking, lack of prediction of consequences, and no morality or respect for fellow humans and that can lead to a whole lot of bad results.
also, my impression at the time, pol pot had an ideal population size in mind and simply killed and killed and killed like you would flies to *get* this ideal. if true *that* is seriously warped. insanely psychotically warped.
and as such, the purest of pure communism
