What If They Really Mean It?

The most dangerous mistake conservatives make may be assuming the left is lying—rather than sincerely living inside a different reality.

The most dangerous mistake conservatives make may be assuming the left is lying—rather than sincerely living inside a different reality.​

What if the greatest error the political right keeps making is not underestimating the left’s intelligence—but overestimating its cynicism?

For years, conservatives have comforted themselves with the belief that progressive talking points are mostly theatrical. Surely no one actually believes biological sex is a “social construct,” that borders are imaginary, but student loans are sacred, or that math—as well as outer space—itself can be racist.

Surely this is all rhetorical camouflage—power-seeking dressed up as compassion, a smokescreen for redistribution and control.

But what if that assumption is wrong?

What if they really mean it?

What if the progressive worldview isn’t an act, but a sincere alternative reality—one with its own physics, biology, economics, and moral logic, all loosely connected by vibes and enforced by accusation?

In this reality, men do not exist unless they identify as such, women can have penises, and chromosomes are a hate crime. Gravity is real, but only until it interferes with equity outcomes. A criminal is not someone who commits a crime, but someone society has “failed,” which is to say someone who failed to receive enough taxpayer-funded therapy before pulling the trigger.

In this universe, the police are both omnipresent agents of fascism and mysteriously absent when crime spikes. Prisons are immoral, except for ideological dissenters, who are best handled by HR departments and speech tribunals. Fraud is real and a crime, but since everybody steals 8 billion dollars, it’s really no biggie. Violence is never acceptable—unless it’s described as “mostly peaceful,” at which point it becomes a form of interpretive dance.

The world wonders.

Blah, I've said for decades that "Trying to reason with a leftist dem is like trying to teach a monkey to do a math problem".

I suspect it’s why they can’t meme well. Their memes require the viewer to be mentally ill and living in the same alternate reality they’re living in for them to be funny.

^Somebody put some thought into that one.

When a lunatic tells you who they are, the smart thing is to believe them.

The so-called "progressives" follow what is actually very primitive ideology that involves defining all people according to tribe and then assigning rights based upon such.

They don't come up with any of this shit on their own, as they are simply conforming to groupthink reinforced through a simple conditioned response. If they say one thing, they receive praise and if they say something else, condemnation.

Their new realities are ever shifting, and they simply accept the new reality that others have created for them while discarding their old reality just as easily.

Yep.

I have yet to encounter so much as a single leftist here who is sentient enough to realize that they DIDN"T think women had penises ten years ago.

We are at war with Eurasia. We have always been at war with Eurasia.

This is the quote from 1984 that I always love to reference.

I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party.
