Paul's Passing Thoughts

“Caste is the tie that binds; the Iranian government is moral because they understand the total depravity of man. But what about the elephant in the room? That is, they execute gay people. Well, we can’t talk about that right now because caste isn’t done using victimhood to obtain socialism.” 

Today, we see the massive infatuation with totalitarian regimes by young people, primarily Millennials, and the liberal press. The core of this infatuation is grounded in fear of pure individualism; the idea that you sink or swim based on the sum and substance of your own life. The only safety net is you.

Why is America the most giving country on earth? First, gaining satisfaction from helping others is a natural attribute of most people because we are created in the image of God. So, in a country where the individual is free to build the best self possible, giving is going to be greatly facilitated; people are going to have the means to feed their natural desire to gain satisfaction from giving.

Ironically, religionists reject evolution while touting the idea of human total depravity. Both ideas create an antithesis of individualism. Are you totally depraved or a mere animal living by pure instinct? Yet, individualism is a very strong force; in spite of all of the forces against it in religion, education, politics, etc., it remains the most influential mentality in this country. At least presently, that is. America is the home of the free and land of the brave because individualism demands freedom and requires courage. Individualism overcomes the fear of failure and seeks its self-esteem and dignity in self-accomplishment.

The total inability of mankind philosophy always walks with a telling fatal flaw in its ideology, and it goes something like this: “Hark, all of humanity is totally depraved and enslaved to its animal instincts, what to do? Alas! Surely God or whatever power runs the universe has appointed a ruling class to save humanity from itself!”

That, on its face, is immediately suspect. We call that a caste system, and caste has ruled the world from the beginning until Americanism showed up. Please understand, caste defines moralism as knowing that humanity is totally unable and totally depraved.  That belief defines everything pure and moral. The decadence of the elite has nothing to do with their right to rule over the great unwashed; what they supposedly know about humanity gives them that right and nothing else. To be unwashed means you don’t understand how depraved you are. Hence, Trump is the most immoral president ever, while Bill Clinton is as pure as the white wind-driven snow. This narrative perplexes you because you don’t understand how total inability defines moralism. Also note that this ideology transcends politics and religion…

…and statecraft. Caste is the tie that binds; the Iranian government is moral because they understand the total depravity of man. But what about the elephant in the room? That is, they execute gay people. Well, we can’t talk about that right now because caste isn’t done using victimhood to obtain socialism.

So, meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Democrats are in a race to see who can advocate for the most categories of victimhood. One category is reproductive rights for transgender men. Of course, the goal here is divide and conquer. What is your identity? Well, whatever it is, we need a law that protects your rights and anyone who doesn’t sign the law is a racist…and so it goes.

But historically, socialism and its kissing totalitarian cousin communism have never protected the rights of those off the beaten path. NEVER. Complex individual issues do not aide the state. Remember, in socialism et al, the primary purpose of the individual is to support the state, and a person’s value is determined by their ability to do so. And by the way, as a practical matter, homosexuality is not seen as something that increases the population of a state and governments need people to thrive. No personal right that does not benefit a socialist state will ever be defended or upheld and you can certainly include reproductive rights as well. For example, in China, the number of children you are allowed to have is mandated by law. There is no so-called “right to choose.”

Civil rights advocated by any socialist mindset is a total sham. Historically, victims are useful idiots until socialists obtain power via division and chaos. Socialists believe the masses are unable and stupid, and unfortunately, lazy thinking by the masses enforces that theory. In their propaganda, socialists seem to mock the people they are claiming to defend with the likes of, “The Peoples Republic of China.” China is a people’s republic? Though laughable, billions of people fell for it.

In November, we will see how many in the U.S. are still falling for this scheme that has been around since the dinosaurs. A landslide for Trump would be historic for the following reason:

For only the second time in human history, the people voice a resounding “NO” to the lie of statism and its use of victimhood to gain power and destroy real freedom.
