Negotiating difference

The ability to tolerate genuine difference—to be GENUINELY tolerant—is largely a function of how comfortable you are in your own skin. If your sense of self and community is strong, you do your thing and other people do their thing, and even if you dislike some things they do, and they dislike some things you do, you both recognize peaceful corxistence as MUTUALLY beneficial, so where needed you negotiate differences such that both sides are both equally happy and unhappy.

This is adult behavior, seen both at the individual and social levels.

The fundamental problem with the Left wing style is that they want to manage difference by DICTATING—through all means possible, includinv emotional, intellectual, and always eventually physical violence—that WE ALL HAVE TO BE AND THINK THE SAME, at least with regard to whatever issue they are freaking out about that day.

This is a style, a mode of being and interacting, that arises in FEAR. I might even call it a paranoid style, since it arises from the manic anxiety that someone somewhere may challenge their fragile egos, and thus call into question the edifice of lies amd bad ideas—mostly originating in a childish need to avoid mature responsibility—that constitutes the whole of their shallow, callow, and weak world view.

I might even term this a pseudo-culture, an ersatz, hollow culture; a tribe built on endlessly repeated and empty banalities, which uses the WORDS of true, real cultures, while retaining none of the deeply felt meanings and wise purposes behind them.”

I have from time to time wondered what happens to such people if they DO win. If they conquer the Earth and all its people, what do they THEN live for?  Their form of self creation through mutual self congratulation requires an Other, a nemesis.  This its defining feature and radical similarity with, say, the Nazis.

Yes, you build your beautiful cities and populate them with submissive people, but their souls are gone. Their selves are gone. All that is left is a superficial, unhappy shell, existing solely to enact a dismal, dishonest play on a stage seen only by fellow actors.

These are interesting times. The timing of the raid on Trump was not coincidental. They just passed a bill turning the IRS into a sort of personal political Army controlled by our senile kings handlers; and Trump—and the primaries—just proved the show trials—of Jan. 6 and Alex Jones—were not even remotely as they had imagined. Being narcissists, OF COURSE they don’t understand the psychologies or true needs of normies, and of course they consistently overestimate their own power and attractiveness.

As bad as this news is, I cannot help but feel a note of desperation.  All aggressions run the real risk of alienating former allies. The goal of an unopposed One Party State—everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State—has really become indisputable. Their cards are on the table. They are not the good ones. They are not protecting Americans. On the contrary, they are attacking non-elites by every means their devious and sociopathic minds can concoct.

In this war for civilization, for true human progress, we are perhaps in our darkest hour. We are where Churchill found himself in his own darkest hour, when everyone was telling him to give up.

I will admit to crying in that movie when the King visited him in the middle of the night to tell him it made him ANGRY to think of throwing in the towel to barbarians.

As Churchill himself said somewhere, its impossible to see the end at the beginning. All we can do is determine to never quit, and to do every day something to make things better. If there is a path, it will be revealed step by step.
