Yeah, I’m saying the same thing again a slightly different way.

I’m interacting with folks on the internet, and have reached a really incredible conclusion. For many years, whenever unemployment was relatively high (most of Obama’s eight years, for example) that was a “failure of Capitalism”. The people without jobs were in misery, it was terrible, the world needed Democrats to save them.

But now things have inverted. We have 25 MILLION people made at least temporarily jobless due to government coercion and mandate, and they want them to STAY that way. There is no pity. Wanting to go back to work is “right wing extremism”. “Right wingers” are going to kill people. They are murderers, more or less, who don’t care how many millions of Americans live or die.

Do you see this? They literally want MISERY to be part of our shared reality permanently. All the time. Without stop. Why would they ever want to enact effective policy when they need people who to be suffering so they can lie and claim they both have the solution and want to solve the problem?

It INFURIATED them that our jobless rate was so low. It made them MISERABLE that across all demographics we were at historic lows.

Now, they YELL at anyone who thinks that maybe just maybe the unemployment being CREATED by the government might be something we should take a hard look at, particularly since NONE of the models of mass death and destruction have come true.

And why have they not learned? New York and Seattle were hard hit. Why were the hospitals built to handle the excess never used? Do any of them REALLY think a wave of any sort is coming, or that it would if we opened up tomorrow? I don’t know. But they certainly don’t care. There is zero sense of urgency to lighten the burden of the working poor. They don’t CARE about the working poor, despite those people–many of whom are women and minorities–being the people they claim they uniquely look after, the people who just couldn’t make it without them.  With friends like that, nobody needs enemies.

I have for some years described what is commonly called “Liberalism” in this country as an emotionally sick form of codependence, but it is really worse than that. Most of the people who are not part of the system clearly seem to be guilty of at least that. But the CORE is really just pushing words to get richer and richer, and they need failure to keep the game going.

The whole things makes my mind spin. If this does not enrage you, you have not understood it.
