Liberals Want to Break You By Forcing You to Lie

It’s annoying to be lied to, even if you get paid
to be lied to, but being lied to is merely an
insult. The liar thinks you’re stupid enough to fall
for it. That’s annoying, but you can get over being
insulted, particularly if you make a suggestion like
“Save your lies for your idiot pals back at the
coffee shop,” or note that “Maybe you hang out with
a lot of morons at Gumbo State University’s School
of Oppression Studies, but you need to stop talking
to me before I slug you in the goatee.” And then you
are done.
But if they can make you lie, then they are on the
way to breaking you.
And that’s what today’s liberals seek to do to us,
the decent, the employable, the normal. In a move
that stunned America, Vox recently ran a long piece
that made sense. It was titled The
Smug Style in American Liberalism and it took
the left to task for its utterly baseless conviction
that it is morally and intellectually superior to
the people who actually built, supported and
defended this country. Though the author can’t bring
himself to actually contradict any liberal
scripture, its point is that liberals, for reasons
which defy all evidence and experience, are
convinced that they are smart and we are dumb. But
the article also fails to fully explore
progressives’ psychotic need to force us normals to
bend to their will.
They want to break us, to make us love Big Brother.
As the socialists knew (the real socialists, not the
Fairness Gnomes and Equality Elves of the collective
imagination of the Bernie Boobs), one of the most
powerful means of control and domination is to
humiliate and demoralize your opponents by forcing
them to deny the truth. Hence the left’s fixation on
enforcing political correctness and its use as a
tool to force us to bend to the libs’ collectivist
collective will by making us repeat obvious
untruths.
It’s not unlike the comrades in the old USSR who
sang songs about the glories of socialism, hailing
the stunning success of the latest five year plan
but then returning to their cold, cramped quarters
to wash down their stale bread ration with
retina-risking black market vodka that Ivan from
Medium Industrial Equipment Factory No. 27 distilled
in the radiator of his VAZ-2101.
By making you lie about the wonders of Bernie’s
honeymoon destination in contrast to the squalid
objective reality before your eyes, you became
complicit in the Soviets’ regime of lies.
And leftist lies are all around us here today.
Today, truth-telling is a revolutionary act of
insurgency. So let’s fight the power.
No, all men are not rapists. And no, there is no
such thing as rape culture. One in five college
students isn’t raped at college, and no, regretting
six months and one gender studies seminar later that
you eagerly suggested double-teaming a couple of
TKEs after swilling a pint of Jack Daniels isn’t
rape either. Just ask Haven
Monaghan. Now try to go say that on some campus.
What they call “climate change” this week is a lie.
The Earth is not getting significantly warmer
because of human activity, nor are the ice caps
melting and the polar bears and cuddly little
penguins dying.
“Renewable” energy is technologically and
economically unviable. Tesla’s don’t run on
electricity; they run on fossil fuels that gets
burned to create electricity. The climate scam is
just the latest way for leftists to pry more of our
money and sovereignty from us, like the ice age
scam, the acid rain scam and the ozone hole scam.
But you better not say so. John Oliver might
demolish you in an epic takedown on that show no one
watches that comes on afterVeep.
Of course, sometimes liberals’ sanctions are more
like rewards. All we have to do to keep Michael
Moore at bay, to ward off wizened hacks like
Springsteen and to avoid Pearl Jams’ tiresome
wailings is state the obvious truth that if you were
born with a penis, you’re a man? Count me in.
Look, we feel terrible about your very real feelings
that you aren’t the sex you are, and we don’t want
to add to your pain, but the truth is the truth and
we are not cruel or terrible or inaccurate when we
refuse to pretend a delusion is reality. You can
dope yourself with chemicals and submit to surgical
mutilation, but there are things called chromosomes
and they make the call. Chromosomes fall into the
category of something called “science” – you know,
that thing you libs say we conservatives hate when
we refuse to believe Bill Nye when he frets that a
three day heat wave in Phoenix foretells a fiery
global apocalypse? Regardless, our wives and
daughters are not going to endure creepy pervs –
we’re really mostly worried about skeevy straight
men pretending to be trans so they can get their
jollies lurking in women’s toilets – so that we can
somehow prove ourselves compliant with a God-free
liberal moral code that encourages us to shout ever
more eagerly that the Emperor’s new clothes are
fabulous.
Crime is caused by criminals, and despite what we
learned on Law and Order, the perp is rarely if ever
the born again Christian businessman.
No, you shouldn’t be proud to be an unemployed high
school dropout with four kids by five different
fathers.
Yes, far too many illegals come here not to work but
to commit crimes. You could ask Kate Steinle about
that, but she’s dead.
There. Those are objective truths, but objective
truth is irrelevant to the left. They need you to
lie because when you lie you hand them power. And if
you refuse to lie, if you try and rely on the fact
that the facts support a different conclusion, then
you will be hounded and persecuted. But if they can
make you lie, then they have broken you.
Oh well. So we have a fight ahead of us, a fight
pitting lies against truth, and comfort against our
self-respect. So let’s fight.
