The
Importance to Liberals of Ignorance and Stupidity
By Jeffrey T. Brown, 8/19/18. American
Thinker.
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere
ignorance and conscientious stupidity." So said Martin Luther
King, Jr. The danger lies, in part, in the fact that these
characteristics are both intellectual and moral defects, which render the
possessor of these flaws vulnerable to manipulation by those who use the
illusion of morality to accomplish utterly immoral ends. Never in
our lifetimes have these two flaws been more proudly demonstrated and
celebrated than now, in reaction to the presidency of Donald
Trump. Because of his effect, the incoherent emotionalism of the
left, coupled with leftists' carefully taught inability to think rationally or
critically, has been revealed to us on a disturbingly grand
scale. The extent had been largely hidden from us for decades as
liberals and progressives felt safe and thus had no need to openly fight for
the overthrow that was coming incrementally, without violent conflict.
Now, as their sacred cows are being corralled and butchered by the
one man they didn't think existed, a non-politician who is an apostate from
their political gutter faith, leftists have had to reveal themselves, showing
us their innermost selves as they angrily fight all that this country has been
and may still be under years of liberal garbage and neglect. As
unsettling as the reveal has been, it is an unexpected gift that we ignore at
peril of our lives and those of our children. For now, they seek to
persuade the non-believers with their words and fake
morality. Eventually, however, the unshakable will have to be dealt
with more severely, once the cries and tears are exhausted and the lies laid
bare.
The left's war for the wealth of the nation, if not its hearts and
minds, is now being waged more viciously, both politically and
culturally. The political war plan is being carried out in the agencies
of government and culturally through the media's careful control of information
and messaging.
Through this symbiotic partnership, generations of ill-informed or
uninformed followers have been taught via government-controlled education and
biased media to shun information that offends their progressive sensitivities.
Worse, they are trained to react in a Pavlovian manner to stimuli
directed solely to their overdeveloped emotions, such that all change is now
sought to be effected through an endless series of increasingly ludicrous
hoaxes they are too stupid and ignorant to detect and thus reject.
Perhaps the most recent such hoax, which is being carried out
seemingly with the utmost sincerity and seriousness, pertains to John Brennan's
security clearance, transformed by manipulators into a constitutional crisis,
though it has nothing at all do to with the Constitution. No matter
how carefully one reads the Bill of Rights, the words "security
clearance" do not appear. John Brennan's freedoms remain intact,
and he can continue to violate every oath he ever took as he works to
destabilize the country from within. In fact, the only rational way
that revoking his security clearance could be considered an infringement of his
right to express himself is if he used that right to disclose classified
information obtained via his clearance. The revocation of a
clearance merely deprives him of certain information, just as the media he
works for do every hour of every day to their viewers, without Mr. Brennan's objection.
Those on the left, both political and cultural, are exploiting
this giant puff of hot air to enrage their already overwrought lemmings,
reinforcing for them the overarching lie that Trump is a tyrant, the most
absurd yet believed hoax of them all. For this to work, the zealots
must reject a daily reality they can see for themselves and accept in its place
something that requires a near religious faith in what is obviously
false. Perhaps nothing speaks to ignorance and stupidity more than
rejecting demonstrable reality, and doing so proudly.
As tyrants go, given historical examples of real tyrants, Trump is
the worst one ever. He has supposedly limited the rights of millions
who still retain every single right they had before he became president. For
instance, in shining a light on the media for their malice, he has been accused
of infringing on their First Amendment rights. Yet somehow these
media people are exercising those very rights to criticize the president without
the slightest fear of actual jeopardy. Under this tyrant, it is
instantly clear to every sentient person that nobody suffers actual
consequences for the exercise of his right to say false
things. There are no crackdowns, no mass arrests, no opponents hustled
into vans by dark-clad men, no political prisoners, and no
gulags. People drive cars with "Resist" stickers on them
without concern. This is apparent to every outraged progressive, yet
progressives lack the mental capacity to reject a lie and process the truth
that a tyrant would never permit these forms of opposition and that they remain
free.
Unfortunately, while ignorance and stupidity are useful as tools
to create fear and hatred to promote political overthrow, they are dangerous as
guiding principles by which to encourage people to live in a
country. This, too, is being revealed to us on a grand
scale. On the basis of lies and frauds aimed directly at
progressives conditioned to believe them, conservatives are being subjected to
public attacks and injustices that bespeak the bigotry and prejudice of which
ignorant and stupid people are proud. Conservatives are being
silenced, marginalized, harangued, threatened, and physically assaulted, all
for wishing not to become collectivist slaves. Racism against whites
is now chic and popular, and white genocide is a subject of humor, a further
sign of the comfort of the left with the idea of political mass
murder. Anti-Semitism on the left, a sign of pure ignorance and
stupidity, is on the rise. And yes, there is the actual violence
done by the ignorant and stupid when they realize that they will not win any
other way. Whether by Antifa or against congressional Republicans
playing baseball or against their own neighbors in the streets of every
Democrat-controlled city, the acquiescence by the elite in the use of violence
for power is a compelling sign of the deep ignorance, stupidity, and malice
that a progressive society will manifest if given the chance to politically
subjugate us.
These acts are being encouraged and carried out by the political,
media, and cultural elite on the left, who privately know that a complete purge
of the remnants of the old United States will require actual violence, just as
every other Marxist revolution before it has. Our Constitution was
crafted to prevent precisely this result, which is why the left loathes and rejects
it. They are fine with violence, since they know what must happen
but say nothing to quell their increasingly deranged adherents. They
have chosen slavery to the state, and they insist you surrender to them.
Prepare yourselves. The ignorant and stupid, and those
who control them, are telling us they are coming, what they think of us, and
what they hope to do to us.
