The Big Bang Theory of Civilization
Democrats are trying to square the circle of letting the professionals do things and hating those very professionals for the things they do.
The Democrats - actually the entirety of the America left - is making an interesting attempt a rationalization about how contemporary society currently enjoys availing themselves of the liberty, security and social advances Western Civilization created - while simultaneously loathing and rejecting the beliefs, mores and religions that created Western Civilization in the first place.
Why, it is as if none of this is connected - a “Big Bang” creation of our world is the order of the day. Random, chaotic forces came together to create something and nobody had anything whatsoever to do with it.
Yes, that thought process, if you can call it that, is irrational and borderline insane - but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t sell within the Democrat Party these days.
I’ve watched with interest how the Congressional Democrats have tried to spin the idea that it is the GOP who is the real “defunders” - but the "Defund the Police" idea which, try as hard as they can to spin it, is a Democrat idea and has grown to become a Democrat constituency. It is also on a head on collision course with another Democrat belief and constituency, that being the technocracy.
The narrative that law enforcement is irredeemably racist because they arrest more racial minorities (as a percentage, not as a total) as compared to the overall population is shaky at best, largely based on the actions of a very small percentage of law enforcement who happen to be of all skin colors.
Dismissed out of hand, of course, is the statistical fact that these minorities disproportionately commit more crime, and that law enforcement has to go where the crime is because that is the job we have tasked them to do.
Technocrats believe not only in the rule by experts, but societal engineering and control should also be conducted by experts. That's why they want to disarm every single person in America because that way, public protection can be handled by professionals, whether they be the mental health "professionals' envisioned by the Defunders or the streetwise cop carrying a gun while walking the beat.
But what is a good lefty Democrat to do with this contradiction? How can the technocrats technocrat if the professionals can't function under their own social justice rules?
The short answer is that they can't but are giving it the old Ivy League try.
While we are seeing some city officials wither under the strain of rising crime rates and begin “re-funding” movements to get police back on the streets, there are those who haven’t gotten the message yet. There are still administrations in some of the hard left major metropolitan areas that are cutting out cash bail, eliminating enforcement of petty crimes and generally giving entry level training and opportunities to the freshman class of criminals.
Give the cavalier attitude with which they approach the subject, I honestly think some of them see it as a jobs program. I guess it is Big Bang Theory of Crime - it just happens, there is no causal link to anything.
This is just another of the thousands of contradictions rife in the Democrat Party, a party that professes to believe in an institution their actions prove they have abandoned – democracy – and as sure as an eye twitch in a poker player is a tell, the lack of desire to resolve this contradiction is also screaming to be noticed.
If your objective is power, contradictions are not important, they are merely means to an end. It doesn’t really matter if actions are contradictory or complementary as long as they advance the cause toward the final goal of having every aspect of economic, public and private life controlled by thousands of little Anthony Faucis perched at the top of every institution in America.
A couple of years ago I pointed out that we now live in an age of malignant technocracy where the technocrats are wrong about just everything but are protected by a government Leviathan that has the power to silence, punish and destroy those who disagree. Their power is so overwhelming that they can turn a lie into the truth and the truth into a lie, success into failure and failure into success.
Every day that passes proves my intuition true.
"A couple of years ago I pointed out that we now live in an age of malignant technocracy where the technocrats are wrong about just everything but are protected by a government Leviathan that has the power to silence, punish and destroy those who disagree." - This is especially true of Biden - wrong about everything but empowered by those around him and the media to perpetrate his malevolence upon us all.
We know the end game is the ultimate ruling by these Technocrat Elites. They want to hold all the land, business, money and power and then we must bow down to the ultimate Zod.
I'm too old to change my ways, and I bow only to God, not Zod. I will not genuflect to any man, but I can take a stand against tyranny as my many forefathers have done.
My 2 cents.
