Buying Your Soul

THE SELLING OF YOUR SOUL

This is the SOP of the left. In order to transform America it takes time. Decades maybe. No problem, ideology is a religion that has to be served in small doses to take hold. They capitalize on one tragedy or crises at a time. Moving slowly but surely in an effort to point out the wrongs of society. They themselves are never to blame.  Alas, it is always the fault of someone who they claim are taking advantage of others  While ignoring the fact that they themselves do what they accuse others of perpetrating. Wielding power over others in an effort to satisfy their own needs to propagate the idea of  benefiting the "greater good", which in most case harm many". Their purposes are never examined or studied. The unintended consequences that do harm when their ideas are initiated are never brought to light. The fact that they fail is not subject to condemnation. Only their intentions. By the intelligentsia that they themselves populate. Of course, always claiming that they do it out of pure altruism

The people that are influenced by these high minded ideals are usually the ones that are truly vulnerable. Who think they are victims of a society that does not care. More often than not they suffer from one of the sins inherent in man, envy.  The grass is always greener somewhere else and they grow to despise those who have more than they. They feel everyone should be equal or should have what the other enjoys. Yet a large part of them go out and play the lottery hoping to be one of those that they despise. Usually they are victims of their own devices. Because of another human failing called sloth.  One of the seven deadly sins,  As a result they  destroy what they can not have.  The Progressive left feeds into these feelings.  It is called class envy.  Then the door is open to the political opportunists.

You may be one who occupies a level of economic or fiscal stature that others would enjoy. Achieving the status by your own efforts. But something happens. Perhaps it is guilt?  Or, they are now fearful as the nobility of Rome was. Knowing that they must pass bread amongst the population and give them games in the coliseum. Of course allowing them only to sit in worst seats and separate from those who they think are their benefactors. The feelings of carrying a suit cases full of quilt  prevents a rational that is devoid of practical thinking. The feeling of fear demonstrates your weakness. Not ever a good emotion. As they both it chips away at your self worth.  Leading to disdain for yourself and others. Causing people to make errors in judgement and encouraging actions that have unintended consequences. That hurt those who actually pay for their version of social justice.  In many cases these are folks who are not effected by the change and demands that they put on others. They think it is good to raise taxes to help pay for the bread they want to distribute in their name. They can afford to erase their guilt. But erasing their guilt costs others plenty in money, and rights Americans are entitled to.

Then again perhaps they are buying power so that they can control events and protect what they have amassed. Knowing that it could be to dangerous themselves to allow anyone other than themselves to be in positions of power. So you have individuals who are people of wealth and power declaring that more taxes should be paid by the common man, Who already pay too much. In comparison to their own resources. Preventing "ordinary folks " to take their place among the, "elite".
