Mediocrity, Consensus and Ignorance

Mediocrity, Consensus and Ignorance: By Rich Kozlovich

That is the driving force of leftist thought…..mediocrity and consensus and ignorance.  Dennis Prager talked about this idea of French children having no homework via government edict on his show yesterday and asked (and I am paraphrasing) what is the real purpose behind this?  What is the thing that all leftists desire about all else?   Equality!  Not an equal opportunity to try….but equal outcomes.  Since in some homes parents will put time into helping their children with their homework and others don’t or can’t, some kids will excel over others.  And of course every leftist will cry; “that isn’t fair!”  So what is the solution according to the left?  Impose mediocrity!   As for fair; so who wrote the book of fair?  No one!  But if it existed, who would decide what went in that book; Hollende, the socialist President of France and his mob?  There is another component to all of this not mentioned.  Ignorance!  As long as humanity can be kept ignorant they are far more compliant and gullible.   

How do idiots who promote this come into power?  When I look at the world I see imbeciles in charge everywhere!  How did this happen?  Looking back at post WWI Europe we can see how this happens.  WWI was devastating to Europe.  Economically as well as socially! Nothing was ever the same again and the people of France, England and most of Europe would do anything to avoid another war.  Everywhere except Germany.  Why?

 The economy after the war had a boom and then bust period.  The U.S. was going through the Great Depression. The Versailles Treaty was so punitive that it made economic recovery in Germany extremely hard, and when you consider that the world was facing hard economic times it became harder.  There was another thing that happened between the signing of the armistice and the Treaty of Versailles.  Germany remained blockaded by the allies for that 18 month period.  Thousands starved to death as a result.  I know the arguments about how they deserved it since they started the war and as a result millions died.  But right, wrong or indifferent, this was an underlying emotion among the Germans that the rest of Europe didn’t have.  They were being unjustly deprived !  Fertile emotional ground to plant irrational views through demagoguery! It was the economy that brought so many incredibly evil people to power.  They wanted their "fair share".

James Carville’s line during Clinton’s run for the Presidency was; “It’s The Economy Stupid!”  That is the whole story in four words.  The left cannot exist unless it can scare everyone.  The left can’t move everyone unless they get them to believe they have been cheated and deprived by the wealthy and powerful, creating a movement of class warfare.  The left can’t get control unless they promise utopia; especially an unearned utopia.  A utopia others must pay for because it is “your right”!   The left can’t do any of this as long as some can excel, which requires imposed mediocrity.  The left can’t do any of this unless there is consensus that everyone should be exactly the same.  The left can’t do any of this unless people are ignorant.

Over the decades there are two things that should have been noticed.  The left is unrelenting in promoting, and imposing their views on the world.  The right is content to let people live their lives as they see fit as long as they leave others alone. 

The left has a vision.  It is a vision that says that if they are in charge they can deliver utopia via central planning.  The fact that everywhere in the world where their concepts held sway they delivered dystopia is ignored.  Yet they keep making the same accusations, claims and demands as they have always done. 

The left dominates the education systems.  They have dumbed down humanity, as a result ignorance has made it easier to get a consensus that the wealthy are unworthy and need to pay “their fair share” of their wealth via taxation.  In spite of the fact that this doesn’t work to make the rest better off, since it destroys nations.  How do they get away with this?  Ignorance, consensus and mediocrity!

The right has no vision at all.  They feel that people should live their lives as they see fit and there is no need to promote that which should be obvious.  Work hard, live right and reap the rewards. That is their disadvantage. 

The right merely wants the universities to equip students with the tools necessary for success.  The left desires to equip students with a philosophy that says the right is evil, capitalism is evil, white people are all racists, and modern society is destroying the world, and they all owe someone something for their actions, and will tolerate no dissention among educators.   Ergo, the left leaves them demanding utopia and punishment for all these supposed wrong doers.   All promoted by the axis of evil; leftists (progressives, liberals and socialists, etc.), the media and academia.   And they get the pubic to fund it all. 
And that is how imbeciles come to power; no homework!
