Fear is the socialist, communist, collectivist left’s greatest weapon<\/a><\/p>\n

Leftists love fear.<\/p>\n

In a choice between persuading by logic and pressuring by fear, leftists will go for fear every time. Why? It\u2019s the go-to motivator for the nonthinking crowd.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the means of moving mountains without having to do all that hard thinking stuff. Or more to point, it\u2019s the means of moving mountains without giving opportunity for the masses to do all that hard thinking stuff. Quick, do as you\u2019re told \u2014 no time to think!<\/p>\n

So it goes with the coronavirus, and how the Democrats in positions of power across the United States have managed to keep free citizens in shutdown mode \u2014 by catering to the nonthinking squawkers who are blown this way and that, all by fear.<\/p>\n

So it goes with social media, and how the petulant progressives and whiny snowflakes and secular socialists and all those of that lower-to-zero thinking class ilk have managed to censor conservative speech \u2014 by demanding the removal of all countering opinions that might put a dent in their delicate delusions and force a reevaluation that circles back to, once again, that hard thinking stuff.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about the fear.<\/p>\n

Generate enough fear and there\u2019s no end to what might be accomplished. Changed. Reformed.<\/p>\n

Destroyed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Leftists use fear to accomplish their political and cultural goals because they themselves are driven to act by fear. They know firsthand the power of fear. They fear countering viewpoints \u2014 so they move to shut down countering viewpoints. Want a face to go with that? An image to drive home the point? Jack Dorsey on Twitter suffices. Jack Dorsey on Twitter, and all those suffering tweeting trolls who spend far too much time looking for the next post to hate. To fear. To cry for censor.<\/p>\n

Fear makes them run, so they assume fear will make others similarly run.<\/p>\n

The whole coronavirus sage, as it continues to unfold, has been fueled by one fearful prediction after another \u2014 predictions which have then been cherry-picked by leftist politicians as the means of justifying selective shutdowns, selective closures, selective enforcement of unconstitutional executive orders.<\/p>\n

If Americans didn\u2019t fear, there would be no business closures, no school closures, no stay at home orders, right now, circa December 2020. The numbers don\u2019t justify the shutdowns; the science doesn\u2019t show the need for such responses. Those who say they do are being driven by fear, deceived by fear.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fear and fear alone that\u2019s keeping Americans in bondage.<\/p>\n

And we have an example of where it all leads: Just as conservatives are increasingly booted from Twitter, from Facebook, from YouTube, from social media, based on the angry fears of an ignorant left that can\u2019t tolerate dissenting opinion \u2014 so will go the state of America\u2019s economy, America\u2019s education system, America\u2019s free market and free society and freedoms for individuals in general.<\/p>\n

Take a page from rapidly rotting anti-free speech social media and see: leftists don\u2019t voluntarily let go of power. They only dig in deeper. They only grow bolder with each success. Even when outed as lunatic leftists on crazy censorship crusades, they don\u2019t repent. They don\u2019t cede control.<\/p>\n

Leftists in political leadership, both now and coming this January, aren\u2019t going to voluntarily let go of power, either. Not with a coronavirus still in town. Nope. They\u2019ll only dig in deeper. They\u2019ll only grow bolder.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll only continue to use fear to curtail individual freedom \u2014 specifically, conservative and free market principles \u2014 even more. Their end game, of course, is control. Total, top-down, totalitarian control. The worse slap in the face is they\u2019ll demand appreciation for taking away the burden of having to do all that hard thinking stuff to boot.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how socialism, communism, collectivism comes: a cringe of fear at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
