Regression: The Cult of Progressive Ideology
Progressivists like Ashley Moody (conservative republican) and Kirsten Gillibrand (liberal democrat) — and almost every other public leader today — are destroying our nation and fueling a genocide of pain and addiction sufferers.
The problem with collectivism is authoritative overreach — an attempt to achieve equality of outcome by averaging individuals. Government should never decide what people deserve to access in detail (medicine, technology, e.g.). It should only make rules about rulemaking to maximize the beneficial choices available to individual people. Government should never be able to preemptively eliminate detrimental choices for some and not others (i.e. precrime laws outlawing and demonizing objects like approved drugs, or guns) — not even if a single other person exists who benefits from the same choice. Passing a law to further limit access to a supply of legal medicine, when a control measure like prescribing has already been in place for generations, destroys the institution of prescribing. We’re doing that now, and healthcare will follow if we don’t error correct.
This system of government doesn’t preclude forcibly taking tax dollars from people who earned them and handing it to others if you think that’s fair— so it’s NOT a “libertarian” position (go back and read the word “approved” in bold). It’s a position about governing that’s far better than the out-of-control bureaucracy we have metastasizing in both state and federal government. This is a position exposing how the use of collective bigotry harms people and funds fake research passed off as science. Suing the makers of “too much” approved medicine because of unethical marketing is a despicable tactic, since government already (excessively) controls the production and supply of opioid medication. This is a big show produced by immoral people. They’re immoral because they refuse to respond to criticism. They perpetuate prejudicial memes and “fight” against precrime. Law enforcement often presumes everyone has been driving drunk, deploying checkpoints rather than waiting until someone actually begins driving erratically. After the efforts of the nonprofit MADD, who in their right mind would argue in favor of making someone either support Prohibition or stop attempting to police possible future crime?
I will, because we know public leaders never stop the move toward greater authority. They never stop at education about dangers. If we haven’t learned this, we’ve learned nothing in about half a century. That’s sad. Star Trek writers did a great job fighting against bigotry starting in the 1960’s. However, they got some important ideas very wrong. Like the line “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” This abhorrent idea has been used to legitimize the deaths of an untold number of people where equality of outcome has been attempted. Both party’s leaders still use this idea related to the “opioid epidemic” to justify supply-side restrictions of choice, just as democratic leaders use it on many issues.
We’re currently witnessing and ignoring a genocide of chronic pain patients and heroin users, driven in many cases to the dangerous black market. Similarly, parents in high-crime neighborhoods often can’t access even a good rifle to protect their children from home invasions. The excuses people like A.G. Ashley Moody or Senator Kirsten Gillibrand provide are based on authority and hysteria, not explanation. “‘We’ (demigods) must do something beyond approving medicine to correct the mistakes of medical doctors!” or “People will only shoot themselves too often, because they’re too stupid, not like us demigods. ‘Assault’ rifles should only be used by my security guard. Let the People have tasers.” [I could list these errors all night, and into next week.]
Our leaders are brainwashed by bad ideology pervasive throughout both parties, like progressive bone cancer, so electing new leaders doesn’t work. They benefit from gaining power and graft in some cases because this terrible meme is believed by most Americans, passed down as a meme through generations in a poorly understood pattern. People say we shouldn’t discuss party politics, because “we’re all in this together.” They will read this explanation detailing why they’re completely wrong, then immediately repeat the same false meme, like a cultist. The only other alternative requires being a conspiracy theorist and thinking they’re all corrupt. I don’t care which one is closer to reality anymore.
We’re each individually unique. We had a system of government in place recognizing this idea. Creative thought is an individual phenomenon, even if we need to work together to produce great technological (or other types of) achievements. [That’s the perspiration phase, not the creative phase.] We’re not members of a collective mind, thank God. Our system is broken, which prevents creative thought by eliminating better individual choices. It also prevents working together to accomplish building great things. We can’t build new things without new knowledge. The irony seems to be common to a lot of words besides “progressive” (i.e. “diversity” or “multicultural”). Progressivism in this sense is a roadblock to progress. If you don’t understand, please go back to the first paragraph and start reading again.
