Here’s how it works today:
“I have unlimited rights, and no responsibilities. You have unlimited responsibilities, and no rights. My feelings are king. If I feel uncomfortable in any way, it’s all your fault.”
It’s the premise of the Democratic Party, who still controls our not yet dismantled Deep State and virtually everything in our culture that people pay more attention to than the government — entertainment, sports, the corporate world, government-run schools/universities, medicine and the so-called mental health industry.
No relationship (personal or sociopolitical) can survive five minutes on this premise.
No civilization can survive on this premise, either.
For a time, the relationship (or the civilization) will go on, but only so long as the people being sacrificed — the ones with unlimited responsibilities and no rights, the ones who must tend to the whims and feelings of the worthless, whiny people imposing on them — are willing to put up with it all.
Sooner or later, the people putting up with it all will get angry. They’ll assert themselves, push back or even in some sense go on strike.
If the pushing back isn’t explicit, it will be indirect and passive. The good, the productive, the honest people will simply get worn down.
We’re in that stage of civilization right now. The collapse is gradual, but if the collapse ever becomes complete, it will seem abrupt, sudden and shocking. It won’t be pretty. The whiny victims who call themselves progressive will scream the loudest of all.
We can’t go on like this. But only the good guys — the ones who AREN’T looney, purple-haired, bitter, petulant little socialists — can change it all: by refusing to keep enabling the insanity.
The good guys, at some point, have to push back.
