I think it's because your own particular reality is what you think about, mostly.<br /><br />If the system works for you, then why change it or allow it to be changed? If the system doesn’t work for you, then you want to change it. That’s supposed to be the beauty of the system. If the system is broken, then most people want to fix it so they can get back to their own personal business, whatever that may be. If the system is not broken, or is as good as it gets, then it probably won’t be getting changed.<br /><br />Theoretically that is. But did the Founders ever consider that regular citizens could be so easily influenced by well-crafty agiprop from media, corporate or religious sources? Did the Founders ever imagine that regular citizens could become so panicky-crazy because something’s wrong, but don’t have a clue about exactly what’s wrong?<br /><br />There’s a subsistence homesteader Youtube channel I used to enjoy, where the owner has now given up on all the do-it-yourself mirth to be ranting all about minorities taking over American cities. He blames the leftist public school system.<br /><br />There’s a progressive blog that blames Clinton-Obama elites for colluding with corporations to send all the good jobs overseas which would have otherwise kept the minorities busy.<br /><br />There are Christian blogs quoting Revelations. There authors of books about why nations fail, all saying very different things. And of course there are tons of people claiming every possible thing is responsible for what's going wrong.<br /><br />Regular citizens know something’s wrong, but aren't able to able to agree as to what it is or what the root causes are.

Others would rather complexify the simple. <br /><br />I think of that Planet Earth scene with the starving polar bear on the beach amongst hundreds of fat healthy walruses. Any few of the walruses, each twice the bears size, could overwhelm the bear which is trying to kill one of them. Instead, hundreds of walruses do their panicky bouncy-bounce towards the sea. I think the bear did eventually get gored by one of the walruses, but it was by mistake.<br /><br />I think the human race is a lot like that. We're mostly prey and a few predators. We’re too dumb too know how to enhance freedoms for the good, while limiting freedom for the bad. <br /> Every time the discussion gets hopelessly complexified. And then somebody needs to be blamed. I blame the media because the camera crew allowed that polar bear onto that beach.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-30888021585921450362020-07-16T14:12:09.128-07:002020-07-16T14:12:09.128-07:00As Chesterton said, "There is a thought that ...As Chesterton said, "There is a thought that stops thought.

They've been trying to abolish man at least since Locke -- but reliable Catholics I know (I'm not Catholic myself, so I have to take their word for it) take the problem back as far as William of Ockham. <br /><br />But it begins to form into more of a political problem than a philosophical one, doesn't it? The problem of allowing people who want to abolish man to make decisions on your behalf is a political and not a philosophical problem. Then of course, you'd need to find someone who doesn't want to abolish man... <br /><br />And as Lewis says, those who persecute us 'for our own good' do so with the acceptance of their own conscience.

At least since the 19th century people 'to the right' (if that has any meaning) of conservatives have noted their inability to conserve anything but the latest changes wrought by liberals. <br /><br />One would have to go back pretty far, it seems, to find the things worth conserving. I think when they asked Enoch Powell what English law he would consider in agreement with he had to go back to the Magna Charta, and 'only parts of it.' <br /><br />To get a 'genuine' conservatism in the sense 'conserving what ought to be conserved' it behooves one to radically question everything to determine if it is really traditional, or just something that popped up a couple of years ago that people like and feel they can't live without. <br /><br />Obviously the first place to look is to find the root of this 'conservatism' which looks back only an arm's reach; but that has a more obvious source: most conservatives are former liberals and as such tend to look as far back as they themselves can, often based on how they were raised. <br /><br />People such as myself are sometimes called 'reactionaries' because we go beyond conservatism and seek to revert what many conservatives wish to conserve. A good example of this phenomenon is to look at the debate around abortion. Certainly conservatives wish to conserve the traditional approach to children, which in the West has been that infanticide is a crime. Yet, Roe v. Wade and the other decisions didn't come out of nowhere; a reactionary position would be to take it at least a step further and say, "not only should abortion go back to being a crime, but we should also eliminate no-fault divorce, which contributes strongly to transience of relationships and the standpoint from which abortion-on-demand (usually of the father) is not unreasonable. <br /><br />It may be then asked, but you want to go back that one step because it contributed to the next one, where does it stop?<br /><br />And I would say, yes -- ! Perhaps it *does* stop at the Magna Charta. I'd predict however that it stops much before you get there.

But there's always gonna be some yahoo trying to define it for their own selfish purposes.<br /><br />One can argue that conservatism is the most realistic of what has been born from progressivism.<br /><br />With the onslaught of population and technology, progressives experiment with all the new ideas on behalf of the tribe, the results from which conservative Iron Laws are eventually derived. Dedicated conservatives then preserve and defend those Iron Laws.<br /><br />But are we even living in such a world today?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
