The Horrors of What Might Happen
Did you ever notice that the Leftist Industrial Complex exhibits zero concern for actual problems occuring in the present. Crime, homelessness, uncontrolled migration, threats from foreign totalitarian regimes, political corruption, economic turmoil, etc.
With the same passion they exhibit for avoiding the real problems facing citizens, they show unwavering concern for the hypothetical, concocted, and bogus threats they claim are facing us. Censor information because your mind might be poisoned by “dangerous” alternative viewpoints. Indoctrinate children to confront an imaginary “white supremacy” pandemic. Unleash the medical profession on young children because, suddenly, there’s an awareness that people are being born into the “wrong” bodies. Reduce your standard of living because human progress may alter the natural processes that have affected climate throughout the Earth’s history. Eat bugs, because our lives are “unsustainable.” The polar ice caps will melt, the sea level will rise, billions will starve. A thousand-and-one variations on the Apocolypse will occur at some I’ll-defined future time (or “in ten years”), if we don’t quickly reduce our freedoms, reduce our standard of living, and learn to obey intellectual, corporate, and political elites that somehow know what’s best for our future, when they’ve been consistently wrong in the past.
Free society, stabilized by a consistent rule of law and openness to diverse viewpoints creates prosperity and the social backdrop for pursuing happiness. Conjured doom consistently crushes prosperity, freedom, and human advancement.
Wise leadership addresses the real problems occurring now, not the fantasies of elitists with axes to grind on the backs of those who merely wish to be left alone.
