Understanding Liberalism: The Greatest Con in the History of Mankind

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Mark Steyn -- all renowned conservative commentators. Viewed by many as the pinnacle of conservative enlightenment; a select group who understand liberalism better than anyone. What if I told you that you too could understand liberalism as well as these men? You too can fight liberalism as well as the greats. It really is quite simple. To understand liberalism is to understand the common thief, and once you see liberalism for what it is at its core, you too will see liberalism is the greatest con in the history of the United States of America. Heck, liberalism is the greatest con perpetuated in the history of mankind.

To begin understanding liberalism, particularly American liberalism, one must first understand the values upon with the the liberal party, the Democratic Party is founded:

”There are several core beliefs that tie our party together: Democrats believe that we're greater together than we are on our own—that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules.” -Democrat National Committee (https://www.democrats.org/about/our-party)

Democrats, liberals, stand for you. They stand for your fairness to ensure you are treated equally. These platitudes, while appealing to all, are fraught with error. The world is not a fair place and no person is guaranteed anything except for their natural born freedom and liberty. That is simply a fact of life. All men and women are born into a world with nothing. Most eventually inherit wealth from others, but we are all born the same -- naked and penniless. Only you can obtain the wealth you want in the world either through self sacrifice or by stealing what others have sacrificed for themselves. So why then do the Democrats found themselves on these false platitudes? Why do they preach equality for all when our only equality ends after birth? Because these platitudes compose the core of liberalism itself -- the illusion that there are enemies in the world targeting you, the victim.

Many understand the victimhood mentality of the left. Everyone is a victim and there is a boogeyman around every corner waiting to steal from you, to make the world less fair. This illusion is necessary for liberalism to survive and thrive. Once one understands there are no enemies or victims, only individuals not creating value for themselves in life, one understands the fallacy of liberal arguments and sees the true intent behind a liberal’s actions. Liberalism stands in direct opposition of the values it seeks to protect. Liberalism serves the selfish actions of a few at the cost of many. In the name of equality, liberalism thrives on inequality. Liberalism, at its core, is theft. Theft of one’s wealth, one’s dignity, one’s freedom, one’s liberty. To understand liberalism is to understand a common thief.

Liberalism is a crazed man in a room with a gun. The man walks into the room and picks their target. This is where the con begins. Rather than point the gun at their victim, the man points the gun at anyone else, and if no one else is in the room, they create a straw man to point the gun at. “Look, that person wants to harm you! But I have a gun and I can protect you, at a cost that is,” the crazed man says to his victim. “Give me your money. Give me your freedom. Surrender your liberty such that I can protect you from this evil man. He’s trying to kill you, after all.” The victim has been conned by the thief and unfortunately does not realize that enemy was never an enemy to begin with. After all, who would point a gun at someone if it were not to protect themselves from a threat?

A criminal, a thief, points a gun at someone who is not a threat for the sole purpose of strong arming an individual into surrendering what is rightfully theirs. The crazed man, liberalism, succeeds. In desperation created by the unknown threat, the victim surrenders the value they have sacrificed for or the freedoms and liberty they were born with in the attempt to save what little remains of themselves, what little remains of their dignity. Through the illusion of an unknown enemy liberalism takes what is yours.

People do not like being threatened. People do not like it when others point guns at them. Occasionally the false enemy becomes real when they points a gun back. Rather than exchanging in a firefight -- a discussion of rational thoughts, ideas, and opinions -- the crazed man drops the gun and uses their victim as a shield. “Look! I told you they were a threat! He’s got the gun pointed right at you because you are <insert race, gender, religion, any label here>. Just like I said!” the crazed man says as he hides behind his victim. The victim of the liberal now sees the gun pointed at them, rather than at the crazed man who instigated the situation to begin with. One does not think rationally when they are immediately threatened. The crazed man has turned his victim into the “victim” of someone else, still hiding his true motives behind this con, this illusion. Liberalism succeeds because it projects its ill intentions upon others creating false enemies, and when under attack, projects the counter attack upon its own victim. It was never this alleged enemy who wanted to steal from the victim to begin with. It was the crazed man with the gun. It was liberalism that was the first real threat.

You may be thinking, but I already knew liberals projected; that liberals project their ill intentions and misdeeds onto others. This is true, but it is more common than you think. Liberalism *always* requires the thief to project their misdeeds unto others to create the illusion of the false enemy. Liberalism requires their victim to believe they will be or are the victim of another so they do not see they are being robbed by liberalism itself. Once you understand this, that liberalism works as the common thief accusing others of which they are guilty themselves, you understand liberals and the Democratic Party just as well as the likes of Limbaugh and Levin.

Liberalism, at its core, is solely dependent on false enemies and misrepresented victims to prevent focus from being shifted to the instigator itself; preventing the focus being shifted to the original selfish self-interests of a few. Liberalism is projected onto straw men the liberal can easily tear down in your defense and quickly build into a new enemy. There are no friendships or alliances that exist for the purpose of creating good in liberalism, only for the purpose of continuing the perception of persecution. Liberalism survives solely on negativity projected at the masses to shield the masses from the interests of a select few selfish individuals. This is why it is essential for liberalism to control the media and the schools to succeed. Liberalism must control what you see and what you learn for you to believe these straw men are actually enemies. The illusion of victims and enemies must be maintained at all cost. In liberalism, the ends always justify the means, because the very existence of liberalism is reliant on each and every end. The end is liberalism stealing from their victim without the victim ever noticing. If a liberal does not reach their end, you see the false enemy for the threat they never were and liberalism is exposed for the con that it is. The very core of liberalism relies solely on the denial of freedom and liberty which stand in direct opposition to the facade of a persecuted realty. If one is free to think and see for themselves then enemies and victims do not exist. The victim sees the crazed man, their leader, is the one pointing the gun at everyone, literally robbing them blind. Liberalism and its offshoots (Communism, Socialism, Marxism, Fascism, et al.) are the only political doctrines that capitalize on evils in the world, capitalizing on the theft from others to prevent the theft by others.

Understanding liberalism is only the first step in defeating the evils liberalism. Why defeat liberalism liberalism though? Is not a counter to your conservative values a healthy check in the political process. I ask of you, if liberalism cannot survive without an economy of evil, is it truly good for the people? If liberalism cannot survive without an economy of evil, is there any good in liberalism? If there is no good in liberalism, is liberalism itself evil? If evil exists in the world, should we not attempt to drive it out of the darkness and crush it in the light? The truth remains that because liberalism survives solely on the theft of wealth, dignity, freedom and liberty of the masses; that liberalism itself is evil. It is wrong to take what is not deservedly yours. It is wrong to steal. This is a basic understanding all humans hold. These values we all understand regardless of upbringing because they are a basic covenant upon which our civilized society is founded.

To defeat liberalism is as simple as understanding liberalism, understanding liberals for the common thieves they are. Simple, however, does not mean easy. Defeating liberalism requires an individual to shatter the illusion created to allow the true victim of liberalism to see the true thief as they enemy they are. This is achieved not by accusing the liberal of trying to steal. The liberal, after all, created the illusion on false accusations. Continuing that argument is arguing against something which does not exist. Rather, the way to defeat liberalism is by showing the victim that you were never the enemy to begin with. You only responded to the threat directly posed to you, which is actually directly attacking them.

A lie, fallacy, an illusion is always shattered by the truth. Remember, it was not the plight of the East Germans that toppled the Berlin Wall and defeated Communism. Rather, it was the success of freedom and liberty modeled in the West that exposed and crushed the crumbling liberal facade that plagued the East. While your fellow countrymen may currently be trapped in this liberal dystopia, steadfast vigilance in the continued pursuit of success shall eventually pierce through the veil of ignorance and shed light upon the darkness. Eventually through your success you will show that it was your own hard work that created what is yours. Your sacrifice, enabled by your freedom and liberty, allowed you to obtain value. You did not take it from others nor did you wish to. You earned it. You were never an enemy. You only pointed a gun at the crazed man because they pointed one at you. Ultimately, when the victim no longer sees the false enemy created by the crazed man, the victim sees who the true enemy and thief was. The war against liberalism is won with information crushing illusion.

This task may appear daunting at first. You may feel as a sole individual fighting against a machine of evil. You now see the evils of liberalism everywhere as the the unified Democratic Party marches lockstep over your fellow countrymen. Where is your support? Why is your Grand Ole Party not fighting with you? All is not as hopeless as it appears. Government and political parties are nothing more than men like you and me. The Democratic Party is no more than a gang of thieves and thugs put into power by those caught in their con willing to sacrifice their very livelihood for the thin veil of security from the false enemies presented to them. The Republican party too is nothing more than men who elected to fight this battle. Support your soldiers. Contact your representatives and reaffirm them that you are fighting with them. You will support their actions through your success to strengthen their arguments and support. No one is alone in this fight. Our combined success is necessary to overcoming these evils in the world. Former President Ronald Reagan expressed this best in this famous speech:

“Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?” - President Ronald Reagan

Your party is composed of patriots fighting to defend the freedoms the founding fathers risked their lives to reclaim for all. Your representatives are just like you. They experience the same sense of hopelessness in the face of this great opposition. They experience the same pride in their accomplishments. A man founded in true conservative principles knows the freedom and liberty which they seek to protect are the only path to success in the world. Support your representatives by praising them when they fight to protect these values and correcting them when the falter. Should they fail to stand by true conservative principles, replace them with someone who will. Someone who exemplifies the success of conservatism, the success of American principles.
