"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities." – Voltaire
If there's one thing Antifa, BLM and endless brainwashed liberals want – and want NOW – it's socialism. Everyone will be happier in a socialist society! Yay!
To dismantle that troublesome capitalism (darn that prosperity) and bring in their socialist utopia, progressives have launched an aggressive policy of destruction – looting, rioting, arson, intimidation, mayhem and anarchy – and then scream at people how much better this is than peace, success and abundance.
But as the general anarchy continues, people are looking at these representatives of the socialist dream and thinking, "Is this what we really want?"
Because, you see, socialists aren't happy. They can never be happy.
So what exactly do all of these people have in common? They are all unhappy. Deeply and personally unhappy, tormented at the most basic level. This is the coalition of the miserable.
"It's hard to know precisely what went wrong for these people," continues Carlson. "Some of them are mad at their fathers; for others, life didn't turn out in the way they'd hoped. Dashed dreams, the usual story. It can make people bitter. Many others are simply victims of their own affluence. Being rich for too long tends to destroy people from within, particularly when they didn't earn it. They become guilty and restless and insecure. Whatever the cause, you could not pick a more maladjusted group than the speakers at the DNC this week. You wouldn't want these people babysitting your kids."
Heaven forbid everyone should just get along. Where's the benefit to that? Instead, these protesters are nursing fantasy grievances and pretending to be victims as they topple cities and pit people against each other. Whee, what fun!
But are they happy? Of course not. Hence the Voltaire quote above: "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities." Antifa and BLM are pretending to believe absurdities; therefore they are committing atrocities.
Part of the problem is these agitators are children in adult bodies, a dangerous combination. To function as a rational adult, these children must grow up. In this short video, Dr. Stephen Marmer, psychiatrist, UCLA School of Medicine, offers five characteristics of maturity. "If you work to possess them all, you will have a happier, deeper and more productive life," he says. These five characteristics are:
1. Taking control. You can overcome the things over which you had no control (where/when you were born, who your parents were, etc.) and chart your own course. Refusing to act, waiting to be rescued and seeing yourself as a victim is a sure sign of immaturity.
2. Taking responsibility. You're responsible for what you do. If you make a mistake, acknowledge it. Don't alibi, and don't blame others.
3. Containing emotions. Maturity can be measured by how much anxiety you can tolerate without acting out inappropriately against yourself or others. Mature people express their emotions in the right place, in the right time and in the right way.
4. Having perspective. Maturity comes from putting disappointment into perspective (that big pimple or your boyfriend's rejection is not the End! Of! The! World!). Disappointments happen all the time. A mature person learns from them, and gets stronger each time he recovers. This can best be summed up in the advice given to King Solomon: This too shall pass.
5. Being able to discern the reasons for someone's words, actions or beliefs, even if you don't share them yourself.
How many socialists, Antifa and BLM activists possess even one of these qualities? Meanwhile they loot and burn businesses built by hardworking people – many of them minorities – while claiming to fight for them. It's lunacy.
