Comment for liberals of RawStory.com

-------------------

It was Bill Clinton's 'triangulation' that moved the #democratic party towards the economic center-right.

I watched in slow motion. Moving the democratic party to the right forced the #republican party to the far-right.

This is all about #class #warfare, but credulous #liberals still think it's about value-systems. Nobody reads economic stats so they miss the absolute root of all our problems.

Both parties work happily together to prevent the ascendance of any other party, in particular a real economically left-wing party, hence we have no real democracy.

Also watched liberal media make #Trump a household word beginning in the 70's. Trump is a symptom of the corruption in the total system, not just the right.

For the #republican party to go full fascist, it needed the democratic party to move right economically. Cause and bloody effect.

Our political system is a ruling-class oligarchy. Rich liberals need rich conservatives like flowers need the rain, to survive. They work happily together.... la la la... to maintain severe wealth-inequality.

The hyperreal narrative that keeps two ruling-class parties in place is invisible to adherents of both ideologies.

This is a perfect scam. Because #conservatives are now outright domestic #terrorists, sane people are forced to vote for the center-right-wing party. Both parties work so the top economic 10% continuously holds about 70% of total wealth, while the bottom 50% (working-people) hold only 2% of total wealth. Severe #wealth-#inequality is the absolute root of all societal problems, but all that crucial truth is carefully omitted from #mainstream ideologies and #corporate #media narratives.

We can't actually work towards democracy in this system. This corrupt binary system will go on for another hundred years because ideologies are learned during adolescence. 70% of the population will always follow the ideologies to which they were imprinted, roughly in the manner of lemmings. (See #Kohlberg, #childdevelopment)

The leading cause of death for US children is now gun violence. I'm so glad I didn't bring children in this wacky society. New generations suffer the worst consequences of all the calamity caused by previous generations.

Ideologies are for adolescents, whereas ethically mature adults are strong independent-thinkers. Dear generation Alpha, please notice our society is in turmoil, and that means you can't trust the logic of at least the last few generations. Culture is not your friend. Our present cultures ideologies have failed, and there's no way people indoctrinated into those ideologies can possibly understand that.

Only expect 10% of the population to be ethically mature critical-thinkers. That's not enough to get anywhere near democracy for the next hundred years, so please set your expectations appropriately. (Please read Kohlberg, child-development)

In this mess, the more any ideology claims authority, the more full of poop they are.

It did take liberalism and conservativism working together to put us through the Trump years which aren't over, and they will happily work together to make more like him forever.

Is this a story of a devious #killer, or a failure of the #experts teaching in this field to be able to recognize a #monster in their midst?

Why are leftists not concerned with the social science of moral development?

There's a wealth of insight that relates to society and politics in that research.

Lawrence #Kohlberg is to moral development what #Marx is to #socialism, but leftists never heard him .... or the concepts of moral development and natural law.

Morality is not hard when you realize it's based on the instincts of the body. Every generation must learn how to manage their needs and instincts from the previous generations. The gist of #naturalLaw is that the instinct for compassion is meant to be at the root of legal systems.

Marxists of this age ignore legitimate social science. If it's not science, it's fiction.

I'm sure you'd find some insight looking into the concept of moral development stages.

Hip Hop Nazi

I just wanted to see what those words look like strung together

Hip Hop brought civil-rights activism back 40 years. oops.

Seventy percent of adults in 'conventional society' never develop past the adolescent stage of moral development. Why things don't seem to change. Modern culture is run by adolescents.
