It is no fantasy on thier part, it is deep down what they want to do, the kind of individuals they are, and consequently why they adhere to the ideology of evil (leftist statism). This individual finally openly said what they want to do, and the historical record of this ideology bears that out. Normally they hide these desires on thier part from public demonstration and generally accuse us on this side of the political fence of having the same tendencies they genuinely do have.MechAg94 wrote:I think that may the reason a lot of liberals don't like guns. They can't trust themselves with guns and have these murder fantasies so they assume everyone has the same fantasies. They just don't realize they are the only ones who are psycho.
In accusing those of us on this side of the political fence of being or having violent tendencies & so forth, there is a definitive term for it. The clinical term is called 'projection' It is no more than assigning the same tendencies to us that they possess within themselves. It is behavior part & parcel to the average sociopath and they do it in order to maintain the lie of thier own self-image and what they believe & adhere to.(1)
That's my own personal thought of why we on this side of the political fence struggle so hard in what should rightfully be called a culture war. Too many people on our side of the political fence don't understand what we are genuinely dealing with in terms of the ideology of the left and it's adherents. Consequently our side of the fence keeps trying to deal in rational thought with something that is inherently irrational. It is the behavior of the sociopath who projects onto others thier own defects for the previous reason as well as to confuse those around them. (2)
Consequently those who are dealing with a sociopath and face the projected accusations fall into the trap of human nature, the desire to defend themselves against the accusation. Racism accusations are another perfect example, as are the usual accusations made against civil rights proponents of the 2nd amendment. The average individual doesn't understand what is being done and why, consequently they think the proper answer is to defend themselves and/or what they believe against the accusation. In doing so they inadvertantly give it the appearance of legitimacy or raise the question of it being so. This behavior or tactic is openly stated in thier manifesto of political tactics
Rules for Radicals: "always go outside the experience of your opposition" That is one of the rules listed & I don't see any reason why this is not what it genuinely means given the observable behavior of leftists.
Why does the left do this? For the reason I stated, to maintain the lie of their own self-image as well as to sell the lie of thier ideology to the public. That being the culture war of the traditional american culture based on the truths the founders identified as to law, and the prevailing cultural norms in terms of morality and common-sense which prevailed and/or existed in our society.
This culture is at war with the inherent evil of leftist statism, or more correctly the ideology of secular humanism, with the flaws of of basic human character present in that and it's inherent appeal to those flaws.
It is why I constantly hear "we are always playing defense, we never go on offense" It is true yet no one ever stops to think about why that is. It is because too many folks don't fully understand what we are dealing with and approach it from the wrong standpoint.
