"Eliteist" "Scum" "Evil". These are buzz words that keep bubbling up to the surface of the argument against political Progressivism. Why are these hot button terms used? Why is there an underlying hatred for Progressive politics? Why would someone see the results of Progressive policies with such vitriol? Once the results are examined honestly, would anyone call for the elimination of those policies and call it fair, beneficial and liberating?
Yeah, or maybe there's no deep, hidden psychological meaning and people just think you're an evil, elitist scumbag (who can't spell, apparently). Never overlook the simple explanation that people just don't like you.
Would someone say that there should be American citizens seen as second class Americans? Would anyone want to see explicit discrimination, repression and exploitation of our fellow citizens?
Is there a reason for such animus? Such is the position of those who have enjoyed an advantage through repression. Have you ever noticed that whenever a repressed group, Women, minorities, homosexuals, finally speak up and demand the equality they deserve, those enjoying the advantage borne by repression always say "They want 'special' rights!".
Special rights? Hardly. They want the same rights as any other American. Asking for them is seen as rabble rousing and an uppity attitude. Repression results in demands for egalitarianism, something the repressing class sees as a vice rather than a virtue.
Perhaps the repressive class has painted themselves into an awkward corner. Perhaps the idea of equality is something they fear. Perhaps it's real competition for egalitarianism the repressive classes fear most. Ironic because the bedrock of their beliefs lays in the notion of healthy competition will provide the greatest good for the individual. They understand this from exploiting individuals and reaping the rewards they deny.
Speaking of buzzwords . . .
