I was hoping to take a break from politics, and still do! I wanted to simply focus on prayer, on my hobbies, my work, and relaxing. Yet to my surprise the deranged hordes of savages that I call my fellow Californians seemed intent on ruining that; throwing a chimp out at Berkley--which I may or may not live fairly close to--and nearly killing people to express how upset they are at a gay jewish man who bought "le BBC" meme for his apparent homophobia, anti-semitism, and racism.

Well while Cenk Uygur is losing his minds trying to portray this as a conspiracy by 4channers--which is also likely his claim whenever someone brings up the Armenian Genocide to him--and CNN is busy trying to claim that Milo Yianoppolus was rallying White Supremacists on campus and that his event was merely "cancelled", I decided to meditate on these recent events, to read a variety of perspectives on them--along with perspectives on Trump's victory--and I've come to one rather amusing conclusion:

What we've seen is post-modernism devolve naturally towards Post-Democracy and Power-Politics, and The Left's language is to blame.

One of the more intriguing responses to Trump's rise, and eventual Triumph, was Slavoj Zizek. What I found most curious about him is that he desperately tried sandwiching any compliments of Trump--or anything that could be misconstrued as one--between statements such as "Trump is Scum" and referencing some dinner aprty where Ronald Reagan apparently had holocaust deniers in attendance in a sort of "These are things you shouldn't say in polite society". Yet what stands out the most about these statements, are their inherent hypocrisy.

We've seen in the world, the rise of Post-Modernism; where our society has lazily accepted there being no such thing as "Truth" but rather different "truths" for different groups, where everything sacred must ultimately be deconstructed, mocked, demeaned, and where the only apparent value in this world without truth or morality is some apparent "Authenticity".

What makes Zizek's complaints so hypocritical however, is that The Left has happily used Post-Modernism for years, and yet recoiled in horror when it was used against them. For years we've seen artists make their own blasphemous renditions of the "Piss Christ", we've seen any attempt at a serious discussion on Gay Marriage railroaded by leftist comedians talking at length about Blowjobs those same Comedians later trying to use former Texas governor Rick Perry's name as a shorthand for the disgusting combination of bodily fluids that "leak" after a session of gay sex.

When Atheists learned that the only apparent unforgiveable sin in The Bible was to essentially openly and virulently rebuke God and insult him, they made it a fucking game. When Sarah Palin ran as McCaine's vice president, you had various Hollywood Leftist Comedians calling her a "Cunt" or coming up with vicious rumors about her family.

In terms of Political Discourse, The Left has long been on all levels and throughout it's history, the child screaming obscenities at the top of its voice as if it had just learnt them. It isn't merely the modern "Progressive" Left--as I'm well aware the typical excuse for their insanity is that they aren't "True" Leftists because they aren't Socialists, though rarely does anyone explain how Socialism became the gatekeeper to Leftism. Throughout history you've had Socialists come up with some lovely, shocking quotes involving "Strangling The Last King on the entrails of The Last Priest", referring to Religion as a mere "Opiate" of The Masses, and getting involved in such lovely activities as choking Catholic Spaniards to death on rosaries in Spain.

Even Saul Alinsky essentially spewed crassness in his "Rules for Radicals", namedropping such lovely protest concepts as a "Shit-In" whereby one could protest long lines at airports by hogging the bathrooms.

All in all, this was a strategy that wasn't meant to easily "Die" once The Left had one. Mocking Christianity is completely socially acceptable, after all we have shows such as Lucifer which reduce centuries of Theology and Spiritual Truth to "The devil is just this hawt guy that wants you to have fun and be free guys XDDD", any more Piss Christ's are just blasé, and whilst drawing the Prophet Muhammad is still controversial, most artists are naturally cowards and realize that they're infinitely more prone to be butchered by a furious Muslim than they would by a Christian.

Most Left-Wingers, the Corbyns, the Zizekians, the Chomskys, they all pay lip-service at times to "polite" society; whilst their ideology is essentially a toilet overflowing with shit in terms of politeness, they at least try to not fling shit at the dinner table. In comes Trump however, and it's less his actual policies that send people into a hysterical tizzy, as it is his crassness. In truth he's everything the "mainstream" Left have been demanding of Republicans: he's ambivalent towards Gay Marriage, cares more about infrastructure than The Free Market, even fairly anti-war in a way.

Yet he committed the horrible crime of referring to some people as "losers", of using crass words such as "pussy" in a manner demeaning towards women, he insults people, he spews shit, just as they've done for ages.

Except they were unprepared for their sacred cows to be attacked.

Y'see Post-Modernism is a double-bladed sword. Whilst they have thoroughly "deconstructed" any sense of human decency, tradition, culture, and morality since it harmed the right, most of The Left was unprepared for their actions to be reflected on them. They were happy to dip a crucifix in piss, but seethed when people refer to the "Third Wave Feminist" movement as a bunch of sexless, bloated airheads at best, and their "Sacred Femininity" as nothing more than bimbos and tools for getting your rocks off.

They were happy to plaster images of genatalia everywhere and have their little slut marches, but shocked and disturbed at a man who simply likes to grasp their holy cow "By the pussy" as it were.

You see, we as a society have sacrificed values for glibness, we've decided to deconstruct the very things that help keep our civilization running. We've mocked authority at every single step. We've pissed on concepts such as "honor" or "absolute morality", we've portrayed humans as nothing more than filthy pigs with nothing to strive for but to roll around in more filth: and without a sense of the sacred, without a break from the glib, without something firm to latch onto, to anchor us to this world, the only thing left to the virulent Post-Modernist is power and how to use it.

"Racism" became the holy sword of The Post-Modernist, Prejudice became its Original Sin, it launched Crusade after Crusade, not quite to eliminate Prejudice so much as for each Post-Modern zealot to assert his own power.

Look at the social circles of these people, /r/Socialism, Atheism+, look at Occupy's Progressive Stack, look at their protests!

Here's something specifically for The Left-Wingers, if you've managed to read through most of what I wrote to this part:

The people on The Left, the people in power, the people you see rise to moderator status on your forums and subreddits, they're playing a game of power. Cries of Racism are not meant to eliminate prejudice, but to force organizations and individuals to "Bend the Knee". These are not "Socialist Extremists" you deal with, but people desperate for power, true power, social power.

Everything these people do is one big, horrifying game brought on by post-modern discourse: values such as "Freedom", "Equality", "Liberty" have become valueless to them, instead the value of "Power" became absolute, because Power is the only one of these values you can actually feel, you can actually hold and use. Power is getting Mozilla's CEO to resign for merely donating to an anti-gay marriage proposition. Power is one of the nominees to the DNC stating that her job is to "Tell White People to Shut Up", it's the simple schoolyard bully extorting his peers for amusement.

The Left, as a whole, has embraced Post-Modern discourse so thoroughly, that it utterly destroyed any motivation for a certain subset of people to pursue, with the exception of power.

Quite s imply, to those who feel their ideology has been hijacked: it has. It's been hijacked by nutters straight out of a bad Ayn Rand novel, by people motivated solely by the pursuit of power, who hover towards your ideology, towards some crusade for "righteousness" because it allows them to exert power over others.

The only solution I can offer you is this: let man find something sacred. Try to expunge the glibness, the crassness, from your communities, try to let things remain un-"Deconstructed", and the power-mad will vanish eventually, hopefully.

I wrote this post half-buzzed and sleep-deprived, it probably shows. Still, I was motivated enough by anger to churn it out. I hope it at least proves something.
