      It’s hard to be logical and a liberal because liberalism means avoiding uncomfortable conclusions.

      Like: ‘vote!’ For who mf—all the candidates have the same policies? The logical conclusion is that capitalism and democracy are incompatible and that voting won’t substantially change anything. Yet there they are, refusing to follow the logic.

      I quite like that Roderic Day article on the masses and rebels: people accept the messaging in media not because they’re brainwashed gullible idiots but because they choose to go long with it as a self defence mechanism. You can’t shout, ‘From the river to the sea’ at work and keep your job in many places. So people stay silent or condemn Hamas or whatever instead.

      Following the logic means accepting that you’re peeling the liberal mask off the fascist beast and that you’re happy with it. Or it means becoming a revolutionary. The first one is easy. The second one means a lifetime of hardship. Liberals choose the easy one, hence they must reject the premise of logic.

      Better to stay silent? Sure. But for those who’ve abandoned logic, compassion, and principles for treats and acceptance by other bootlickers, what’s support for one more atrocity?

        I feel like what we have on our side more than logic is reality. Science and facts will always support socialism.

        Logic is just something that happens in our brains, and it really helps figure a lot of things out. But it doesn’t represent reality in any direct way. Logic is not part of the laws of nature.

        Science shows this very clearly. A lot of factual science makes absolutely no logic sense. Quantum mechanics as a whole is the easiest example of this.

        But even simple things, like “races”. Logically it’s something that made sense at the time it came into being. But now we know through scientific facts (genetics etc.) that all humans are the same race, and all apparent races are absolutely superficial differences.

        And that’s the issue with logic. Logic conforms to ideology, not to reality. We must break with certain accepted “logics” to find the truth sometimes.

        Which honestly makes libs like this even scarier. They are PURE ideology. No thought, just an eternal ghost haunting them into being rabid fucks.
