Unless one of two things occur:
- The "movement" becomes sufficiently organized, or
- A "reset event" occurs.
Addressing point the second, firstly: If worldwide plague, a large meteor strike, Jesus popping back in from wherever, aliens landing on the South Lawn, or something similar occurs, the utter disruption of the status quo would open the door to freedom enough such that if enough want it, we would have it. Many possible resets, however, are not the sorts of things anyone with the least shred of rational sanity would want. I'm not even sure about the Jesus thing, given the talk about him being a mite pissed with us.
That leaves option one as the most likely, however currently unlikely, path forward.
Why do we think the "left" is so successful?
Organization, plain and simple. They are motivated, have sufficient common ground - the destruction of the status quo - and actually show up.
Regarding that common ground - consider the advantages they hold per that bit. It is a single issue. It is simplicity itself - simplistic, in fact. As with everything "left", it has the ease of entropy on its side. Destruction is ALWAYS easier than creation. The "left" may one day rue its victory of bringing down the status quo, that is if the longer term vision is to live as something better than cavemen. Destruction is very easy. With a single match I can destroy a mansion in no time. With a large and capable construction crew, building one takes weeks or months. Entropy is easy if you are willing to live with the results.
Now consider the "right's" task load - a common base view of what it means to be free, and having the will and decency to live by it. Creation of an order that supports freedom. The list goes on, but I will not bother you with lists at this time.
The workload of those seeking freedom is at least two full orders of magnitude greater than that of the far-left "progressive" statists who seek at this time naught but the destruction of that which currently is.
WRT the destruction issue, it is my suspicion that the left has no plan for life after the revolution - at least not the common man. The leaders may, but I wonder how well they have worked out the details. I further suspect that they have not worked them out much at all. Currently, Theye rely on hard-working middle-class people to provide all the "free" stuff to themselves and their constituents. When they win, who will provide for them in the wake of the destruction? That is a huge and very open question.
Will the same people be around to do as they have done since the beginning? I believe they will, mostly, but will they continue to be willing? If not, what then? Slave labor camps? And if they are not around, who among the hordes of non-adept "lefties" are going to undertake the tasks that lie beyond the abilities required to ask "would you like fries with that?" The "left" has a huge problem of which they are either unaware, or stand in deep denial. Those who comprise their constituency are not only ill-bred, undisciplined, cowardly, weak, and proudly ignorant. They are, by virtue of those qualities that they chose to uphold as virtues wholly incapable of learning that which is needed in order to continue humanity's technological civilization. Worse yet, for them at least, they have neither the wherewithal nor the guts and will to survive in a more primitive idiom.
In a word, the so-called "left" is begging to commit suicide. I don't care if they all died in the coming five minutes. I would gladly work on a crew to dispose of the bodies in huge burning piles just to be rid of their stupid selves. They will, however, take the rest of us with them if they are allowed to go much farther than they have come to date.
All this will not likely alter the course of the "left" because they do not possess the mental capacity required to see it - a capacity that your average squirrel has in abundance. That is how blindly stoopid those people really are. If they win in the manner they so clearly desire, it will literally be the end of human civilization; a regression back to the tenth century, if the survivors are even to be that lucky.
It is to this to which we have to look forward, given the stated goals of those claiming to be "progressive" - a return to medieval life.
Now, if we assume the masters of the progressive household are not quite that stupid, it would mean that Theye intend on preserving the current class of people who do the actual heavy lifting in terms of making this technological civilization possible, both physically and intellectually. Given this, it would appear Theye have still miscalculated in some disastrous manner in that the order which they appear to want to foist upon the doers is one that the true makers of this world, the intellects and ethical laborers, will not much like. In fact I suspect the real New Order will be of such a nature that a great plurality of those who would have otherwise been out there, busting their humps to "make it", will throw up their hands and decide that since nothing they create is theirs, according to the Masters, there is no point in creation. Those people will give up and become just another raft of takers, expecting someone else to provide the basics.
At some point, there will be insufficient means of sustaining the parasite class and Theye will be faced with a very fundamental decision: step off and let people be and do what they are and will, or press your non-adept serfs into service. We already know how that is going to work out. But if we assume it doesn't quite come flying apart, and if there is in Theire minds even the least aspiration to something better, even if just for themselves, Theye will need "muscle" mental as well as physical, to make it happen. The only way to get it will be a system of rewards, and once Theye go there, they have abandoned their own vision of absolute, dull, uniform equality and taken a step toward that which they campaigned and upon which they rained destruction.
Theye are, in a word, $#@!s. Theye are some of the most impossibly blind and willfully stupid people ever born, as they lovingly labor to hate and destroy that which made Themme possible. The truth there is a Gordian Knot of idiocy so perfect as to defy all credulity. And Theye will never see it coming because even when it stares them in the puss, Theye will deny it. It's what Theye do.
Despite all this, Theye have determination on their side, and plenty of money and organization. Those who proclaim freedom, do not. The "right" (just to be conversational) is fragmented. The task load for liberty is, as stated above, a hundred times more difficult because it entails creation, vis-à-vis destruction. This all requires stout training, common and proper vision, self-control, discipline, resolution, ethics, decency, charity, and love. All the lefties need is hate and a will to destroy, both of which they hold in vast reserve.
The "right" is a disaster area in terms of philosophical underpinnings. There is no unifying principle underlying the "liberty movement". Spouting "liberty!" is not it. Without full and rigorous definition, cries of "liberty!!" get us nowhere.
Just look at the divisions - the stupid abortion debate is perhaps the poster child of this idiocy. It doesn't matter a whit whether one is "pro-" or "anti-". Neither side of the issue has the sense to table it until the greater war is won, at which time if they want to go at it, I will personally pass out the pistols and ammo.
It is this small-minded quality that drives the wedges between people who are supposed to be on the same team. This is idiocy nonpareil. Look at how the "left" deals with this potential: they institute "PC" such that no matter what the one may think, he shuts it and sticks to the simplistic talking points, which are few. "Kick out the jams!" and nonsense like that - stuff to which ALL lefty fools cleave as starving infants to their mothers' nipples. This has served the inestimably great value of keeping the lefties off of each other's throats and at those of "the enemy". Meanwhile, the religious righties are damning the agnostic agorists to eternity in hell, and so forth down a drearily long list of items that are not supposed to be issues for lovers of freedom. They forget the very precepts they claim to hold as their guiding lights, such as the Golden Rule: Live. Let Live. IOW, STFU and MYOB. But no. The one calls for the damnation and imprisonment of those who say that MAYBE a woman is within her rights to abort a pregnancy in its first twelve hours, or that some tatt00-laden stooge is entitled to burn a spliff on the courthouse steps, and so forth.
This is the primary reason that evil is going to prevail. We are too busy with our bull$#@!, while the evil is drilled and ready to rock.
Laugh at it. Dismiss it. Call me "village idiot", if it makes you happy. It will make no matter in the end because unless "we" organize and get a single and common structure under our feet, we will see nothing of victory for liberty. And no, Trump's moves in the less-evil direction don't count for that much because we still labor under a framework of tyranny, if a smarter and kinder variety.
OK, I guess I've said too much.
