Why liberalism is the cause of so much misery, suffering and death.

Not only does liberalism ignore millennia of human experience, but denies and erases it.

By the time of the most primitive civilizations people had discovered some basic truths that led to some basic rules that were necessary for a successful civil society:

1. There are concrete moral realities. Those who violate these morals are to be shunned and stigmatized.
2. There are basic crimes against civil society. Those who commit these crimes are to be punished.
3. There is evil in man. When it makes an appearance, it must be crushed, exterminated, smothered in the crib.

Liberalism does not recognize any of these. Is it any surprise that, any place where liberalism rules, there is an epidemic of crime, poverty and mindless savagery?

The liberal is basically a selfish, willful child. The 3 rules of civilization inhibit his "me, me, me" mentality from satisfying his urges. He creates an impossible, alternative reality where these ironclad rules do not apply and you can still have a civil society without them. So he acts upon and imposes rules opposite to reality:

1. All morality is relative. One man's morality is a good as any other. Right and wrong are judgmental terms and must be eliminated.
 

2. The criminal is not at fault for his crimes. It is society's fault for putting him in the position where he had to become a criminal. So, you do not punish the criminal, you punish society. Rehabilitation does not require admission of guilt or acceptance of your acts. It consists of assuring the perpetrator that he is the victim.
 

3. There is no such thing as evil. All men are born good. Therefore, the response to evil acts is to talk, negotiate, get the other person to see how good you are and to see your point of view, and he will come to his senses.
 

So, as the moral order that is the foundation of individual responsibility breaks down, you have more crime. Since the crime is society's fault, the thief, rapist or murderer is turned loose to punish society. And, as evil, which is simply destruction personified, is allowed to run rampant and grow, all is destroyed.
 

Ah, the liberal utopia realized at last! The funniest thing is, as all falls down around him, the liberal will blame the real world! That's right. So locked into his fantasy world is the infantile liberal mind, that those who chastise him for his foolishness will be held to account for his own idiocy, even if all they do is verbally criticize him, that will be blamed for the chaos and annihilation of his world.
 

He is truly a pathetic creature.
