I tried to find a quote from Gov. Jerry Brown when he was caught on a hot mic in a telephone conference call, during his governorship reboot. (He said something about the teacher’s unions controlling gov. policy in some fashion.) Sorry, this event has been scrubbed from the Bingiverse.

In this case we’re discussing teachers (or rather their extremely political and partisan union leaders). We could as easily look at Cuomo and liberals’ love affair for him precisely while and after he was killing thousands of seniors. People embracing and celebrating evil actions.

Obviously tribalism explains some of it. Can we dismiss such a massive embrace of evil behavior simply as a product of tribalism? It’s okay to loot and burn and viciously slander innocent people because it is our side doing it? It’s okay to repeatedly subvert the constitution and the rule of law because it’s our side? It’s okay to steal elections as long as we do it? Biden can violate the constitution with the eviction moratorium because he’s our guy. Biden can be corrupt and a criminal because he’s ours? Same for Obama and the Clintons and Cuomos and all the rest of the corrupt and crooked Ds? The FBI, CIA, DOJ and NSA can violate everything our nation stands for as long as they are our guys? The news media can lie relentlessly because they’re ours? We don’t mind crushing small business because they don’t tend to vote for our side?

I understand people are uncomfortable with the word “evil”. I was, too. But “morally immature” doesn’t adequately describe all this. I don’t think “morally deficient” fits, either. These people are nasty, vile and vicious. They are utterly unconcerned about the death and destruction they wreak or they support. If you don’t use ‘evil’, what description is adequate?

I don’t have to know the exact extent of a forest fire to know that a firestorm is upon us. Though we do have a pretty good idea of how many teachers have publicly spoken out against the lockdowns because the left immediately cancels them, which results in an outcry of protest on the right.

Yes, no doubt a number of teachers are afraid to speak out. Revisit my comment about bravery. What degree of character and allegiance to principle, much less concern for their students can a teacher actually have, when they remain silent as they stand witness to the degree of harm being done to innocents entrusted to their care?

Take off your lawyer hat. We don’t need to know “the exact proportions” of how many teachers oppose the lockdowns. All we need to know is that the left is in charge of the institution and that the great majority of however many who are opposed… are silent. That silence renders them morally culpable in the abuse. Given that we’re talking about children, moral culpability cannot be overestimated.

They’re part and parcel of a system that is teaching young, impressionable children that evil is good and good, evil.

It doesn’t matter whether they personally believe that, what matters is that when they teach the authorized curriculum, they’re advocating it. And you can bet that every teacher silently opposed is being forced to comply.

Of course 4 out of 5 would go back if required to do so. They’re jobs i.e. income depend upon it. To quote AesopFan’s quote; “You cannot make a man see something when his income depends on his not seeing it.” Of course we’re talking about those who do see it but are silent, which puts the lie to protestations of truly caring about the children they ‘teach’.

Again, when we are required by circumstance to do the right thing and we choose not to do it, we have chosen to do the wrong thing.

Is that harsh? No, it’s reality and consequence.

This is tangentially a Covid thread, so here is a current post on the subject by one of the contributors, Nitzakhon. The emotional reaction seems a bit extreme to me, but it’s well within in the zeitgeist of the day.

This weekend we went on a hike with the wife’s BFF and fam. The hubby, with an air of devotion to the Covidian Cult, again wore his “Science will win” shirt (above the pharma company logo), which was the subject of discussion by he, his wife, and my wife at lunch. I kept my mouth shut. Not that I agreed with a word of the discussion, of course. Why silent? I had recently been reminded of an expression that I thought had tremendous import:

You cannot make a man see something when his income depends on his not seeing it.

And this guy’s income (not to mention profit-sharing, which I will guess will be monstrous-big), absolutely depends on his not seeing any risk at all with The Jab. …

Circling back to Rule 3 (“circling back” – you see what I did there?) there [is] a modification that comes to mind on the above quote:

You cannot make a man see something when his sense of himself as a good / intelligent / educated / caring person depends on his not seeing it.

And this is the problem we face. We are told to believe the experts/science, and most – not understanding the issues or actual data – eat it up. We are captive to dread, the fear porn that’s been pumped into us non-stop by the enemedia.

And some observations about mandate protests in other countries, and extreme anti-vax sentiments.

This is a new feature permitted by our host. Let’s see how it goes. Doing my best to spread “misinformation”.

All links are presented “as is” and I make no guarantee for the accuracy / truthfulness of any. However, as a pattern of what I’ve been observing, all the links presented here – and yes, I leave many I read out – seem to me to fit into a unified and consistent skein on this subject.

Note: LOTS of info. I don’t expect every link to be clicked on, but rather am presenting a buffet for you to select as you will.

“Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks.
Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!”
(Robinson Jeffers)

Goodreads adds the line “said the gamey black-maned wild boar tusking the turf on Mal Paso Mountain.”

More about Jeffers and his poetry here; the excerpt cited, from “The Stars Go Over the Lonely Ocean” (1941) is pretty far down.

What you describe cannot be reversed by a reactionary march back through the institutions. The Left knows when it’s being attacked and fights back with everything. Only ‘Conservatives’ are weak and permit this kind of thing to be done to them.

Two approaches I can think of:

(1) Seize Power by any means and burn it all down and rebuild. Bit drastic IMHO. I like electric light and air conditioning.
(2) Seize Power by any means and clean them up == Gleichschaltung.

And anyone who gets the Heebie-jeebies (so to speak) about (2) needs to have a good long think about whether or not they have been hypnotised into letting the Left always win. History doesn’t have to repeat itself in every aspect.
