Marxism, Communism, National Socialism, fascism,  the United Nations, “environmentalism”.  And now, most recently, “fairness”.

What do they all have in common?  The root cause.  Each is driven by the same  subconscious belief.  It is an idea–utopianism–in three parts.  The unholy trinity of  Militant Narcissism:

You must do as I say because I know better and it is for the greater good.

It is the knowledge that everything isn’t perfect, the inchoate certainty that it should be…and the insanity that it can be.  All will be perfect, believes the utopian…when he controls all.

Everything else in modern ideology is rationalization.  Everything utopians say is a pack of lies created, told, and believed by them.  Militant Narcissism is like sand in an oyster.  It can’t just sit there, be seen for what it is.  How could they ever get their way then?

You must do as I say-

No, we don’t.

-because I know better-

No, you don’t.

-and it’s for the greater good.

No, it isn’t.

They come very close to saying exactly that.  But even in their mad self-worship they know it isn’t enough.  So they cast about for a problem–capitalists, das Judenkind, SUVs–to which they claim the solution.

And so utopianism inspires ideology as sand provokes a mollusc’s mucus.  But think of these beliefs as vehicles, not pearls.  With modern isms it doesn’t matter if you’re in a German sedan or a North Korean clown car.  Look under any hood and you’ll find the same infernal, implacable engine.

You must do as I say because I know better and it is for the greater good.

That is the utopians’ motive force.  As for the chassis, the wheels, the interior?  Trivia; nothing but taste and style.  Marx’s design is so popular that numerous vehicles are still built from it.   (And, as always, the next one will finally perform as advertised.)

These trappings are trivial because few Militant Narcissists care about them.  The journey isn’t about the vehicle, it’s about them and their fellow travellers.  It’s about…looking cool.  Cruising with the top down, checking yourselves out in the mirror, cooing over how amazingly gorgeous and wonderful you all are.

Pathetic, yes.  But that’s not the problem.  The problem isn’t the narcissism.  Narcissus didn’t care about your carbon footprint.  He didn’t trouble anyone but Nemesis.  But utopians differ from him the way a malignant tumor differs from a benign one.  They are militant.  They don’t just crave worship, they demand it. 

Their trinity of lies isn’t just hideous.  It is absurd.  There is not a single fact to support it.   Any understanding of history or humanity invalidates the theory.  And in practice utopianism murdered more people in one century than is recorded in all the ones before.  

Utopianism is beyond stupid and is denied by all existence.  And yet it thrives more than ever; it has become the dominant force of Western “Civilization”.   Why?  Because it is both virus and drug, contagion and addiction.  And there is no part of the mind it doesn’t infect and intoxicate.

You must do as I say, claims the id;

I know better, exclaims the ego;

For the greater good, declaims the superego.

The idea is impossible.  But it is also half Ebola virus, half crack cocaine.  And once contracted, utopianism is almost impossible to cure.  It is solipsistic; all outcomes reinforce it.  If you join the utopian, you prove him right.  If you resist…you show him where the imperfection is.

Narcissists feel their world should be flawless, but know it isn’t.  Militant Narcissists grit their teeth and say grimly, “oh, but it will be.”

Insane, yes.  But very powerful, and immune to outside pressure.  Utopians are like Terminators:  they don’t give up.  They barrel forward in their pride, oblivious to the dings and fenderbenders of their own mistakes.  When necessary they’ll toss on a fresh coat of paint, change license plates, visit the body shop.  It is only when the ride finally–inevitably–crashes and burns that they’ll consider changing vehicles.  To do otherwise is to admit mistake, which threatens their core belief.

There’s no better example of this madness than “environmentalism”.  These utopians had a very smooth, very profitable ride in the 1990’s when the license plate was “Global Warming”.  Then the wheels started coming off.  First, inconveniently, the globe stopped warming.  Of course, “that’s weather, not climate”.

But then the Hockey Stick was proven hokum, methodologies were proven skewed, data was shown to be cherry-picked.   Then the lies and false doctrines of their high priests were discovered and revealed to the world.

Time to change vehicles?  Not when you can just flip the license plate.  Though “Global Warming” is still used whenever a locale has a heat wave.  (That’s climate, not weather.)  Now utopians begin to favor “Climate Change”.

Think about that.  The climate changes, it has always changed.  Even–gasp–prior to the internal combustion engine.  Now environmentalists want it to stop.  They seek to impose on nature the most unnatural change imaginable.

How will they react if you point this out?  The way you would if someone keyed your car.  “You scratched my paint!”  Very few of them will know how to repair the damage, but they all know who to blame.

But if enough people point out the flaw, utopians have to pretend to care.  They’ll send out credentialed repairmen to say, “Obviously, we mean anthropogenic climate change”.  The implication being that you are ignorant and they are perfect.  Heads I win, tails you lose. 

Now utterly destroy their policies.  Say, “then obviously we need to increase our carbon footprint whenever it gets colder”.  How do they react?  Exactly as you would if someone bashed in your windshield.  

Logic is useless against utopians because they do not reason, they rationalize.  They move away from conclusions, not toward them.  And as the immortal couplet says,

A man convinced against his will,

Is of the same opinion still.

This is what we are up against. 

On the one hand, today’s utopians aren’t as murderous as last century’s…yet.  On the other, terrifying hand…they are banding together.  Once upon a time, utopians opposed each other.  Hitler and Stalin played bumper cars with National Socialism and Communism, then tried to force each other off a cliff.   

But today’s utopians—the Ruling Class, the EU, the United Nations, environmentalists—are teaming up.  It can’t last, of course.  They must turn on each other as Hitler and Lenin did, as Lenin and Mao did to their own people.  But it seems treachery can wait until the common problem is eliminated.  Leaving no comfort for us, the common problem.

It’s time to acknowledge that utopians are impervious to logic and that acting otherwise just makes things worse.  You can no more reason with a Militant Narcissist than you can an oyster.  Yes, they are still human beings.  They are also sufferers and carriers of a contagious insanity that debilitates both mind and morality.  Even if you are immune, “debating” allows the infection of bystanders. 

We joke about the coming “Zombie Apocalypse”.  Meanwhile utopians control governments, schools, universities, communications, arts and entertainment.  The inmates have not only taken over the asylum and all the loudspeakers, they’ve also seized the children’s classrooms. 

is it any wonder that “Zombie Apocalypse” resonates so strongly?

You must do as I say because I know better and it is for the greater good.

The utopians came together under that banner and advanced upon us.  We fell back, and still do.  You can measure our ongoing retreat by every lost liberty.   

No more retreat!  Stop pretending the foe can be reasonable or that parley is possible.  Let us raise our own standard, reverse our retreat, force them to fall back.  Mad as they are, we can still fly a flag that they will understand.

No.  No.  No.
