Introduction
I am a law student who does not belief that the law saves people.
I believe that people must be taught to be dependent on their own jugdement, for better of for worse. The alternative, speaking in grand philosophical terms, is deference to social consensus, which has a tendency to steer us away from our original thoughts. These are our most precious resource, and unknown to students of linguistics, owe their origins to something quite separate than Language.
I am not religious, in any conventional sense. But I understand that people are as perfect as they ought to be with their flaws as much as without, and those who seek to purify the human race are only people with a cruel subconscious tendency to suppress natural human emotions and conduct. They do not like what they see inside themselves, and then project it onto the world where they want to remedy all People of the flaws they feel inside themselves.
I distinguish between "genuine", "naive", and "affected" liberals. Genuine liberals do not like violence and oppression and are moved by plight, constantly seeking to improve our humanitarian instincts. Naive Liberals do not realize their vanity controls their behaviour, and are at the whim of social consensus and media pressure. Affected liberals argue for the integrity of a system through criticizing others, while they themselves, for some fateful and unknown reason, feel at liberty to distort truth and "smear" opponents, using rhetorical bullying tactics that are designed to manipulate the mob from the suckers at the bottom to the academics at the top. It is no coincidence, I have discovered, that people who argue against reason are in a violent spiritual war to destroy the integrity of sanity in society - so that they might be forever "safe" in the hands of their own flawless control. Perfectionists, academics, journalists and activists - many have a chip on their shoulder that they project onto the world, informing others of their inferiority, the meanwhile unaware that their critical voice is actually the one that they hear in their head, and which constantly bullies them and makes them feel as though they are "bad".
Humanity needs to feel as though it is good, without being perfect - this is the goal of psychotherapy. Affected Liberalism seeks to make humanity feel as though it is never good enough through identifying our shortcomings as social beings, or inventing them, somehow making all people feel responsible for the past or present, which is well out of our control.
In order for people to have control, they must identify their own feelings of happiness, and the "badness" they feel inside themselves. This is something that affected Liberalism can never admit - that its adherents could be bad-natured in some way. This leads to repression and projection and an endless search for the origins of the feelings of badness which propel the liberal imagination. The search outside themselves for what they do not have the strength to identify in themselves. "Badness" is a social construct, they say - and deftly dismiss any need to investige the shadow within themselves, which is where we find the truth of who we really are, among our deepest fears. Undoubtedly fear of abandonment is a strong motivation to create overbearing social cohesion. Emotional isolation and moral relativism are identical.
If I could choose a mission, it would be to point out the irrationality of affected Liberal discourse, so that one day people might develop the skill to perceive where our "extra" emotional input comes from, and drives us towards bias to which even we are blind. If we teach ourselves to pay attention to our feelings, we will discover that we can figure our their meaning - and it means that people are capable of behaving as though they are obeying laws without needing to be forced. This is the ideal state for humans, and the sacrifice of security is offset by the wisdom necessary to perceive unhealthy feelings before they develop into a "folie de deux", as the psychotherapists say, or into Fashion Victimization, in my lingo, which substitutes peer pressure for independent thought through abusing people's self-esteem until they are trained to do it themselves, and create an Empire of Insecurity. This exlpains the viciousness of the Affected Liberal mentality.
