Liberalism is Just a Never-Ending Psy-Op
The Southern Poverty Law Center is just the tip of the Iceberg
The Southern Poverty Law Center is in the news. You may have heard of them because supposedly, they’re left-wingers all about fighting, “hate groups.” You know, like the Nazi Party or Ku Klux Klan. In fact, they largely built their reputation on running the KKK into the ground with lawsuits, mostly in the 70s and 80s.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is almost like the perfect representation of that brilliant quotation from Eric Hoffer:
Even in the seventies and eighties, the KKK was barely even a shadow of what it had been earlier in the century, and there weren’t hordes of new hate groups replacing them. Yet, Democrats were desperate to portray America as a horrible, bigoted place, and being “against hate” was extremely popular with both rich liberals and corporations. So, how could the SPLC keep the money flowing in?
One new tactic they adopted was defining conservatives and conservative organizations as extremists or hate groups. Some of those targeted included the Center for Immigration Studies, PragerU, Ben Carson, and Ben Shapiro. They also targeted the Family Research Center, which led to a nutjob named Floyd Lee Corkins trying to KILL PEOPLE THERE. In a sense, this became the core part of their new mission of the SPLC: To use the credibility they built up fighting hate groups to label mainstream conservatives as HATE GROUPS.
Yet, that wasn’t enough to pad their numbers. So, they started to dramatically exaggerate the number and scope of hate groups in America. They counted chapters of the same group as different organizations and targeted tiny groups, barely active ones, or even just websites, as potential threats.
As it turned out, even that didn’t appear to have been enough for them. According to the Department of Justice, although though they took donations to fight hate, the SPLC turned right around, took that money, and used it to FUND PEOPLE ENGAGED IN HATE:
The SPLC has claimed that these people were “informants,” which seems like an extremely dubious claim. It’s the equivalent of Mothers Against Drunk Driving paying “informants” in the liquor industry to tell them about the latest plans to get more people drunk.
It just doesn’t make a lot of sense, especially since, according to the DOJ, some of the people on their payroll were DIRECTED to engage in hateful conduct. For example…
We could go on, but you get the idea.
What do you do if your business is convincing people hate is on the rise, and it isn’t? Apparently, you FUND THE HATE YOURSELF, then point to it, and fundraise off of it.
Now, people are talking about this case all over the place, but what I would like to point out to you is that the concept behind this cuts all the way down to the core of how the modern Left works.
Their ideas are terrible. Unworkable. Disastrous. There are an infinite number of examples we could point to, but this recent one really stuck with me:
How does it make sense to bring illegal aliens with AIDS into our country? That’s not just a bad idea, it’s INDEFENSIBLE INSANITY. So much of liberalism is like this, and the Left makes absolutely no effort to argue for it, explain why people should support it, or generally make the case for doing it to the general public in any way, shape, or form.
Instead, liberals do something completely different.
They try to boil everything down to…
1) We’re not debating this issue; we’re debating whether the people who disagree with us are evil or not.
*** or ***
2) The only thing that matters is that we say this is the popular, mainstream view.
If you’ve never thought about it this way, start paying attention to the arguments liberals make, and you will see it EVERYWHERE.
What is the Southern Poverty Law Center, really? It’s a way for liberals to brand America as racist, define liberals like themselves as the only people against racism, and define mainstream conservatives as racists.
This is actually very similar to the fact-checking scam. Liberal organizations were created to “check facts” to determine if they’re true or not. They actually do SOME of that, but many facts that are harmful to liberals or helpful to conservatives also get labeled as “false,” whether they are or not.
Why does every Hollywood awards ceremony revolve around a bunch of empty-headed celebrities trumpeting left-wing values and condemning Republicans? Because celebrities are popular with the general public, and they hope people will just go along with what the “popular people” say.
This is the same reason liberals are willing to lose staggering amounts of money pushing left-wing ideas into popular TV and movie franchises. They hope that if you see it enough times, you will just assume, “This must be the mainstream! After all, it’s in Star Wars, She-Hulk, and Velma!” Is it working? Not really, no. But they’re trying it.
Why does the NFL need to have left-wing slogans in the end zones? Because a lot of normal people like the NFL, and they want to browbeat them into embracing the liberal idea that America is overrun with racism:
Why do liberals keep claiming there’s a “scientific consensus” that global warming is occurring, even if it’s not true? They want you to assume that it’s unquestionably the mainstream view.
The job of mainstream news sources used to be to provide the public with “all the news that’s fit to print.” Now, it’s to push propaganda that protects the Left and assures the public that conservatives are horrible people. For example, what do you think caused this? It certainly wasn’t any sort of actual spike in “white supremacy” in America:
What was the social media censorship we saw during the Biden presidency? It was liberals in government and social media saying mainstream conservative positions were so outrageous that you weren’t even allowed to speak them out loud without getting banned while liberal positions were just the norm.
Why do many liberal pollsters deliberately skew their samples to make liberals look much more popular right up until the last minute in elections, when their results matter much more for their reputations? Because they want to present liberal ideas as popular and conservative ideas as hated.
In addition, liberals never debate the results of their policies. There’s always some made-up substitute issue where we’re supposed to be debating whether conservatives are evil instead.
It isn’t about whether we secure our border or not; it’s about whether conservatives are racist for wanting to obey the laws on the books. It isn’t about whether it’s a good idea to let a male sex offender slap on a wig, call himself Jessica, and go into the bathroom with your 5-year-old daughter; it’s whether conservatives are “transphobic.” It isn’t about whether Obamacare dramatically increased the cost of healthcare for most Americans; it’s about whether conservatives hate poor people or not.
Liberals will tell sad stories, make false accusations, switch topics every 30 seconds, contradict what they said 30 seconds ago, claim that your motivations are bad, outright lie – anything other than debate the actual policies they openly support and the enormous amount of harm they do to other human beings.
Liberalism is all one endless con. A perpetual psy-op on the American people that never, ever ends.
Everything you've said here is true; these events should potentially shock the Left, yet they are perfectly consistent with the Left's playbook. It's tough for me to watch, this constant lying and manipulation. They take advantage of the fact that with the internet, a lie travels around the world instantly, while the truth takes a while to catch up, by which time those pre-disposed to believe the propaganda have had their notions confirmed and have moved on; or will simply reject any new information that contradicts their cherished beliefs. My disdain and contempt for the Left is massive and equally well deserved. The Demoncats in my family have implicitly replaced Christianity with liberal politics, so no facts that contradict what they believe can be acknowledged or received. Makes it frustrating to debate with them, they are fine with being "fact free, and proud of it" as a defense mechanism, they will never admit when they get it completely wrong. Instead, there's a lame excuse or a "whataboutism." Doesn't bode well for the future of America.
John, you couldn’t be more right. And the sad thing, is that they do that to their own voters. Most democrats are not for men is girls bathrooms, allowing criminal illegal aliens to remain in the country, etc. but they tell their voters that all that matters is abortion rights and protecting democracy etc. while pushing all their bullsh*t anti-American, anti-western agenda on the whole country.
