We are told, in Christianity, that there are Seven Deadly Sins or Capital Vices, if my catechism is recalled correctly. They are, as follows:
- Lust
- Gluttony
- Greed
- Sloth
- Wrath
- Envy
- Pride
Why? I'm glad you asked. Because the world's most deadly ideology is fully constructed of it.
Which one is it? Why, socialism, of course.
Socialism is nothing more than codified envy. You want what other people have so you concoct a reason and way to take it from them without being judged for envy and then theft. See? Best of all possible worlds, right?
And then you let Socialists into your institutions of education and government and you get... today's society.
I am now going to illustrate my point by pointing out one single account on Tik Tok where you can see Envy in all its glory. It's a Twatter Account called Libs of Tik Tok.
It is glorious in its display of the sheer stupidity and wanton avarice of people who consider themselves progressive. A quick scroll down the timeline and you can quickly see, Lefties be crazy.
Women more so than the beta males simping for them hoping to get laid or pegged.
The worst of them all are women who hate men who are happy... at all... for any reason. I have to admit, I've seen plenty of Chris Pratt hate on every social media site, but Tik Tok is THE WORST. Hands down, the very worst. They can't decide if they love or hate Elon Musk. Bill Gates is now hated by people who championed him as the savior of the world just three months ago.
They envy their happiness, their wealth, their achievements, their relationships, their children, their very existence.
There was one chick having a major hate strewn meltdown because Chris Pratt was overwhelmed by how his wife looked at him. She looked at him like... and I know this is a weird thought these days... with love. The Tik Tok idiot hated Chris Pratt, for whatever reason, but most likely because she's been told by her 'friends' that she should hate him. She doesn't even know why she should hate him, she just does. She hates that he's happy, that his wife loves him, that he has kids and loves them and... provides for them.
Not only that, she hates that he's successful in his field and that people love him.
She wants that love and adoration for herself. She wants his popularity, riches and life for herself because he's undeserving and she wants it. It should be hers so she hates him for having what she lacks.
And this is the entire Millennial Generation. It's why they embrace things like carbon foot prints and don't recognize that when only taxation can save the world, they, too, will be taxed to death... because no one could be more greedy than they are, right?
In one of my first posts, years ago, titled The Moral Foundation of Capitalism, I stated the difference between greed and capitalism. Greed is wanting something for nothing. Capitalism is a fair exchange of goods and service for a price determined by market value. Greedy people want to get something without having to risk anything for put forth any effort. Capitalism shows you work hard, and if your goods or services are desired by the market you will be successful and grow.
Socialism is built on envy. Envy of the producers who make things, or provide services that are necessary. Envy of those who are happy. Envy of those who are loved and who can love others, especially themselves.
In their world, there is nobody worse than Hitler, unless it's Donald Trump. However, I don't use Hitler as my benchmark. He was a piker compared to Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, or Pol Pot. Hitler was a base racist, but compared to the other three, he was a rank amateur. He, too, was a socialist, but he was not completely blind to the dangers that comes from just killing everyone who doesn't think exactly just like you do. No, the Soviets and Communists were all over that. Mao alone killed more than Hitler and Stalin combined. Pol Pot gave it the old college try, but he just couldn't cut the mustard. Because there was none. There is a wonderful post about it here.
Why is this? One thing is that Boomers cheapened life with Roe v Wade. Once you say murdering children is your moral duty there is no lower level in hell to sink into. Abortion on demand, the proliferation of drugs, sex and rock and roll and you have a toxic stew of hatred and envy.
But, that wasn't quiet enough.
So you begin "othering" people, breaking them into smaller and smaller groups so they can't cohesively bring an attack upon the ruling elite. You do this by pointing out that they have things you don't, that they "stole" it from others, so it's your moral duty, something virtuous, to take it from them for your own because only you can responsibly handle having whatever that is. Only you can wield it with the virtuous purity the Left demands as it spirals tighter and tighter.
They go to college and are told that women should not dress to attract the male gaze. If men don't like them the way they are, then they should be lesbians. Chicks before Dicks is the outcry on all college campuses. That's why they leave all cute and cheery and come home for Thanksgiving looking like Hilary Clinton. I've seen it myself. They come back fat, piercings all over, tattoos and blur or pink hair cut by someone with a Ginsu.
It's where they learn that envy is a virtue, according to their feminist studies teachers that only got the job because someone they went to college with knew they needed a job and voila! Soft Science courses become mandatory.
They are inculcated into envy with stories of how they are not getting what they are owed by whatever group is out of favor that hour. They are gently nudged to seeing they don't need no man. They don't need no kids. That will happen after their glorious future is achieved and their college loans are paid off... by working at fast food job because gender studies degrees get you nothing but blue hair, a catalog from Lane Bryant and a huge chip on your shoulder.
Because they are owed!
They are stupid and lazy and want someone to take care of them their entire existence while they live a life of sexual hedonism, drug addiction and... whoa, who else just thought of Brave New World? Where's my Soma?
Boomers have managed to streamline their failures down to their grandchildren. Xers were way too laid back to buy their gas because they were a bunch of hippy losers. But Millennials? They eat that shit like candy. Why the fuck do you think bell bottoms made a comeback?
However, I do not blame Boomers for all of the ills in the world, just for having used Progressive ideals to promote and promulgate them. Don't believe me? Look at pictures of Jay Carney's apartment in New York. Psst, he was Obama's mouthpiece.
So we have an entire generation of young people who went to college and got useless degrees they can't get a decent paying jobs with. They grow bitter and more bitter because they can't get married, have a family, buy a home or even a flippin' car. They can't imagine a life without someone providing their cell phone and internet access. I promise you, kicking those chicks out of the nest is a near impossible job.
Gen Xers for the most part, went to college, but many did not. They got trade jobs, or went into the military to pay for their education. Back then college was way more affordable with less useless mandatory classes that only exist because someone's college roommate needed a job. We also didn't have so much admin back then.
I have far too many friends who paid for their child's education, just to have them either drop out, or not be able to get a degree with a liberal arts degree, unless it's to work in HR for some corporation.
So Millennials envy. They envy they Gen Z kids who are going to trade schools and are getting higher paid job than the Millennial assistant manager at KFC pay grade. Many are going to college and are majoring in hard sciences.
There is a huge gulf between wanting what someone else has, and wanting to take it from them so they can't have it and you can.
I would like to have a new car. However, I am too cheap to finance a new car that is purchased for way more than it will ever be worth and loses half its value the moment I buy it. I prefer to pay cash and Presbyterian them down to almost net/net pricing. I can like my daughter-in-law's new car without wanting to take it from her so I have it. No. One of these days my husband will come to me with the sad news he can no longer keep my Rodeo going and I will have to face buying another vehicle. Don't let him know, but I already have it picked out. I'll begin squirreling away the cash for it after the holidays and be prepared to pay for it when the day of doom comes for me. I love my Rodeo.
I can see friends with kids who love them and not envy them that. My kids love me, we're just not in each other's pockets about it. I can jewelry on another woman and not want to take it from her. I will find out where she got it and buy my own.
Oh, I get it now!
