Drowning in counterfactuals.


Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a real problem in this country.. Of course that problem is government running around and shitting/ everything up.. but the reason this persists is the fault of something far more insidious and subtle. It's the counterfactual argument. It has become a usurper, and has quietly destroyed all forms of actual accountability.

Look at TARP and Obama Care. Look at the mess that California is in and the BAILOUT they want to correct it. These issues are a microcosm of all that ails American domestic policy. In every case, counterfactual argumentation is used as a scare tactic. Accountability itself becomes the problem and the threat! "OH FUCK!! We HAVE TO buy up all the bad assets!!! Or else!!" "Oh hell, we HAVE TO force everyone to buy health care.. Or else!" "Oh shit, we can't let California go bankrupt!!"

In this way, counterfactual argumentation supplants accountability. It puts off a richly deserved reckoning..

Well, duh.. Right? So what obviously needs to happen?

FAILURE needs to be EMBRACED. EVEN ENCOURAGED!

People, institutions, governments and even entire states NEED to be ALLOWED TO FAIL. Until this happens, we'll continue to drown in counterfactual nonsense. People, institutions and government will CONTINUE to make stupid decisions and avoid responsibility via mountains of unprovable counterfactuals. Only through FAILURE can blame be assigned. Only through FAILURE will people finally learn to fear counterfactual arguments from people like Barak Obama, Paul Krugman and scores of Liberal scaremongers. Only FAILURE can make us stronger and smarter.


California NEEDS to be permitted to GO BROKE. Wild spending NEEDS to result in higher levels of taxation. Multicultural experiments NEED to be permitted to end in failure.. (As is happening all over the world this minute) Remember forced busing? Like ALL liberal travestys, that was based on an absurd counterfactual argument.

Okay.. So, how?

Simply.. If this trend is to be reversed, we are going to have to return to Constitutionally limited governance. It's perfect precisely because it WON'T STOP LIBERAL STUPIDITY! Not at all! In fact, it would be FOOLISH to even try!

It won't stop a single liberal program.. It won't curb a single liberal abuse. What it WILL DO is isolate the damage and assign the blame! Ruinous laws and regulations, if enacted at the State Level, (California comes to mind) aren't to be feared. They are part of the process by which the 50 states act as laboratories of democrary.. and PROVE good ideas to be good. And consign poor ones to the dustbin of unworkable, liberal/utopian horseshit.

Failure removes the counterfactual defense.. It de-fangs it.

People NEED TO SEE RUINOUS LEGISLATION AND INITIATIVES FAIL before they will greet a government snake oil salesman (Or their proxy in, say.. The MSM or the editorial pages of the Times.) with LAUGHTER and derision.

The FREEDOM TO FAIL is THE TRUEST FORM OF FREEDOM. Under performance in the real world will save us from the clutches of silly academics.. and expose them as the fools and liars we all intrinsically know them to be. It's a Darwinism of ideas that WILL RESULT in clear winners and clear losers! Only by letting this evolutionary sort of conceptual combat play itself out in localities all across this nation can we ever hope to escape the thought stopping, counterfactual nonsense that is leading us to ruin.

Heil Hitler.
