The Grand Unified Theory of Liberalism, adapted from Evan Sayet

The Americans born around 1950 were the first generation to enjoy an unprecedented level safety and prosperity. For most of history, you had to be smart and lucky in order to avoid poverty, hunger, disease, war, etc. The relative lack of hardship allowed them to indulge in fantasy.

And when they came of age in 1960s, that is what many of them did. The great evil of their generation was racial discrimination. The struggle against racial discrimination slowly morphed into a struggle against *all* discrimination.
What they failed to realize is that thinking itself is discrimination. It’s impossible to survive without sorting truth from lies, good from bad, etc.

So when they became adults, their central principle was no gender, race, culture, religion, etc can be better than anything else. So when a country or culture or group does do better, it must be because they are cheating somehow. And the cheater must be punished and the victim must be rewarded. The net result of this is that the liberal will inevitably favor what is evil and failed over the good and successful. They have to in order to fulfill their cosmic duty to balance out the universe.

And that’s why liberals will side with the USSR over the US, failing public schools over successful private schools, Castro over Thatcher, and on and on and on…
