Liberals never explain it because they believe the world operates on magical thinking. If enough people combine their imaginations, the thing they want happens. That’s how they conceive of reality
For them that largely is how it works, they’re able to will a lot of bourgeois policy into action because it didn’t challenge power. When they see an actual challenge to power, they are incapable of approaching it from any other perspective because their brains have been rotted by their ideology.
they all know when they want unions to go away they have to hire pinkertons and employ cops to beat their skulls in. Suddenly they know their imagination isn’t good enough and they have to take violent action to protect their interests.
Yeah, but they don’t have to go out in the streets and protest for Pinkertons and cops to be called. They just think it and it happens and the status quo is maintained.
Calling the cops or hiring union busters is essentially magical thinking because it pretends to solve some problem with no real political action, it exists as a free side effect of the current system. You can literally dial 3 numbers and have just about anyone locked up if you’re a rich white person.
Thumbing through Steve Jobs’s dream journal so that I, too, can be a billionaire (and then self-medicate my pancreatic cancer with an all-fruit diet because I am a the world’s largest gifted child)
Ironic, considering libs call other people orks: in warhammer 40k this is literally how orkish psionics operate. They can wish things into existence if enough of them believes something hard enough.
