This is War

Three blog posts reveal the pattern. They are at war and there is no mistaking it for anything else.Firstly here is Radix's Charles Jansen quoting David Hume:

The [Tories] are commonly less assuming and dogmatical in conversation, more apt to make concessions; and tho' not, perhaps, more susceptible of conviction, yet more able to bear contradiction than the [Whigs]; who are apt to fly out upon any opposition, and to regard one as a mercenary designing fellow, if he argues with any coolness and impartiality, or makes any concessions to their adversaries.
David Hume noticed these differences 250 years ago. These differences persist to this day. Steve Sailer notices them as well.

A friend with a lot of experience in how the media works calls to note that his prediction last fall that the prestige press would just bury the Haven Monahan hoax with boring technical details is coming true. He says: They never admit a Loss; every narrative is either a Win or a Rainout. This one is becoming a tedious, indeterminate rainout.

Finally Vox Day perceives the same effect.

They will lie and and dissemble and exaggerate and spin with such shameless abandon that the average individual will find it almost impossible to believe they are doing so.

Vox seems to be under the impression that they all do this because of a character defect, but I think they are just immoral & know full well what effect they are having. Vox quotes Sun Tzu:

 War is a thing of pretence: therefore, when capable of action, we pretend disability; when near to the enemy, we pretend to be far; when far away, we pretend to be near. Allure the enemy by giving him a small advantage. Confuse and capture him. If there be defects, give an appearance of perfection, and awe the enemy. Pretend to be strong, and so cause the enemy to avoid you. Make him angry, and confuse his plans. Pretend to be inferior, and cause him to despise you. If he have superabundance of strength, tire him out; if united, make divisions in his camp. Attack weak points, and appear in unexpected places.

I think many know this damn well without ever having read Sun Tzu. The Left is obsessed with politics & they seek to achieve victory by any means at hand. In a more hierarchical system these strategies might open them to ridicule, but as respect for any sort of authority (religious, political, cultural) has eroded, thanks in no small part to demotic politics, they are more & more able to cheat, dissemble, & deflect. First the left destroyed the old battlefield & then they created a new one customized to their own needs. This war was decades old before Hume noticed it & it is only now entering its final phase. We would all be well advised to read & understand a little more Sun Tzu.
