Never Waste a Crisis (Why a Crisis Produces Instant Moral Outrage From the Left)

The Progressive narrative, and the drumbeat of the war that supports the narrative, is never so obvious as in a time of crisis. Crisis is when Moral Outrage can win a battle that was not being overtly fought. Crisis provides a temporary change, a lever that can be forced against the ideological opposition. It works like this:

The Progressive narrative is moral, because we, the intelligent, the ethically immaculate, the evolved and superior elite, are moral by definition; it is our narrative, and it is our ethical definition. Never forget the moral superiority of the narrative.

The Progressive narrative demands change because the world is not built to our standards.

Change is moral; opposition to the change which we righteously declare as moral is obviously immoral. There must be a constant battle against the immoral in order to implement righteous change.

Opposition is evil. It must be stopped. We, the righteous, will do whatever is necessary (and possible) to stop those evil enough to oppose righteous Progressive change.

When a crisis occurs it is because the unrighteous, the evil, the demons, have impeded our progress toward a world that is perfect. Therefore, the unrighteous have full responsibility for the crisis. In a perfect world, that which we would create, there would have been no crisis. Thus, those who challenge Progress toward that perfect world, those demons, those evil, immoral impediments, those monsters are fully responsible for all the evil that the imperfect world continues to produce.

It is our moral obligation to gush with moral outrage when a crisis occurs, regardless of the facts of the crisis; the immoral opposing monsters are responsible for all crises that occur in this world, a world that needs us to control it, to provide equal outcomes and social justice under strict supervision and control from our Progressive governing wisdom.

Our moral outrage is not merely justified; it is required because it could advance the narrative or at least protect it.
