Check Your Class War

The latest Leftist bumper sticker concept is the self-righteous moral order to “check your privilege”. The bumper sticker is not an argument, it is an accusation against the Other, which is part of their Class War, in the form of a Leftist Papal Bull. So if you are of the wrong ancestry, skin color, sex, religion or political notion, then you have an “unfair” advantage by Leftist decree. To achieve absolute equality, then, you must shuck your genetics, your skin, your sex, your religion, and your political notion before you enter into the presence of your superiors; refusal is thus immoral and reductively, aggression toward "Good" humanity.

There seems to be no other way to interpret that direct order. This moral imperative is based on several presuppositions:

(1) The Left is THE moral authority, with the authority to order you to abandon your own genes, skin tone and other personal characteristics. You are ordered to become: them.

(2) Absolute equality of outcome is decreed to be THE moral principle, according to Leftist religious ideology. This is Marxist class warfare.

(3) If you do not agree with the concept, then you are an oppressor and the enemy. Battle lines are drawn.

(4) Your actual heritage, original financial background, character, and accomplishments in the face of adversity have no meaning. Only your originating color class, and life philosophy matter; it is those which the Left must control. (Which is why Asian-Americans are part of the Other…).

(5) If you are not a Messiah or an entitled Victim, then you are part of the Other, which is “privileged” by definition. The Other must be attacked, and divested of its Otherness. This is the Left’s single goal: to achieve a social construct with only two Classes: the Elite (Messiah) Class, and the herd (Victim Class).

In the USA, the Other is being reduced to the Victim Class by eliminating the middle class using stealth inflation, and financial support to the huge banks and the 0.0001%, which now includes such politicians as most of the Senate Democrats like Harry Reid.

At the collegiate level, the Class War is on Whites and Men, as seen by enrollment levels that favor Victim Classes (women rank high) and discriminate against Asians, for example. And also by the employment of Leftist professors who promulgate Leftist Fallacy as absolute unarguable Truth.

At the K12 level, well, everyone gets a blue ribbon because everyone is of equal value regardless of their character or accomplishments.

So in actuality, privilege which comes from work ethic, intellectual honesty, and superior performance is already being checked, by Leftist, Marxist incursions into the social fabric.



From the article linked above:

"Their poisonous notion of privilege is really just another way for liberals to pick winners and losers based not upon who has won or lost in the real world, but upon who is useful and not useful to the progressive project at any given moment. "

Stan,
Here is an example of a religious social justice activist that understands that real justice isn't something the government can provide, but is something we can all work towards together. http://www.thorncoyle.com/blog/2013/10/24/we-can-manifest-a-world/

Richard,
I'm not sure what to make of "Thorn". The issue of police militarization and willingness to fire on the populace is a serious one. But it requires a political solution, with permanent, severe restraints placed on police, with guaranteed consequences for malicious or incompetence.

Meditating on a sidewalk doesn't seem useful, except to the person doing it.

The entire political system is corrupt, and California is the leader in that area. that can exist only in a culture which is corrupt. If both are corrupt, as they are in CA, then it is time to move on, or revolt. The ancestors of the USA did both: they moved out of England, and they revolted against England.

There is no place left to move to that is not corrupt.
