UTOPIAN EVOLUTION will PERFECT itself when the PROGRESSIVE LISTENS carefully TO THE CONSERVATIVE JERKS WHO PRATTLE  about our PROLETARIAT UNWORTHINESS  and ACCUSE US OF BEING WELFARE BARBARAS. GET FAMILAR WITH THEIR SCORN, their love of  WARS, militarism, FASCISM. SPOT their FLAWED DARWINIAN LOGIC, THEIR profound RACISM, THEIR JUSTIFICATION FOR SPITTING THE WORDS "UNWORTHY and STUPID" at ethnics. OUR BATTLE as Progressives who'd HELP THE TRAMPLED get a LEG UP -- is to spot and "OUT" their hypocritical ANALITY. THEIR GREED. THEIR VANITY all of which they hide in the closet with their million dollar Armani suits while they PLOT to give you a job shooting civilians in their next WAR. IRAN!

The conservative mind is good for one thing. It somehow ALWAYS ends up giving HUMANITY MORE And BIGGER and BETTER and more long-lasting WARS OF GENOCIDAL CONQUEST. The fascist mind of  SUPER RICH CEOS and the PENTAGON are ABLE to guide the country's policy along those lines. They fear other nations grabbing food from our table, ergo they buy elections, run think tanks, pay lobbyists and bribe the candidates they fund. THEIR AIM is pirate resource wars to get cheap workers abroad, no unions, total control over workers with local despot's help. And all the goodies. Our CONSERVATIVES crave the resources, minerals and oil of dozens of little helpless countries and HEY. THEY RUN ARMIES full of Genocidal G.I's SO THEY WILL GET THEM. How could they fail? They had MILLION BUCK EDUCATIONS and they spout a lot of CONSERVATIVE THINKING on the MEDIA (which they own) which PORTRAYS the 99% as shiftless commies,  unfit to think and recommends that WE and our kiddies be left out on an ice floe. HEAR THAT PRATTLE, you HAVE ONE JOB, ONE BATTLE, to be eternally wakeful, on your toes REFUTING LOUDLY. POINTING OUT out to standers-by this incredible CHUTZPAH given their true aims and do it WHIP FAST! With a smile. Elegantly. As if YOU HAD HAD the million buck education.

TO run down the guys in the RITZMOBILES, we must point at the emperor's clothes, spot the moral leprosy, be familiar with the snake tongued CONSERVATIVE monologue. This 1% group  is  to this day led by the thinking of Russell Kirk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Kirk who wrote 'The Conservative Mind' which gave all the rich,  control-desiring CONSERVES CEOS and GENERALS out there a raison d'etre, a THEOLOGY... of enslavement, genocide, death, and PIRACY which looks so TONE-Y on paper! I dug up an article on CONSERVATIVE THOUGHT and I am going to SCRIBBLE OVER its pontifications below.

This guy Kirk (In other languages that means CHURCH) basically said that the educated, rich and prosperous were only ones with souls and should be the annointed and appointed ones -- the Mandarin class or Brahmin caste and  of course, it would be THEY who SHOULD... make the laws.

Kirk said that there were a lot of idiots on God's Green Earth and cutting them any slack, doing any welfare FUNDING of idiots would just cause them to MULTIPLY and as these slackers had nothing to do all day, they'd start making revolutions.

FDR was a KIRKER from birth but before his first election, in the depth of depression, he was confronted with a mob (Thomas Hartman and Chris Hedges talk about this on PBS, and LINK CHANNEL, hope you have 'em) and FDR was told "either you do welfare and job corps or you will not get into office. FDR shaped up. His wife Eleanor, a social worker pushed him from the other side of the bed which helped  his kindness 'take.'

Conserves A.) don't want to give welfare to any person who couldn't figure out how to get a job or muster up the pluck to get one. Even though it be nigh esclavitude.
 B) Conserves make it their job to see that average Joes don't publish, vote or persuade elections. They got TEAR GAS to keep 'em in line.
C.) Conserves Build bastions against PROLES with media propaganda machines. Make 'em seem commie, dirty, violent. And sign them up as cannon fodder for wars to get them off the street.

So your homework: google "REFUTATION" + "conservative mind" Russell Kirk..(found some words of his, append below And a piece on 'The New Conservative found at. https://www.newyorker.com/news/hendrik-hertzberg/breitbart-blogger-backs-n-p-v

This will allow you to start Refuting the Canons of Conservatism, and btw, here is Part I  as I found it pretty much.

 "When I go to the Politics section of my local bookstore, I find a major difference between the books aimed at liberals and those aimed at conservatives. The liberal books typically focus on critiquing conservative politicians or critiquing the results of this or that conservative policy. The conservative books, on the other hand, often focus on critiquing liberalism as a whole: Michael Savage's Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder, Ann Coulter's Godless: The Church of Liberalism, Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism,

Although I view most of these conservative books as a blight on public discourse, they highlight the effectiveness of critiquing your opponents' entire ideological system of beliefs, instead of engaging in ad hoc criticism of this or that policy. In this spirit, I have decided to look at the philosophical core of what conservatism really is and focus on how to refute conservatism as a system, instead of merely a random collection of policies and personalities. The best and most succinct summation I could find of traditionalist conservative views is found in Russell Kirk's book, The Conservative Mind. In the introduction to this book, Kirk lays out what may be called the Six Canons of Conservatism, a series of six short statements explaining the core of traditionalist conservative ideology. By focusing on these six canons, I aim to refute the fallacies of conservatism, explain why conservative leads to negative consequences, and illustrate what liberals can learn by taking conservative ideology seriously.

In this blog post, I begin by critiquing the first of Russell Kirk's six canons of conservatism. Subsequent blog posts in series will be devoted to refuting the other five canons. Russell Kirk identifies the first canon of conservatism as follows: Belief in a transcendent order, or body of natural law, which rules society as well as conscience. Political problems, au fond, are religious and moral problems. A narrow rationality, what Coleridge called Understanding, cannot of itself satisfy human needs.

 ‘Every Tory ( Also known as the Tory Party or the Tories, the Conservatives are the largest single party in the House of Commons.) is a realist,’ says Keith Feiling: ‘he knows that there are great forces in heaven and earth that man’s philosophy cannot plumb or fathom.’ True politics is the art of apprehending and applying the Justice which ought to prevail in a community of souls. Conservative rhetorical strategy often uses complex, flowery, and high-flown rhetoric to mask the nature of the real world and intimidate potential ideological opponents.

To make Russell Kirk's first canon of conservatism less intimidating to the reader, I will critique the canon one sentence at a time. Belief in a transcendent order, or body of natural law, which rules society as well as conscience. The references to "transcendent order" and "natural law" are typical of secular conservatives who want to appeal to a higher supernatural authority, but who personally don't have much comfort with "God talk" themselves.

 Belief in God doesn't necessarily make somebody a conservative, but what kind of God do conservatives believe in? If Kirk is correct, then conservatives not only believe in God (or some other similarly "transcendent" being), but they assume that God has a role in establishing "law" and "order" over the world. (In this view, the conservative God becomes akin to a sheriff of the cosmos.)

The order created by God does not merely influence humanity on the level of individual conscience, but "rules society as well as conscience." But if God rules society, how do we know who should rule on God's behalf? In the history of all the major world religions, God moves farther and farther away from the people who worship him.

 In Judaism, Yahweh has always been distant, and the Messiah is yet to come. In Christianity, Jesus was crucified, rose from the dead, then ascended into heaven in the 1st century AD. In Islam, Muhammad ascended into heaven in the 7th century AD. Believers guide themselves according to the Talmud, the Bible, or the Koran, but in many situations, believers cannot agree on the basic question, "What does God want?" And if God is not issuing any clarifications about his desires, then the potential for demagogues claiming to speak on God's behalf becomes much too great.

 Political problems, at bottom, are religious and moral problems. What does it mean to say that all political problems are religious problems? The previous sentence emphasizes that God creates order in the universe. If all political problems are religious problems, then challenges to the political order must be viewed as challenges to the order created by God. According to this version of conservatism, anyone who challenges any aspect of the current political order is not merely impractical or wrongheaded, but evil for committing disobedience against God. By linking the political order with the supernatural order created by God, conservatives promote both dualism and demonization.

 Eventually, conservatives begin to believe that they are on the side of the angels, and everybody else is in league with the devil. (For some conservatives, this belief is metaphorical rather than literal, but the consequences are often the same.) One consequence of this dualistic view of humanity is an increased level of violence in society.

According to the sociologist Gary Jensen, in the article Religious Cosmologies and Homicide Rates Among Nations, nations with high percentages of people who adhere to dualistic religious beliefs have higher rates of homicide than nations where the population has more non-dualistic beliefs. To be specific, if a nation had a high percentage of people who believed strongly in the existence of both God and the Devil, then the nation also tended to have a high rate of homicide.

By contrast, societies with non-dualistic religious beliefs (i.e., nations with a high percentage of people believing in God, but only weak belief in the devil) had low homicide rates. By characterizing political problems as religious problems, conservatives thereby encourage people to go out hunting for metaphorical devils and demons, thus making it more acceptable to settle political problems through violence. In addition, Kirk's canon of conservatism suggests that conservatives have a problem reconciling the existence of a God-ordained social order with the presence of evil in the world.

 If God is intimately involved with how our society structures its political order, then why is there so much evil in the world? Doesn't the existence of evil imply that the world that God created is "disordered" rather than "ordered," as the conservatives believe it to be? Perhaps God left the political sphere of humanity in disorder on purpose, just to test how humans would exercise their free will on the political system. If that is the case, then conservatism will lead to nothing more than the demonization and persecution of people for violating order where no order exists.

We know conservatives accept the existence of evil, because otherwise they would not have such a dualistic conception of the world. But if evil is all around us, how can we be so sure that there is order? And even if we had no doubt that God has created an order for us, how can we be so sure how God wants us to punish those who violate it? A narrow rationality, what Coleridge called Understanding, cannot of itself satisfy human needs. Here's where Russell Kirk gets into the conservative rhetorical strategy of using intimidating high culture literary allusions (a strategy mastered by William F. Buckley) to scare off potential ideological opponents. The reference to "what Coleridge called Understanding" is a reference to Aids to Reflection,a philosophical work by the 19th century poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. ( WHO NEEDS THAT GUY? He was  a known opium user.)

 In this work, Coleridge distinguishes between two modes of thought he calls "the Reason" and "the Understanding." Coleridge defined the Understanding as "faculty judging by the senses". In other words, the Understanding refers to the human ability to think and learn by gathering information through the five senses. But if that's how Coleridge defines Understanding, how did he define Reason? According to Coleridge, the Reason is rooted in "eternal truth", while the Understanding is "a mere conclusion from a generalization of a great number of facts." As an example of an "eternal truth," Coleridge cited the assurance which you have that the two sides of any triangle are greater than the third. This demonstrated VIEW of one triangle is seen to be eternally true of all imaginable triangles. This is the truth perceived at once by the reason, wholly independently of experience. It is and must ever be so, multiply and vary the shapes and sizes of triangles as you may.

Even we don't get this part but
we pretend we do.

At this point, Coleridge and Kirk's distinction between the Reason and the Understanding can get hazy. Evidently, the conservative upholds "the Reason," which is rooted in "eternal truth," whereas the liberal upholds a more limited, "narrowly rational" Understanding. But is "eternal truth" merely limited to logical truisms (such as geometrical laws about triangles), or is "eternal truth" something more religious and metaphysical? Clearly, human beings engage in many different modes of thinking and reasoning. Humans do not limit themselves to "the Understanding" that their five senses can give them. Humans must also deal with abstract concepts and beliefs and hopes and ideals and figments of their imagination, which you can view as proof of the existence of a higher metaphysical "Reason" if you like.

On the other hand, the existence of a metaphysical force of "Reason" as part of human thought holds no implications for how society should be designed or ordered. You can have abstract logical laws of mathematics and science that humans can't see, but that doesn't mean that God has mathematical or scientific laws for designing how society should be ordered. Narrow rationality might not satisfy all of humanity's needs, but conservatives trying to implement a nonexistent Godly order on earth won't accomplish that goal either.

 ‘Every Tory is a realist,’ says Keith Feiling: ‘he knows that there are great forces in heaven and earth that man’s philosophy cannot plumb or fathom.’ Conservatives correctly understand that humanity's capacity for reasoning is finite and limited, but that does not mean that those limitations should be celebrated. (It is in this respect that conservatism can fall down a slippery slope into the celebration of willful ignorance.) Yes, there may be "great forces in heaven and earth" that humans cannot understand, but that does not mean those forces should be treated equally. Even if we assume "great forces in heaven" cannot be understood by humanity, we cannot make the same assumption about "great forces" here on Earth.

As Freud argued in Civilization and Its Discontents, the process of civilization is a process where humanity uses its collective brainpower to extend the reach of its five senses. We use the microscope and the telescope to see where the naked eye cannot. We use the microphone and the tape recorder to hear what the human ear cannot. We use the computer to transcend the storage capacity limitations of our own brains. Don't celebrate humanity's limitations for placing humanity closer to God. Celebrate the ability of humanity to find new limitations to transcend. Yes, there are "great forces" on Earth, but that does not mean we shouldn't try to understand them. True politics is the art of apprehending and applying the Justice which ought to prevail in a community of souls.

What does Russell Kirk mean by a "community of souls"? According to Kirk's statement of Ten Conservative Principles from his book, The Politics of Prudence, "the body social is a kind of spiritual corporation, comparable to the church; it may even be called a community of souls." The obvious objection here is that Kirk's comparison of society to a "community of souls" or a "spiritual corporation" has theocratic overtones that threaten the exercise of religious freedom, but additional objections also remain. If it is the purpose of politics to "apprehend" God's justice, how can we do any "apprehending" if we are supposed to assume that man's reason is unable to comprehend the "great forces of heaven and earth"? It is here that the core beliefs of conservatism run into major epistemological problems. On the one hand, human beings must "apprehend" the God-ordained design for society. Yet somehow on the other hand, human beings are too dumb as a species to understand either the universe or its Creator. Unless, that is, some people are more able to comprehend "the great forces of heaven and earth" than others. It is the consequences of this belief that I will examine later in this blog series.
