Outsiders ginning up unrest in Ferguson? Fake claims of a War on Women? Demonizing the successful? Weakening America? You didnt build that? So many examples... “Utopianism attempts to shape and dominate the individual by doing two things at once. It strips the individual of his uniqueness, making him indistinguishable from the multitudes that form what is commonly referred to as the masses. But it simultaneously assigns him a group identity based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, income, etc., to highlight differences within the masses. It then exacerbates old rivalries and disputes or it incites new ones. This way it can speak to the well-being of the people as a whole, while dividing them against themselves, thereby stampeding them in one direction or another as necessary to collapse the existing society or rule over the new one... Utopianism finds a receptive audience among the society’s disenchanted, disaffected, dissatisfied, and maladjusted who are unwilling or unable to assume responsibility for their own real or perceived conditions, but instead blame their surroundings, the system and others. They are lured by the false hopes and promises of utopian transformation and the criticisms of the existing society to which their connection is tentative or non-existent. Disparaging and diminishing the successful and the accomplished becomes an essential tactic. No one should be better than anyone else regardless of the merits or value of his contributions. And by exploiting frailties and frustrations, jealousies and inequities, a sense of meaning and self-worth is created in the malcontent’s otherwise unhappy and directionless life. Equality of result or conformity is advanced as a just, fair, and virtuous undertaking. Liberty, therefore, is inherently immoral except where it avails equality.” --from Ameritopia, by Mark Levin
