THE POSTMODERN LEFT: SPOILED TEENS

MARK STEYN:

At some point we will come to see that the developed world’s massive expansion of personal sexual liberty has provided a useful cover for the shrivelling of almost every other kind.

Free speech, property rights, economic liberty and the right to self-defence are under continuous assault by Big Government.

But who cares when Big Government lets you shag anything that moves and every city in North America hosts a grand parade to celebrate your right to do so?

It’s an oddly reductive notion of individual liberty.

MY EXPLANATION:

Liberty without Natural Law isn't libertarianism; it's libertinage.

The postmodern left has rejected Natural Law and embraced moral and cultural relativism. That essentially means that doing what is right in one's own eyes is the whole of the law. That is the very definition of evil.


Postmodern leftists want a paternal state in which the parent supplies food, shelter, clothing and an allowance, but also let's them stay out all night, use drugs, sleep with anybody and anything, and not be required to contribute a penny to household expenses or to work doing any household chores.

IOW: Postmodern lefists are the functional equivalents of teenagers. Bad spolied teens.
