Comments on: Learned helplessness as a political value https://www.isegoria.net/2016/07/learned-helplessness-as-a-political-value/ From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Fri, 12 Jun 2026 15:36:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Slovenian Guest https://www.isegoria.net/2016/07/learned-helplessness-as-a-political-value/comment-page-1/#comment-2486378 Slovenian Guest Sat, 30 Jul 2016 06:39:56 +0000 http://www.isegoria.net/?p=40591#comment-2486378 The irony is of course that Trump doesn’t color even that much outside the lines. Hell, he is milk toast even compared to 1992 Slick Willy (hey ladies), who sounded more Republican in his convention speech than Trump does now. LOTB did a good summary: I re-watched Bill Clinton’s 1992 convention speech.

This just shows you how much the Overton window shifted left in the US. It’s truly scary. I weep for thee!

Rule #1: don’t say anything bad about your side. Thus, Charles Murray is now a traiterous cuck for talking about morals rather than just trade deals.

I share none of the author’s confidence about this country’s ability to change social norms. He gives smoking as a positive example. Shall we start listing negative ones? Smart things elites tried to do but failed, and stupid things they were actually able to implement?
