Picture this. A Witchdoctor and his followers are jumping up and down in a field. They believe that the crops will grow better by following the dancers’ example…

A Witchdoctor is always wrong. But he never ADMITS he is wrong.

Liberals and Witchdoctors have the same mentality.

Their prescriptions having turned out badly, they ALWAYS blame the disbelievers. The doubters must be spoiling things. So the solution is always the same. They ostracise the doubters and get everyone else to follow the same old prescription but with more fervour than before.

As far as dancing in the fields goes, it took CENTURIES to overcome the lack of critical analysis. It wasn’t until the Victorian period that enough farmers turned away from witchdoctering and instead paid attention to scientific experimentation and statistical analysis. Food production increased accordingly.

Liberals/Witchdoctors have a pre-Victorian mindset. An Early Victorian thinker, Marx, at least made a PRETENSE of being scientific. Liberals/Witchdoctors don’t even do that!

In the meantime, the Witchdoctor has stopped dancing in the fields of agriculture. But in other fields the Witchdoctor/Liberal keeps jumping up and down.

Old mentalities die hard.
