The extreme left of Michael Moore and Slavoj Žižek plus no doubt Noam Chomsky and if he could he would arise out of his grave Jacques Derrida, want to, repeat, WANT TO, no NEED TO own this movement. Anything to make it not look like a Tea Party gathering. What happens between people within the group must under NO circumstances be what happens within people between groups. Before that happens, brains must have been washed by the ultra-left. It is okay to deconstruct the fabric of social reality into the nothingness these left elites supposedly live and have lived themselves, but it is not okay not to let people constructively recollect their own backgrounds, pride, joy and happiness (let alone what the Sixties took away from us, our belief in God, Truth, Self and Reality - peace, man!)
That is exactly where the
defecating on police cars begins, where the smile on Moore's face widens to twice its size, for this is what will sell his
new film, where the old hippies congratulate themselves for being the new elites, as if that really changes anything. As long as people are not allowed to be their own person with a voice, but must as individuals submit to the group, on the left, just like groups must submit to the top dog on the right, groupsism is just as bad as cronyism and the dangers of polarization may be greater, since people on the left don't even CARE that they lose themselves to the group. As sociology has taught us, the canvas of society is made of power-distances and as long as mobs can make it look as if everybody is equal and together during the mobbing, the new elites can position and divide everybody between them into power-distance relations again, after they won, which this is all about, no doubt.
Power-distance is dependent rejection. The opposite must be the new principle, independent confirmation, like followership instead of leadership in social media. There are two ways to go there (or move away from it), groupsism on the left, which is independent rejection, or cronyism on the right, which is dependent confirmation. Truth, after all, is what we see when things and opinions can be independently confirmed. Religiously or street-wise.
I bet Moore had Žižek flown in especially for the soap box opera scene in his new communist United States propaganda film.
See the word "English"?
