The Case for Optimism: 10 Reasons Why the Pro-freedom Right Will Defeat the Anti-Liberty Left

From No Q Report.com (Oct. 25, 2021):

J.B. Shurk’s motivational Case for Optimism made the important point that the freedom community on the right side of the political spectrum has to be optimistic simply because the anti-liberty left cannot win this fight.

Note the dual meaning. The leftist enemies of freedom and civil rights are such that it makes it impossible for them to win, and while it would be a disaster if that were to befall the planet, it is still hard to be positive when it’s been a steady diet of doom and gloom. Each day brings yet another attack on freedom and progress from people falsely labeling themselves “liberals” who want to implement collectivist ideas that can be traced back to ancient Greece.

Many of these reasons for optimism of the pro-freedom right are because they are directly contrasted with the negative characteristics of the anti-liberty left. While it may seem they have the upper hand at the moment, it is only a temporary condition.

Far-leftist liars can only play their little games of wholesale word re-definitions and projection for a little time, then factual reality has shown them for what they are and the lies no longer work. Recent events of ‘Let’s go Brandon!’ have shown us that the false façade is failing. These “advantages” will soon be reasons why the anti-liberty left is reviled. We’re only going to put up with the woke insanity for so long, after that, it’s as Newt Gingrich stated the other night, that those people are playing with fire and there are a lot more of us than there are of them.

While we have many reasons to be down, these here are 10 reasons to be optimistic:

1. We are on the side of freedom, the anti-liberty left is on the side of authoritarianism.

Let’s begin with these basic facts. No matter how many times the luminaries of the anti-liberty left try to gaslight everyone, they are the ones forcing people to wear virus spreader face masks, impose draconian vaccine mandates, set up Nazi pass systems, suppress free speech, censor the press, unconstitutionally confiscate guns, destroy privacy, and put in place secret police administrations all of which are among a growing number of impositions on liberty – typical of authoritarian regimes from around the world down through history, ranging from Nazi Germany to China. Pro-freedom patriots oppose all of those anti-freedom measures, regardless how they are spun as being necessary to save lives or democracy.

2. We have timeless advantages, the anti-liberty left has short-term tactics and tricks.

We of the pro-freedom right can be confident in the fact that we are standing on the shoulders of the original philosophers of true liberal democracy. Thus, this is a prime reason we are differentiating the two sides of the political spectrum; as the pro-freedom right and the anti-liberty left – with the latter being a small segment of that side of the spectrum.

Compare our rock-solid foundation to the shifting quicksand of tyranny that lies beneath the anti-liberty left’s socialist national agenda. While ours is based on liberty, theirs is based on societal slavery. The problem for them is that they have to hide this behind false labels and the projection of their tyrannical desires on us. These tactics only work for a limited time, then people question their integrity and their Potemkin Village falls apart. These are an illusionary advantage in the sense that they have to rely on them. It also means there is a cascade effect in that this makes them take other actions, such as suppressing free speech or the right of self defense. They can’t easily give up lying or cheating in elections because that would be catastrophic for them.

3. While we can be honest, the anti-liberty left has to lie to survive.

Aside from being consistent in labelling, we have nothing to do but state who we are and what we believe. We stand for liberty, limited government and individual civil rights. Stating that the political spectrum is a measure of governmental power means that the pro-freedom right favors liberty over control. This is contrasted with the other end where control is favored over liberty with our old friends, the anti-liberty left.

Plus, it’s important to note that the basic definitions of the various political terms – anarchist, libertarian, conservative, liberal on the right, and socialist, fascist, communist on the left bear out this metric in the political spectrum. Anti-liberty leftists have to incessantly lie about these basic facts to maintain their warped view of the political world – to the point that they tried to define Left and Right as nearly meaningless unless talking about who they want to demonize.

4. We believe in civil liberties and they don’t.

The appeal to a false sense of safety will only go so far for the anti-liberty left. Even now, many are waking up to the danger of letting an unelected elite ruin our lives with virus spreader and vaccine mandates. The fact is that these have done nothing to keep anyone safe. Meanwhile, the ruling oligarchy of the anti-liberty left is still making more demands and decreeing what we can and cannot do. Our default position is the defense of liberty, the anti-liberty left’s position is to destroy it.

It should be evident that our ideology is based on freedom, while the anti-liberty left’s ideology is based on control. It should also be evident that the former is far more popular than the latter. We only have to refer to the fact the enemies of liberty on the authoritarian far-left incessantly cloak themselves in the false label of liberal. While pumping out propaganda screeds that simply try to project their authoritarian tendencies on us when that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, except in the fevered minds of the anti-liberty left.

5. We love the country, the anti-liberty left hates it.

We’re setting this out as a separate reason because it is distinct in that civil rights and liberty are distinguishable from the country. Anti-liberty leftists will on occasion try to claim they are defending freedom or democracy. They of course are lying through their teeth. Nevertheless, they will rarely feign patriotism as they did a few years ago. They’ve dropped many false pretexts and patriotism is one of them.

We on the other hand are proud of our country, warts and all. We know that no one is perfect, but the founding fathers created a unique and special system that is holding up to the left’s unfair assaults and incessant propaganda. We can wave our flag with pride, what can they do? Wave the Blutfahne or a picture of Che Guevara? [read more]

I hope the author is correct.

The other five reasons are:

1. We believe in individual rights, the anti-liberty left believes in collective rights.
2. Economic liberty has always worked, the societal slavery of socialism has never worked.
3. We’re productive in society, anti-liberty leftists are the parasites of society.
4. The Pro-Freedom right outnumbers the anti-liberty left.
5. The authoritarians of the anti-liberty left are forced to use cancel culture to magnify their numbers.
