Boy-Girl Theory and Liberalism

This idea of the Boy-Girl Theory comes from Robert Ringer's book Winning Through Intimidation.  What is the Boy-Girl Theory?  Ringer relates it to the games people play in courtship, viz: boy wants girl and comes on too strong---girl doesn't want boy.  But if boy acts cool, girl wants boy.  What it boils down to is this: people want the thing that they think they can't have.  So boy acts cool and the girl wants him, and vice versa.

What does that have to do with liberalism?  Well, I got to thinking about it and have posted here several times my opinion that liberals seem to be interested in only things that can never work.  If it works, they don't like it.  If it doesn't work, and could never work, liberals love it.  I connected the two dots.  Liberals want what they want because they know it can't work and that's why they want it.  It's the old boy-girl game that Ringer was talking about.

It's that or it's the Death Cult.  They want to die and take everyone with them.  Like Reverend Jim Jones and his death cult in Guyana.  Maybe in its more virulent form, liberalism is a Death Cult.  In a more benign form, it is only the boy-girl game.  Whatever the case may be, liberals must know that their ideas can't work, but that's why they want them.  When others try to confront them with their pathology, they can act out in destructive ways.

Yes, and they project.  It's not Them.  It's YOU.

You don't get any problem-solving with them because solving problems is not what it's about with these folk.  It's about belief.  If only they can get everybody to believe with them and do what they say, the world will become a utopia.  Utopias can only exist in the imagination.  They aren't real and can never be.

If you disagree, you are against them and you are evil.  There can be no rational discussion when you discuss faith.  You believe and are part of the group, or you don't and you are a cast-out.

But merely believing a thing to be so doesn't make it so.  The process of reasoning can determine the truth or falsity of something.  But maybe not in all things.  Truth is a slippery thing.

Humans are susceptible to this because of the need to believe in something which can explain that which cannot be explained otherwise.

It's not an easy problem to solve.  Likely as not, it will show itself in all societies in some form or another at some point in time.  We may be in such a time now in this country.
