What Woke Intellectuals Get Wrong | Thomas Sowell

The liberal mindset is all about views. They have this view of this, this view of that, but they never admit that their “views” are mostly pies in the sky, or when implemented, are catastrophic failures such as bail reform.

An old-time former friend of mine, unfortunately he passed away recently at a young age, was a true liberal. I remember visiting his house one day and noticing that all ornaments (in the entire house) were missing. None of the nick-nacks which people usually place on tables were present. No vases, no picture frames… no ornaments of any kind. No flowers, no potted plants; nothing, just furniture to sit on and a couple of tables with nothing on them. The house looked sterile. I asked him what happened to his “stuff”, and he replied that he and his wife stored it all away so their toddlers, a boy and girl about 1 1/2 and 3 years-old respectively, wouldn’t grab them. 

This is the typical (illogical) mindset of liberals. They never once stopped to think that it would be better to discipline their children and teach them to only play with their toys. This way, when they visited other people’s houses who actually had “stuff” on display, they would know better and not touch any of it.

In other words, discipline, restraint, control, regulation, punishment, etc. are non-existent terms in the liberal vocabulary and therefore are never carried out in real life. This is why they don’t deal with crime or homelessness as they should and why the cities and states they run are rampant with theft, murder, car jackings, drug-addicted vagrants, etc.
