What's your opinion on the standard becoming too high professionally as a factor in the Cultural War? Too many people may subconsciously feel they aren't good enough to live up to expectations, so they decide it's better to burn it down than to face the huge possibility of failure. Could this be the case?

Hard to say personally I've never felt like that.
Many of my friends are not professionals and that thinking never enters their heads.
There being 2 types of expectations... 1/ Your own and 2/ Those of others.
I try to not let either bother me too much.

I don't know whether standards have become too high, but I agree with the idea that an obsession with reform and revolution is often common among individuals — from Napoleon to Antifa nerds — plagued with feelings of inferiority.

One common thread shot through much progressive thinking is resentment and anger over the success, wealth and influence of others. Affluence is falsely equated with the oppression and influence is seen as privilege. Hard work, sacrifice and discipline are discounted by woke-progressives, who — without evidence — attribute success to factors like race, sex, or privilege.

Its not unusual that many who lack confidence and self-esteem default to the fleeting rush of power that accompanies outrage and anger. There is a certain security that some progressives derive in yelling slogans and throwing projectiles from the secure confines of the mob. Look Mom, I finally made a team!

I think the primary standards people react to are those they set for themselves. When they are realistic, you get ambitious, responsible adults. When they are not realistic, you get children acting out.

Now, that is probably too broad a brush to paint with in the latter case, but I think it more accurately describes the current culture - lots of people have set their own expectations unrealistically. They've created their own expectation strawmen....

I think that it is more the case of them setting expectations without accepting the burden of work that it would take to reach them, thus leading them to complain over the outcome that their laziness has destined.

Good one Alfredo. That has been the problem with human nature all along. Many of us are not willing to strive for success or even happiness, and feel that someone else should provide those things. That is the basis for enslaving as many people as possible. Drug lords, power-hungry politicians who want to enslave their gullible utopian base of voters, and very wealthy leftists are all among those willing to manipulate and control everyone else, and destroy anyone who gets in the way.

Only tyrannical government can control that nature, and only until the leadership is corrupted.

Most of us just want to live our lives as best we can and can only shake our heads at the destructiveness of those infantile temper-tantrum throwers, and manipulative power mad leftists. Its easy to try to not care so we don't feel so badly about all of this. We need to find our resolve.

Constitutional Republicanism is the only governance invented in human history that can provide protection of the rights of individuals against the government itself, corruption of the government, and from those willing to violate the rights of others.

They (the mob) would burn it down regardless - that's why they have created and implemented a "purity test" that NO human being could ever pass. Who among us is pure? "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" This is why great thinkers have always known and always said that the Left is a serpent eating its own tail. That metaphor is apt - we are seeing the left now "eating its own"...JK Rowling comes to mind.

Not for me, I guess I'm too used to failing to care. For me burning everything down is more a, "I don't have everything I want, so fuck everyone and everyone can have nothing." Who knows, I like fires, but not the societally or personally destructive kind.

just curious - what "fires" do you like and why do you like them.

@iThink the kind I set in my yard or at a campground and keep very tight control over.
