There are two types of people in the world – those who believe that there are only two types of people in the world and ... well you get the point. However, if the online CIA fact-book is to be believed, there are over 6 billion people in the world, and if we assume that each person is unique, then there are over 6 billion types of people in the world. That equates to over 6 billion unique perspectives on life – a lifetime of learning from others.
However, there is a breed of human who is impervious to alternative perspectives. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the Moonbat. The philosophical perspective of the Moonbat can be broken down into separate psychological and philosophical components.
(1) Monomania
(2) Logical positivism
Let me illustrate by example. Imagine a Moonbat initiates a conversation with you.
The first trait that will be exhibited is the psychological trait, which reveals the underlying monomania. This kind of liberal will make a wildly stupid rhetorical statement e.g. countries the size of Wales are responsible for all the world’s problems. This is their monomania, but they don’t realise that this perspective is an a priori assumption.
Then, in order to articulate their position, they switch to logical positivism. They start to quote all kinds of facts and figures at you. The purpose of this data is not to clarify their position. The purpose of this data is to prevent you from responding.
This double whammy of rhetoric followed by dialectic leaves most of us open mouthed in astonishment.
e.g.
“Countries the size of Wales” are responsible for all the world’s problems. Over 232 bombs were dropped on the Anglesey freedom fighters in the last conflict, and over 600 civilians were killed. The English should stop supporting the Welsh.
You might want to respond with the following:
- The Anglesey freedom fighters have the total annihilation of Wales written into their charter.
- The Anglesey freedom fighters are supplied with weapons from anti-Celtic sympathisers.
- The Anglesey freedom fighters teach their children to hate the Welsh and poison their sheep.
However, the sheer audacity and hubris of the Moonbat takes your breath away. It’s like listening to someone with a broken brain. Only a razor-sharp wit like Ann Coulter’s could respond in time. But for you it is too late. The Moonbat grins that sickly one-dimensional grin ... it never, ever occurs to the Moonbat that there are another 5,999,999,999 people in the world with different perspectives.
The Moonbat flys off, and you want to shout out "but can't you see you are wrong?"
But the Moonbat sees nothing, and flys off into the night. Bitterly disappointing.
