I'm for baseball

After a winding discussion involving soccer, imperialism, temper tantrums, and the Suez canal, No Pasaran pegs both the nanny state and the professional whiners:

...it’s called the leftist world view... that stages ‘programme seasons’ for specific social issues dear to a few activist types to engage in social engineering, and the endless supply of social epedemics that change weekly. It’s the one that nannies itself to death on the operating assumption that people are too stupid and immoral to think for themselves, or at least to think the way he’d like you to.

It’s all evidence of what therapists call the “power under” position in an abusive family relationship, and it’s created by learned helplessness. In this case that helplessness is with a oppressive culture so concerned about guiding if not controlling every little thing in your life that it tells you how to sort your trash, how to talk to your neighbors, and convince one the person one should feel the greatest guilt over everything from methane emissions to feelings of pre-sexualized 4-year-olds who may or may not be gay.

It’s quite clear who’s oppressed, and made stupid in the course of it.
