How a Breakdown in Liberal Ideology Created Trump
libertyblitzkrieg | My typical writing style consists of taking a particular topic or
train of thought and bringing it to some sort of conclusion within a
single relatively short post. Today’s topic is simply too expansive for
that model, so it’ll be published in at least two parts.
This post needs to be read in the context of my last two posts. If
you haven’t read those, you’ll probably have a difficult time fully
grasping everything I discuss below. Here are those pieces in case you
missed them the first time.
Once again, today’s article will focus on the writings of Ken Wilber.
I’ve been completely blown away by the fact that his insight into a
evolutionary model of human consciousness called Spiral Dynamics, almost
perfectly expresses how I feel about things despite never having
come into contact with the model previously. As most of you know,
I view Trump as a symptom of a diseased societal, political and
economic paradigm, as opposed to the disease itself. Trump was a
reaction, and the way the Democrats handled the primary was the final
nail in the coffin in sealing his victory. People became so fed up with
the insanity of the fake left, many of those who didn’t even like Trump
decided to roll the dice with him anyway.
Ken Wilber’s recent free e-book, Trump and a Post-Truth World,
takes it much further in a thoroughly enlightening manner through the
prism of evolutionary consciousness. In fact, he makes it clear that the
election of someone like Trump was a long time coming and, in fact, the
culmination of a decades-long process of “liberal” ideology
gone completely off the deep-end.
