Les Miserables

I don’t know about you, but I am not into the equal sharing of misery, which is the end state of “social justice,” and determined by leftists.

EXCERPT:

The English translation of Les Miserables is “the miserable ones,” my sentiment exactly. However, the French translation is “the disenfranchised.” As I read about the plot of the production (Hugh Jackman will always be Wolverine to me), the theme was about “social justice,” aka “equity,” aka “equality of outcomes.”

Needless to say, after three hours of this show, I left miserable, but hey, Angela was happy. But, I am glad that she forced me to go to this show because it hit me . . . the progressive socialist leftists in America are indeed Les Miserables.

I mean, everything about them is miserable unless they are having their way imposing their ideological agenda upon everyone else. Look, if you do not want a firearm, do not get one, but do not tell me that I cannot have one. If you want to eat bugs, fake meat burgers, and arugula, knock yourself out. I will have my occasional Five Guys burger, brisket or a nice grilled salmon with sauteed spinach when I want. And I will continue to rise six times a week for a nice 3-5 mile run and Army grass drill workout of push-ups and crunches. If leftists want to drive an electric vehicle, fine. I do not want to, as I enjoy my Jeep Wrangler Gladiator.

Sir Winston Churchill aptly described leftists and socialism in this way. “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

I don’t know about you, but I am not into the equal sharing of misery, which is the end state of “social justice,” which is determined by leftists.
