Gravity is a Social Construct

Once upon a time there was a group of highly enlightened ones who discovered gravity was merely a social construct. They knew in their hearts if people just understood the truth, they could fly.

One day they took over society and began to re-educate the people. They took them atop a tall building and gestured over the edge. “Gravity is a social construct. It’s not real. Mind over matter.”

They chanted heroic slogans until someone nodded. “I believe,” he said. Then he leaped off the building.

The leaders looked down at his broken body spattered on the sidewalk. “He just didn’t do it right. Who’s next?” The others were reluctant, so the leaders grabbed a woman at random. As they threw her off the roof they cried, “Flap your arms! Gravity’s not real!”

She also lacked the proper class consciousness. But the leaders knew gravity was nothing more than a social construct. They persisted, re-educating their reluctant followers and having them jump (or be thrown) off the roof. Later they tried other buildings, cliffs, even constructed purpose-built towers, but there was no place that could “do it right.” Thousands of their followers, then millions, then tens and finally hundreds of millions died. All the while the leaders repeated, “You’re just not doing it right!”

Marxism in the Twentieth Century has killed a quarter billion people, and destroyed the economies of every country that practiced it, but Progressives keep repeating, “they just didn’t do it right.” And Socialism (Communism Lite) doesn’t work either. It’s just less destructive. Marxism in any form has never worked in any nation, culture, or situation in which it’s been tried.

Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.” The next time some mind-numbed Progressive cultist tells you, “But that wasn’t real communism. They didn’t do it right,” tell him this story.

For a complete examination of this topic read my Conservatives are from Mars and Progressives are from Venus...at least until Amazon and Smashwords take it down because it’s “hate speech.”
