Experiencing an erection of collectivism lasting 4 hours? Stop watching MSNBCJon Rappoport Melissa Harris-Perry, a university professor and weekend host at MSNBC shares the wisdom: We have never invested as much in public education as we should have, because weve always had a kind of private notion of childrenyour kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We havent had a very collective notion of these are our children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once its everybodys responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments. How many ways to take this hogwash apart? A kind of private notion of children. Yes, how primitive. I mean, only bitter clingers would ascribe to this ancient concept, right? Such parents need re-education, they need to move into the modern age and embrace many mothers and fathers, including I suppose, Melissa Harris-Perry herself, although Im sure her schedule is already overcrowded. But perhaps shes good for a nod and a wink between violin practice and soccer games where nobody wins. Then, precisely what community should own your kids? Your block, neighborhood, town, city, nation? People you know? People you dont know and never will? A coalition? Perhapsthe government? Ah yes, that would would be it, wouldnt it? Therefore, all you whacko parents out there; stop thinking your children belong to you. Youre wrong. Hillary Clinton knew this. Thats why she wrote It Takes a Village, another collectivist manifesto. Except her community happens to be nannies, the Secret Service, the State Department, the Senate, and the White House. Since Melissa Harris-Perry is discussing public education, you can be sure the collective solution to your kids will involve more vaccines, more psychiatric appointments, more diagnoses of fictitious mental disorders, and more doling out of highly toxic and violence-inducing drugs. More sex-ed at age five and six, since you parents dont have a clue about sex and shouldnt be allowed to approach it. More instruction about sharing as the basis of all knowledge. Essentially, a collective is a group of people teaching others about the primacy of the group. Its a madhouse from start to finish. It takes the principle of the inviolate individual and burns it to the ground. It attacks the family precisely because the family resists the collective in any society where a few shreds of freedom remain. The family is a potentially dangerous source of decentralized power. Harris-Perry is really advocating the sacrifice of your children to the wider problem of all children. Dont raise your kids according to your own best principles. No. Give them over to the wiser ones. Lets all do that. Her solution also, of course, involves an enormous shift of responsibility. Parents can unload that burden. The community will shoulder it. I cant wait. This is the strategy of regression to the lowest common denominator. Since there are truly horrible parents out there who cant handle family life, lets all give up the primary job of raising children in order to save those parents who are abject failures. Behind this is the program to destroy families and elevate the State. Make no mistake about it. Its an op from the ground up, and always has been. Just as state and county and city governments have been targets for the federal government, so is the family. The idea is to overwhelm all opposition to federal power. Under the mask, that is the naked face of the collective: everybody organized under central dominion. Going still further, we enter the Globalist plan. Institute a world collective, in which every citizen is directly beholden to Earths princes and their bureaucrats, for the good of all. Its a stage-magic trick. Erase the individual and all he stands for. He was hereand then, poof, hes gone. A mere trace of a memory remains. If Melissa Harris-Perry wanted to talk about family, youd think she would have stressed the greater responsibility of a mother and father. At home. She would have talked about alcoholic parents, inattention toward kids, the need to take home life very seriously. But instead, she went the other way. She didnt even offer a tip of the hat to churches, neighbors, clubs, cousins, uncles, grandparentsthose people who do, in fact, form communities. Not grist for her mill. No, because shes talking about money. Spending more money on public education. And for that, you need myth and fairy tale. You need the disastrous construct of a public institution that will carry the job of bringing up children. As if that were possible. Perry rejects Private in favor of Government, which is her bread and butter. Public policy. Abstractions seeking a New World. Much in the same way, Obama endlessly mouths, Were all in this together. The this turns to be the surrender of fierce freedom and independence. I would like to see millions more parents deliver the correct response to Perry. Home schooling. That would solve it. That would deliver a profound message: Babble on as long as you want to about pie-in-the-sky communities; try to melt the citizenry down into one giant glob of goo; fake your way into legends of better and more expensive schools replacing parents. Its for nothing. People know youre a hyping con artist. People know that families and good education begin with real parents and cant succeed without them. The new collective spirit is very old. As old as the hills. College kids who know as much history as caterpillars out for a stroll after the rain are buying this lunacy, but when they leave the friendly confines of school, theyll discover the only place they can find a job is with the government. And that tells us something about who will swell the ranks of the collective. Those who have been rendered disabled by education. This is the public department Perry wants to improve. To spread it, you only need one college with one cheap four-year class: the students sit in front of their laptops and phones and watch MSNBC 24/7. To those students whose breath can still fog a mirror, you offer a piece of paper after four years. The paper tells them theyve matriculated, and they can now be reborn as mosquito drones and launch out into the atmosphere of big government and find a communal nest. O wonder of wonders.
