4 Steps In the Fallacy of Income Equality

The truth and morality of 'equality of outcome' economics as narrated by Piketty and his shills in politics and media is a good example of gaslighting. It is fueled by 'truth by concensus'

Margaret Thatcher's last House of Commons Speech on November 22, 1990.

UPDATE: An article on the site on the Ayn Rand Institute is explaining the Piketty type fallacy:

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders complaining about economic inequality in America: 

There is something profoundly wrong when in recent years we have seen a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires yet the average American is working longer hours for lower wages and we have shamefully the highest rate of child poverty of any major country on earth. 

A question for the socialist senator from Vermont: would he prefer that that there was no proliferation of millionaires and billionaires, and that all Americans were equally mired in poverty? If not, then let’s stop talking about poverty as if it were an inequality problem. 

Sanders is employing one of the most popular gimmicks inequality alarmists use to get Americans fired up about income disparities: he is conflating hardship and comparative differences. Here’s how it works: 

Step 1: Point to people facing a genuine hardship, like poverty. 

Step 2: Point to people who are enjoying above-average success. 

Step 3: Imply that the problem is the gap between the two, not the hardship itself. (Bonus points if you can suggest that the one group’s success is the cause of the other group’s hardship.) 

Step 4: Advocate closing the gap by bringing down the high fliers. 

Whenever you see this sort of argument, you can be sure that the goal of the speaker is not to end the hardship, but to smash the successful. An analogy might help. Imagine two people are thrown into a lake: a kid who can’t swim and Michael Phelps. What would you make of someone who said, “There is something profoundly wrong when we’ve seen a child drown while an Olympic gold medalist easily swims to the shore”? Take Phelps out of the picture, and the kid is still drowning. The only reason to mention Phelps is if your goal is not to help the kid, but to smear the athlete. So it is for the inequality alarmists. They don’t want to guide everyone to dry land. They want to drown the best swimmers. (source)

Destabilization of the Middle East Began With Arab Spring

Libya, the country led by the eccentric leader Ghadaffi, which was 'liberated' by a Western coalition, is now officially a failed state. Egypt has started raids on the country after terrorists of the Islamic State beheaded 21 Coptic Christians. The West is refusing to intervene. 



Sep 15, 2011 European leaders are given a hero's welcome by Libyan rebels.

UPDATE: Let's remind ourselves of the state of mind of Western leaders just a few years ago, a.k.a. the Arab Spring. With that foreign policy went a doctrine that supported the Muslim Brotherhood as the "democratic, secular and peaceful" alternative to radicals like Al Qaeda. The result are the failed states of Libya and Syria and the most genocidal, evil terror group since Genghis Khan: the Islamic State. But that's no problem, because according to postmodern philosophy morality is group subjective. According to multiculturalism every culture is equally valid, therefore the Caliphate has a right to its own state. It's the biggest foreign policy blunder since the Second World War. We now know Obama knowingly armed Syrian rebels against Assad (from Libyan weapons caches in Benghazi), who later turned on Iraq, the Kurds and basically anyone who isn't a Sunni Wahhabi. Obama is justifying this by the notion that it is possible to separate radicals from moderates. But moderates consist of various factions close to the Muslim Brotherhood. (FSA file) The people who fought wars to prevent the genocide of Muslims, have abandoned Christians and Yezidis to their fate, because Christian is choice while Muslim is race. Read the following logs on the file of the Caliphate Conspiracy. It's all but forgotten, but these leaders have a lot to answer for.

• "A New Middle East With Space For the Caliphate"
• "Endgame in Syria: Iran Versus Turkey"
• "Obama Armed Rebels, Aware of the Dangers for Iraq"
