Part I of Themes In Leftism discusses the Left’s obsession with fairness. And as we all know- there’s no such thing as fairness.
This post will discuss another theme of Leftism. I like to call this theme the eradication of consequence. Much debate, policy, and solutions on the Left focus on eliminating unwanted outcomes. Consider the many current issues where Liberals are trying to eliminate the outcome they created. They put themselves in situations that they don’t like and then want policy to bail them out.
Abortion
Nearly all pregnancies are the result of a man and woman’s actions and decisions. The Left is freaking out because they feel they should not have to live with the consequences of their actions. They feel they should be able to behave how they want without consequence.
College Debt
See the theme yet? The Left is stoking the “cancel college debt” narrative. How crazy it is to expect adults to fulfill contracts they signed! Again- they want to erase any unwanted consequence brought along by their own doing. Accountability is their enemy.
Police Brutality
Ever wonder why the Left never talks about the first few minutes of video footage? They want us to ignore the victim’s attempt to resist arrest in the worst way imaginable. They feel the victim should be able to radically resist arrest and wreak havoc without increasing their chance of unwanted outcomes. George Floyd was an exception to this.
Minimum Wage
The Left wants humanity to defy science and evolutionary biology by mandating those who settle at the bottom of the socio-dominance hierarchy make more money. Because those in the species who exist at the bottom of the heorarchy shouldn’t have to live like they are at the bottom of the hierarchy. Duh.

The eradication of consequence!
What other ways does the Left avoid accountability and consequence?
What are other themes of Leftism?
Riyan
This is exactly right. And the horrible decline witnessed in Blue cities is a direct result of this denial of reality and the law of unintended consequences.
