Forcing Extinction - You Are Substandard - The Anti-Individual Left

The unnatural selection of the Progressive's forced Extinction of the Individualist has been their collective long term goal. It is a government enforced anti-Darwinism that has survival of the least fit and less adaptable in its conformist mosh pit as its ultimate order for centrally planned reverse evolution.

Years ago, a Bay Area County employee derisively called me a Rugged Individualist. It was meant as the worst insult he could hurl on me without profanity. I still count it as high praise indeed! m/r

That doesn’t matter because the government does want those things on your plan.

It sounds creepily coercive, and it hints at a knotty dilemma that’s faced progressive thinkers since the dawn of their movement in the 1870s. What happens when, in implementing one of your collectivist schemes, something backfires, some unintended consequence surfaces, and individuals get hurt? …
