Some Dr. Thomas Sowell food today:
To believe in personal responsibility would be to destroy the whole special role of the anointed, whose vision casts them in the role of rescuers of people treated unfairly by ‘society.’ – Thomas Sowell
I am not sure my words can improve on Dr. Sowell’s prescription. The reason Progressives depreciate personal responsibility is if everyone in society took responsibility for their actions there would be no need for the Progressives to fix things. What is more important? A well-ordered society where everyone does well because they own their actions or a society in which everyone else blames everyone else for what goes wrong, and everything unravels as a result?
For Thomas Sowell’s anointed the latter is preferable. “Fixing” things (or at least telling themselves they are fixing things) allows them to feel special and superior. To them, nothing is more important than getting that rush. It is an addiction.
