Today in Cloft’s Corner, Dave brings his rapier wit to the subject of property rights and their relationship to personal liberty.
Greetings, readers of the conservative persuasion! Today, we embark on a satirical journey into the fantastical realm of the “Great Reset” and its promises of a world where we will supposedly own nothing and miraculously find eternal happiness. Strap on your wittiest skepticism and prepare for a snark-filled ride!
In this utopian vision, propagated by those self-proclaimed “forward-thinkers,” we are promised a future devoid of personal belongings. Picture it: a society where we joyfully skip through life, unburdened by the weight of possessions. Oh, how our hearts swell with delight at the thought of not having to deal with mortgages, car loans, or even the inconvenience of owning a toothbrush!
But wait, dear readers! Let us take a moment to ponder the implications of this peculiar declaration. Can we truly be happy without the simple joys of ownership? Is there not a certain satisfaction in having a home to call our own, a car to navigate the vast highways of freedom, or even a cherished heirloom to pass down through generations?
Indeed, the very essence of the American West—the spirit of individualism, self-reliance, and personal property—is antithetical to this notion of owning nothing. Our pioneers and settlers didn’t brave harsh frontiers to relinquish their hard-earned possessions and embrace some abstract concept of “happiness.” No, they sought the fulfillment that comes from building a life, raising a family, and yes, accumulating a few prized belongings along the way.
But fear not, dear readers, for in our snark-filled wisdom, we see through the façade of this Great Reset. While they promise happiness, we suspect it may be a happiness akin to floating on a cloud of delusion. Can we truly find contentment in a world where our only possessions are fleeting moments of empty promises?
And let us not forget the absurdity of the notion that those preaching this “Reset” would ever part with their own wealth and possessions. They speak of owning nothing while lounging in their opulent mansions and jet-setting around the globe. It’s as if they’ve reserved a special exemption for themselves, all while selling us the empty dream of a property-less paradise.
So, my fellow conservatives, let us rise above this fanciful notion of owning nothing and being happy. Let us embrace the traditions of the American West, where hard work, personal property, and the pursuit of happiness intertwine. For in the land of opportunity, we understand that true fulfillment lies not in the absence of belongings, but in the freedom to forge our own path, build our dreams, and yes, cherish the tangible treasures we call our own

There’s a name for their vision of our futures: Serfdom. They see the world as the ultimate “hard-mode” way to play an Age of Empires real-time strategy game an fancy themselves new kings.
For folks who rarely seem to believe in God, the left longs to be called “Lord“.
