Progressive Intellectual Powerhouse Lena Dunham Answers Greg Gutfeld's Joy of Hate With Joy of Haute.·

By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com , PoliticalXray.Com . 
March 12, 2013--

            The Progressive Left's intellectual powerhouse, Lena Dunham, answers the Libertarian Greg Gutfeld's "Joy of Hate" with a Progressive Dissertation titled, "The Joy of Haute."    Progressive leaders know that hauteness is everything because LIV's derive their sense of "coolness" from their identifying with those they perceive as having "hauteness" -- even though it's a word they don't even know as a description of what they crave and what makes them idolize celebrity as the equivalent of (indeed, superior to) accomplishment as a source for social acceptance.  Recognizing that most LIV's never quite outgrew the adolescent craving for social acceptance by being perceived as "cool" (their way of understanding "haute"), celebrities tout their progressive hauteness to enable LIV's to vicariously achieve a sense of "coolness" by identifying with such celebrities.  Just as adolescent cliquishness spawns "hate" towards those outside the "clique," political cliquishness among adult adolescents (LIVs) not only gives them comfort in perceiving themselves as being within the "cool" clique but also gives them an important sense of "accomplishment" in expressing, or directing, their disapproval of the "uncool" people outside the "clique" in which LIVs crave membership.  Thus, Progressives must identify all such people as "uncool" or un-haute people not worthy of being taken seriously by LIVs.  Of course, the "uncool" people (the "squares") they disdain in a groupthink manner are the WIVs (Well-Informed Voters).

               Greg Gutfeld's having recognized such phenomenon (despite having been educated to be a progressive liberal) is part of what led him to write the book, "The Joy of Hate," in which he explains how the craving for social acceptance spawns groupthink behavior by the cravers who derive important self-satisfaction in directing intolerant disapproval (if not outright hatred) towards those with views different from those held within the socially-accepted political cliques.   Gutfeld summarizes his political journey in this way (I paraphrase):  "Hanging around liberals made me conservative, and hanging around conservatives made me more libertarian."   Gutfeld's book, his commentaries, and his lightening-fast mind in being able to so effectively mock the mockers "on the battlefield of" or "in the arena of" popular culture has made him a threat to Progressive Thought.  Thus, the Left has sensed a need to demonize and discredit him.  On a level playing field, it wouldn't be a fair fight because Gutfeld would be dueling the intellectually unarmed, but the Left's virtual headlock on the dominant news/entertainment media (indeed, for most LIVs, the entertainment media IS their "news" media and the celebritocracy IS their punditocracy.  So, it remains to be seen the extent to which Gutfeld's wit and insights will make inroads into the pop-culture view of issues involving politics, economics, liberty and national security currently dominated in the minds of LIVs entirely by the Progressive Left.  Post-Script:   Has Lena Dunham actually authored a book titled "The Joy of Haute"?  Not yet, but this satirical/parodic suggestion that she has done so serves to illustrate why and how the Reality-Based Libertarianism (my term) championed by Gutfeld represents a potentially serious threat to the Progressive Left's current headlock on the minds of LIVs who may have libertarian instincts but thus far lack a meaningful base of knowledge to understand the anti-libertarian, utopian brand of totalitarianism masquerading as Progressive Liberalism today and also lack the quick-witted insights on the subject that readily flow from Gutfeld's verbal and written expressions of political thought and analysis.   And who could forget her intellectual tour de force in the campaign video she made during Campaign 2012 to give LIVs intellectual ammunition for voting for Obama in their "first time" as voters:  .
