Power mongers assume power is truth, knowledge and justice. Strife leads to that assumption. Strife puts winners at the top and losers at the bottom. Since there is a process to that result, the process supposedly selects for the fittest; and how else would the fittest be defined besides truth, knowledge and justice?

Their primary error is to assume that it takes truth, knowledge and justice to win at strife. It takes domination to win at strife. But domination is too abstract, invisible and background to be evaluated. More visible is superficial contesting to be winners. Contesting to be winners is translated into truth, knowledge and justice.

To clarify, compare superficial contesting to real truth, knowledge and justice. Superficial contesting is setting up simple tests. Most common is word blather. He who can be the most imposing with blather is the winner. It has a lot to do with personality types. Some persons like to be imposing; and others do not. Guess which are the winners.

That means the essence of truth, knowledge and justice is found elsewhere. It's were problems are being solved. It takes truth, knowledge and justice to solve problems.

In solving problems, there are difficult requirements and results can never be perfect. First and foremost is contact with objective reality. The laws of the universe are the basis for objective reality. They are complex, which places demands upon knowledge.

Getting aligned upon objective reality is not the easiest thing to do. So why do so? Because problems are unacceptable to some persons. What persons? The lower classes. Constructivity comes out of the lower classes—always has.

The modern social order took form after WW-II, as persons who came out of the depression of the 1930s and the war were determined to solve problems. They created technology and social structures for the purpose of solving problems. Then incompetent power mongers moved into the social structures and converted them into power structures for their personal gain at everyone else's expense.

That's where truth and justice enter the equation. It takes a lot of truth and justice to align efforts on problem-solving activities, while power mongers are trying to misuse the results for corrupt motives.

Progressives are trying to use technology and social structures to solve problems. Liberalism got aligned on that purpose, as modern media created formats for arguing issues. Of course a lot of diverging views also exist. But real problem-solving is demanding and requires highly visible alignment upon the objective realities.

"On par with coal" and "carbon free" technology are mockeries of rationality. Real scientists who tried to explain the errors were shoved out and no criticism was allowed, as the social order was railroaded into wanton waste, fraud and abuse to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Why is that process called liberalism? Because environmentalism was hijacked for the purpose and overwhelmed by power mongers.
