Types
Mediocrity is both caused and promoted by liberals. In ways such as socialism and pragmatism and many others.
Socialism
Under a socialist economy, the government would control businesses, and would not be required to please their customers. Unlike in capitalism which innovates to please its customers. [1]
Pragmatism
Most breakthroughs were first perceived to be impossible. Too often, people come to imaginary limits that prevent people from greatness. One people look beyond the logical approach they can discover a more unorthodox approach. [2]
Settling
When one's dreams feel out of reach, they may be lured into settling. Settling for the world as it is instead of shaping it to one's vision one of the biggest causes of unfulfilled potential. [3]
Fear
Fear has been the primary reason for mediocrity for many people. [4] This includes fear of change, fear of failure, fear of what others will say or even fear of success, fear is undoubtedly the number one thing that holds people back from going after their goals. [5]
Particaption Trophies
Liberals have also endorsed mediocrity by promoting the idea that everyone deserves a trophy. Trophies should be for working hard and winning. [6] When trophies are handed out to everyone who participates, they diminish in value, thus the truly exceptional players are snubbed. [7] As LA Galaxy soccer star Cobi Jones states "Showing up and participating is important. Trying your best is important. But neither deserves a trophy. If you want one of those, go win something." [8]
Conservative Reaction
As Greg Gutfeld points out “all success in life is based on conservative principles” and “if liberals applied their no-score, no-winner, no-loser belief systems to their hobbies or professions, they would fail miserably.” [9] Even Great Conservative Film; The Incredibles acknowledges this problem of mediocrity as Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible states “It's psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity, but if someone is genuinely exceptional..." [10] As the film is about the superhero family forced into mediocrity.
