Not even. I’ve seen Leftists get attacked/mugged and state that they deserved it due to their white privilege.
I certainly didn’t mean that as a blanket statement. I only meant both Horowitz and Gabbard as rare examples of Leftists who climbed out of Leftism due to trauma of some sort. (In Horowitz’s case, he had to face the fact his employers murdered a co-worker of his when he worked for the Black Panthers.)
But the vast majority of Leftists don’t.
Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago” talks of Soviet citizens imprisoned in the Gulag, put there by Stalin, who cried tears of grief when he died. And he put them there.
You are correct in that respect. There are many Leftists who will defend Leftism to their last breath, even if that last breath is taken from them by the people they defend.
It is a sickness.
