I’m having a hard time understanding two things from the Left:

There was a psychological study I remember from college, (scrubbed from the internet). If I remember right the options were either share the prize 50/50 with someone else or destroy it so no one could have it. A large percentage of participants chose to destroy it rather than share. (get part of what they wanted)

A conservative understands the nature of man. Man is evil.

From Tocqueville...

“There is, in fact, a manly and lawful passion for equality which excites men to wish all to be powerful and honored. This passion tends to elevate the humble to the rank of the great; but there exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.”
