I don’t understand much about the left, but probably the biggest thing I don’t understand is their appeasement toward terrorists.

Because they are sick effs who want to destroy society but they are cowards and sycophants of bullies. So they worship the terrorist who will do their dirty work.

Hanlon’s razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

I would add, “But don’t rule out malice just because they are stupid.”

As one data point -- there are quite a few short videos on YouTube of women yelling at men for being misogynist. And the man says, "Help me out ... can you define misogynist for me? I don't understand that word." And the woman has no idea.

I think a lot of people are the Left just feel unhappy with what is around them, and they just want it to all go away and be better. That's vague as heck, but I suspect it comes down to alienation and lack of connection with others (social media is a big part of this disconnection).

I think people on the Left wouldn't necessarily pin the blame for their own unease on "western civilization" but they have code words in their head about "the struggle". They blame misogyny, the patriarchy, racism, people who aren't vegan, people who aren't worried about climate change, the Jews, the Rich, and Christianity. Basically, if western civilization were destroyed, maybe things would be better.

The Left wants it all torn down. They see that terrorists want to tear it down. The Left decides that the terrorists are the Good Guys.

None of this comes from deep thinking.

Perhaps you should post lists of people we are allowed to quote and people we are not.

It is simple. The left reverses the arrow of causality. If a group is poor, it cannot be their actions and policies which make them poor. It has to be the result of another group "oppressing" them.

Terrorists lack military power. It is why they are terrorists.

Because they lack military power, in the eyes of the Left, they must be being "oppressed" by another group or group.

Therefore, in the eyes of the left, the terrorists are always the good guys and those fighting them are the bad guys.

Even when the Left is in power and controls the military, police, courts, and all means of production, they still define themselves as the underdogs, and therefore the "good guys".

Notice the CCP and Russia still claim to be the ones under attack.

Dr. Jordan Peterson has said that the most baffling aspect of leftism is the bizarre affinity radical feminists have for radical Islam.

Everything you need to know about the Left is summed up in my tagline.

That is quite strange.

I remember watching "Watter's World" when he would talk with and question young folks on the street. I have no idea how many people he had to go through to find the idiots, but he seemed to be able to find an amazing pile of them..

If the average young person is really that uninformed, God help us.!!

the Left is less a political movement than a neurotic clown collective arrogantly spouting toxic imbecility under the threadbare cloak of intellectual “complexity” to foist its radical, extreme, and dangerous policies upon Americans.

The guy can write.

I understand their disgusting support of tyrants and murderers because they are all tyrants inside, and they almost all support murder in the womb.

In those things, it then becomes a matter of degree and rationalization.

What I was going to say was that I don’t understand their zeal for socialism, until I realized that they all think they will be part of those who will benefit in the stealing of wealth from those who earned it…

That's a fact..! But this holds true in all matters involving the left.. If there's a riot in town, you can bet MOST of those participating are going to be women...

And the craziest of the protester/rioters seem to be women.

I don't have any tattoos, never wanted any tattoos, but if I did, and I could find a body part big enough......well, never-mind..

(“complexity of idiocy” is the bitter fruit of a disordered soul)

Having dealt with this in person I can testify.

It is exhausting.

Maybe they like how the burka stymies the “male gaze.”
