Libs don’t want to take responsibility for themselves,
and they are innately ashamed of that.
So, instead of bucking up and showing some character,
they’d rather everyone else was brought down to their level of dependency.
It also has to do with the collective - if you’re capable of defending yourself, you’re not as reliant on the collective, and therefore are weakening it.
Thirdly, if you’re able to defend yourself against criminals,
you’re able to defend yourself against an oppressive state
that is “only out for your own good”.
Your post nails leftist “thinking”.
