They assume that everyone who staunchly disagrees with them is motivated by mental illness or hate.
This allows them to dismiss any disagreement as irrational as well as smear the dissenter as crazy. “I don’t have to listen to it - he’s not rational in his reasons!”
Conversely, they assume all evil is due to:
A. ignorance (not taught or not taught right)
B. stupidity (no smart person will not fail to follow our rules, ditto that people who don’t convert to liberalism can be written off as stupid)
They cannot comprehend that alternative political views or evil can be a rational, intelligent disregard of societal rules.
The tragedy of that inability to admit that intelligent, logical people can choose to commit violent, immoral acts per a methodical plan is that they can’t cope with it. They then have to have a hundred excuses from poverty to ignorance to mental illness to explain what is none of the above.
The second half of the tragedy is that because liberalism has denied the existence of logical, intelligent counter-views, they conflate the small group of psychopaths and sociopaths with people who don’t share their views of the moment on a hundred topics.
If all evil is due to mental illness/ignorance/stupidity as is all dissenting views, of course those with opposing views can be lumped in with the truly evil.
That was fantastic. I had to read it twice more to grasp it all, but what a dissection and destruction of their way of life.
