25 Reasons Today’s Left Has Become A Bunch Of Ideological Extremists
thefederalist ^ | 11/25/2019 | Joseph Backholm

Several weeks ago, progressive writer John Pavlovitz wrote an article objecting to the idea that he is part of the “radical left.” He doesn’t think he’s radical at all. In fact, he prefers to see himself as part of what he calls the “human middle.”

He writes, “I’m pretty sure that most people reside here in this place alongside me: the desire for compassion and diversity and equality and justice; that these things aren’t fringe ideologies or extremist positions — but simply the best way to be human."

“They went from ‘believe women’ to saying any woman who doesn’t want to share a shower with a man who says he’s a woman is a bigot. Then they went back to ‘believe women’ when they thought it would help them oust a Supreme Court nominee they didn’t like.”

This stands out among 24 other awful things they’ve done. Such hypocrites!

They are nuts because they are playing into the hands of the neo-feudalists who themselves have played into the hands of the Chinese Communists.

Bottom line: The tech industry needs to understand that it is terrible at running things and should get back to what it excels at, discovering things. They need to get back to their first principles.

The hard-core Left will get put back in a box once the money gets cut off.

Saying you’re a “centrist” is another way of saying you’re always right.

Ideological extremists, radical left = follow the money, the tsunami of unconstitutional federal taxes, stolen state revenues, that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)

...the desire for compassion and diversity and equality and justice...

Antithetical concepts - "justice" means people getting what they deserve, and the Left universally wants government to intercede to to stop justice from happening.

An apple tree is an apple tree. It cannot become a grape vine.

While true this may not be the best analogy simply because they are grafting plants together making new hybrids. If science did this with people they would be creating a new hybrid species that is neither male nor female. I have no idea what it would be; just that I want no part of it. Unnatural and unwanted.

the desire for compassion and diversity and equality and justice

All vague abstractions. How "compassionate" is it to steal money from one person to give to another? How does "diversity" benefit anyone if it empowers a new caste of slave masters? Who gets to define and enforce "equality"? And where is the justice in ignoring the crimes of certain groups and exaggerating those of others?

Let's cut the fake virtue posturing and just face the fact that liberals hide behind a screen of humanitarianism while in fact being the most misanthropic, murderous, hate-filled rabble since Genghis Khan.

Quite a list. You’ll note Leftists get angry (even violent) when this is pointed out, especially publicly.

If you think about it the ass is where the human middle is clearly obvious with a crack splitting it right in two.
