Ultimately leftism must turn authoritarian. They assume they’re more intelligent, educated, wise, and care more than anyone else - THEREFORE, if those that oppose them won’t listen then they must be FORCED into compliance. It’s for the “greater good”. Then come the gulags.
It never dawns on them that they’re the exact thing they believe they’re against, that maybe, just maybe, it’s THEIR ignorance and foolishness that is why others disagree.
It’s the Dunning Kruger Effect en-masse, justifying the means to an end, by any means necessary.
Exactly.
Every leftist I’ve ever observed or conversed with fits that exact description.... and then some.
