“The fact that leftist ideology denies the existence of absolute truth is not a fact because I say it is. Its truth is separate and independent from me.”
This is where you get it wrong. There are some leftists who absolutely believe communism is better than capitalism, and think absolutely that guard towers beat open borders.
There are rightists who deny absolute truth.
I am not aware that autopsies of brains of leftists and rightists are significantly different. Sometimes people just believe different things and you are better off to try to understand them as people just like you. That way, you can change their thinking.
parsy, who is cussing his ISP for flakiness!
Intellectual and moral relativism—which is defined as a rejection of absolute truth and morality—is central to and inextricable from leftist thinking.
Of course leftists proceed as though they have access to truth, just as the python spends most of his existence pretending to be a tree branch.
But leftists also reject, as a fundamental part of their ideology, the notion of accountability (this is really part of moral relativism). So they have no problem denying truth from one side of their mouth while laying claim to it from the other. (You should know about this—you do it all the time in your altruistically motivated posts against the eligibility argument.)
But my point is that the serpent will never be a tree. He neither takes root nor gathers sunlight in high branches. He will never know the permanence and security of solid ground nor will he ever enjoy the ultimate warmth and light shining down upon his boughs.
