Why Leftists Hate You

“Well, I don’t care if he’s a Liberal or an ax murderer, I want you two boys to stay clear of him, understood? – Eerie, Indiana

I hear that Greta loves this blog – she knows most of my jokes are recycled.

“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone.  To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’ – this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.” – Aldous Huxley

Regardless of whether or not you like Huxley, he certainly hit the mark with this comment.  This has certainly been the case with the reaction of the “vaxxed” crowd to those that have chosen to avoid having themselves subjected to more-or-less experimental-level mRNA manipulation.  I hear the lead scientist was Gene Hackman.

If you’re a coward, the FDA has just approved a new drug.  Ask your doctor if Growacet® is right for you.

Though Huxley tapped into a universal weakness, this is a reaction that is far more common on the Left than on the Right.  Leftism is built on weakness.  If people can take care of themselves, if they are confident, if they respect themselves, it is much less likely that they will become Leftists.

Leftists, at the core of their being, feel inferior.  This is observable in the ways that they protest – they constantly put themselves in danger.  They lie down in front of cars.  They block highways.

The reason is that, due to their feelings of inferiority, they actually long to be either punished or to have their existence ended.  And the data shows that Leftists are much more likely to suffer from a mental issue.  Much more likely.  Here’s a thread where data scientist Zach Goldberg breaks down a Pew® study (LINK).

If you didn’t click on the link, here is just one fact that says it all:  56.3% of white female Leftists between the ages of 18-29 have been diagnosed by a mental health professional with a mental health condition.  White “conservative” men in the same age group?  16.3%.  Leftist men in the same age group?  33.6%.

Do insane accountants hear strange and threatening invoices?

If you are talking to a young Leftist woman, it is more likely that she has a mental health issue than not.  If you are talking to a young Leftist man, you are talking with someone who has a greater chance of having been diagnosed with a mental health issue than any age/sex group on the Right.

So, Leftists feel inferior and lead the league in diagnosed mental issues.

What else?

This sense of inferiority coupled with mental illness makes Leftists especially brittle mentally.  They cannot even listen to ideas that they disagree with.  Ideas that they find distasteful, no matter how true, are psychologically devastating to them.  When they say that they are “literally shaking” it’s probable that’s correct.  Me?  I only “literally shake” when I make James Bond® a martini.

We know the true villains the Left wants to stop . . .

This leads to the Great Counterfactual Gambit of facts that Leftists have to ignore to live on a day to day basis:

  • Men (on average) will always be much stronger than women. When a high school boy beats a woman’s world record time in swimming practice, it’s normal.  Yet some people (weirdly) say there’s no physical difference between women and men.
  • This brings us to trans- people. Any suggestion that the latest mantra of “trans women are women” is against all manner of biological facts, well, is unacceptable.  If that were the case, we wouldn’t need to have a word for “trans women”.  Likewise, “trans women” wouldn’t be upset that they often can only get dates from other “trans” people.
  • We aren’t all born with equal abilities, temperaments, or physical characteristics. We are actually not even remotely the same in many respects.  Sure, we’re human, but some populations have extremely different DNA, with great degrees of differing abilities based solely on that.  Intelligence is (studies suggest) at least 60% heritable, and maybe higher.  The trend is that, in 2020, people segregate themselves by I.Q. before they marry – we’re mobile and smart people end up (mostly) marrying other smart people.  This increases the number of very smart people, and it’s not random.  (And, perhaps a reason that autism is on the rise.)

I could go on and on.  The difficulty is that Leftism requires that people ignore reality when reality gives them results they don’t like.  I read one article where a Leftist was writing a hand-wringing piece about how disappointed that he was that artificial intelligence could determine the race of the patient being x-rayed with a high degree of accuracy.  This bothered him because the researchers intentionally took the data and degraded it.

The A.I. could still easily determine accurately the races of most of the people being x-rayed.  This bothered the scientist because it violated his belief that race was just a social construct, yet here a robot was dismantling that very belief.

If you make a device that’s good at noticing patterns, you can either accept that patterns exist, or you can make the machine ignore reality and thus make it useless, and Congress can’t stand the competition.

If an A.I. takes a picture of itself, will that be considered selfie-aware?

This reflects outward in the art that Leftists love.  They hate the world, so they like art that is to a sane mind repugnant is what they seek.  They see themselves as afraid of any sort of competition, so they want to practice inversion:

  • Weakness is strength.
  • Cowardice is courage.
  • Ugliness is beauty.
  • Defeat is victory.

Oops, forgot!  Slavery is freedom.

The result of an inverted Leftist utopia is a burned world, cleansed of all that they despise.

The philosophy of the Left is similarly bankrupt.  The ideas are based on another rejection of reality:

  • All cultures are equal.
  • Scientific analysis is led by philosophy, and valid only when it backs Leftist talking points.
  • Classification of things – good and bad, smart and dumb, fat and thin is inherently wrong.

Remember, the best way to win an argument is to silence anyone who has a different opinion!

The granddaddy of all of these is this:

  • All truth is relative.

This one is especially insidious – it takes a True statement (we cannot know everything) and thus takes it to the idea of the general:  we can know nothing for certain.  Start with mathematics:  if you believe that 1+1=2, then you believe that there is Truth.  Gravity always pulls down.  Truth.

Do I see every event from every angle?  Can I know the position of every atom inside of every person in a play?  If I watch the play from a different seat, do I get a different meaning?

Sure, I’ll buy that I can’t know everything.  But if I jump in front of a semi that’s traveling down the highway at 120 miles per hour (4 liters per second) I will die and what’s left of me will look like someone dropped a bag of vegetable soup.  Unless the semi is made of Nerf® material, but that’s fairly unlikely since it absorbs vegetable soup.

Lastly, the Left feels they have no power.  Ever argue with someone in real life who has never had any real power?  Whatever they have, they will use until it’s nearly abuse – the average DMV will prove my case.  Power is the end product.  They feel that they are inferior, reject reality, and wish to have power so that they can have revenge against those that they feel have slighted them.

A Leftist won a contest – he would get $100,000, but $200,000 would go to the person he hated most.  I wonder what he’s going to do with $300,000?

Together, these ideas explain the absolute hatred that the Left feels for those who have refused to take “the jab.”  These are based on the idea that, at last, they are superior.  What would they do to get and keep that power?  Would they put people into camps?  Would they gladly watch them die?

Yes, yes they would.

  2. We must be cautious to not paint with too broad of a brush. While self-loathing is a significant factor for garden variety lefties, the people pulling the strings are quite different. Many are driven by plain old lust for power and/or the thrill that comes from being over other people. But there are also a sizable people in every totalitarian movement who are drawn not out of fear or desire for power but instead because they love to hurt people. They don’t care about the plight of the workers or trans rights or the environment. They do care about making other humans suffer and being part of one of these movements, almost invariably on the Left, gives them a “legitimate” outlet for their cruelty. The Soviet Union was full of sociopaths that used their position to terrorize people, mostly for the sake of the terror, people like Lavrentiy Beria and Genrikh Yagoda.

    The thing to remember is that there are people like that now, people who love to hurt and kill, riot and loot, simply for the thrill it gives them.

      1. True, but you don’t win wars by being kind to your enemies.
        You win wars by killing them.

    2. Great points. We need to keep in mind that the moron Leftist pooping on the steps of a Starbucks and calling it a protest against capitalism isn’t the one calling the shots. Few of the people we see in media are the shotcallers either. This is what makes them immune to normal methods of control; people actually doing the unpopular/ illegal stuff can be fake-punished by a firing and bad words said about them or even a short time in Club Fed, so it appears that some sort of justice has been meted out. But the person who replaces them knows the truth: if they play ball and take the dive when needed, there will be a golden parachute waiting for them just like the last guy. This is why failing up is a sign of corruption. Eric Cantor was ‘fired’ from the Senate after voting for TARP bailouts, and about a year later he was the highest paid board in America. $3.5M/ year isn’t bad for a no-show job.

      It’s like a weird chess game, where their side has a king calling the shots, a bunch of queens and masses of pawns while our side has a lot of knights and bishops but no king and no pawns.

      1. Just so you know, Eric Cantor was in the House, not the Senate. He was also my representative and I voted for Mr. Brat (the one who beat Cantor) because Cantor had made it clear to just about everybody that he was a career politician who was only interested in being a career politician, not someone who would support his constituency.
        No one was more surprised that Mr. Cantor lost the primary than Mr. Cantor himself.

  3. They hate us because it’s much easier than self-hate. Greed, low self-esteem, unrealistic expectations and plain old laziness are not redeeming qualities to help instill confidence, or create a healthy initiative. With those well educated in manipulation to create the narrative, the hate is focused on those that don’t find their qualities healthy.

    The solution is a focused rejection of those so willing to destroy for power. It starts with the minions, since they have to circulate in the general population, and can’t isolate themselves with wealth. Without soldiers, the quest for power is fruitless.

  4. They certainly hate Kyle.

    https://extradeadjcb.substack.com/p/11-why-they-hate-kyle

    Try this Black Friday shopping experiment: Google “Kyle Rittenhouse shirt” and click on the shopping tab. No results (except for the paid ads from the places selling such shirts). Then try “Joseph Stalin shirt” or “Pol Pot shirt” or “Che Guevara shirt” or “Jeffery Dahmer shirt” or “John Gacy shirt”. Plenty of stocking stuffer gift ideas there! (You’re welcome).

    Yep, Kyle is right up there with Adolf as far as Google is concerned. Because self defense is so racist that only whites can successfully claim it in court.

  5. 42% of trannies are HIV positive.

    A different study confirming Leftists are crazy. It also has a cool picture. I expect Libertarians would have had a much higher incidence rate if they’d included autism in the study:

    A possible explanation for why Leftists are the way you describe, which leads them to hate us is the r/K reproductive strategy. It has been observed in nature that in an environment with plentiful resources, certain attributes and behaviors become more likely to lead to survival and reproduction. In an environment of scarce resources, very different attributes and behaviors become more likely to lead to survival and reproduction. Those attributes and behaviors very strongly correlate with what we think of as Left/ Right differences.

    I think the lower order Leftists hate us for the reasons you propose, but those above them in the (dis)organizational chart of Leftism require different analysis. Some studies/ theories I’ve found to help me understand them:

    https://spandrell.com/2015/03/01/leftism-is-just-an-easy-excuse/

    2. Thanks for posting this “Leftism is just an easy excuse” article from 2015, everybody should read it. The social human-nature feedback loop it describes has certainly been kicked into high gear over the past few years by Big Tech social media. The most important conclusion is in his last lines: “…hence the ideological movement accelerates. And there is no stopping it.”

      And as I note in a small way in my own comment above, cancel culture is a major part of the end game.

      This is the first time I’ve come across articles at spandrell.com and just I’ve skimmed some of his more recent ones. Here’s his own response to his own Twitter cancellation in 2021, again a must-read.

      So, urbit. Great idea, kind of like the original Napster for ideas. Something to keep an eye on, and hope it comes to the rescue in time.

    3. Great links. Was unaware of the HIV stats, but unsurprised. Is r/K the cause, or the effect. I think in a tough environment, they just don’t make the cut. K time coming round soon enough, I think.

      Spandrell! Such a great body of work!

      1. My understanding is that r/K in humans is more of a spectrum, and where someone falls on it is a combo of genetics and upbringing. Being raised to compete leads to moving where they started genetically towards the K end, while being spoiled and given participation trophies moves the needle towards the r end.

        The reason for having both is that different environments select for one or the other. When humans come onto a new land with few limits to expansion, the r strategy is optimal: why fight when you can walk a few miles and find your own territory. As things fill up, K gets selected for. There does seem to be a K-selected bottleneck coming up… but which may lead to a depopulated land, which would select for r.

  6. 56.3% of white female Leftists between the ages of 18-29 have been diagnosed by a mental health professional with a mental health condition.

    The other 43.7% simply refuse to accept a diagnosis. But they still gobble Xannies like Tic Tacs.

    My wife’s huge extended family consists of Conservative, right-leaning older women and hysterical, bat-sh!t crazy leftist younger women in roughly equal measures. In some cases, they are mother-and-daughter duelists, which makes for quite an “electric” scene at family gatherings. At the last funeral, for instance, the poor stiff was completely ignored as fists flew and irretrievable oaths were uttered, almost universally by the women in attendance. I need a scorecard to keep track of who is not speaking to whom this week, but I gave up long ago trying to remember the specifics of each rift.

    And to think that we all used to be such apolitical party animals back in the day.

    1. Yet here we are, following the rules. I haven’t seen a single act of real violence from the Right, or any act that our real enemies would do anything but laugh hysterically at. Those at the top of the Leftist power structure understand human nature very well, especially the Right wing brain which requires a leader to reassure us that our actions are justified and will be carried through even if we fall.

      Our enemy has set things up such that it is near impossible for a real leader to step up. Mainly by inserting their people in to become leaders, and co-opting the rest. Or an assassination, but a leader that can’t be co-opted only happens every few decades so it’s rare.

        2. I just checked drudge, and I’m not seeing any references to violent acts done to advance our agenda. So yes, WE are all following the rules.

          1. Wait, you mean a captured Leftard site doesn’t tell anyone about acts best done anonymously, and in secret?
            You’re aware they don’t even report on violent acts done to advance their own agenda either, right…?

            Color me shocked.

            The Revolution will not be televised.
            Mainly because the media is the first wave of targets.
            For both sides.
            And every time, they’re always standing there dumbfounded and jaws agape, when that reality dawns on them 158 grains at a time.

  8. AI reading race in x-rays: get this quote from a Wired article (a bad one) covering the subject.
    “Race is a social construct and not in itself a biological phenotype, even though it can be associated with differences in anatomy,” Yi says.
    The doctor obviously contradicts himself in the same sentence. Differences means that race is real, just as different breeds of dogs are different physically and mentally.

      1. I can’t speak for others – and perhaps it’s because I’m not as young as I used to be, but to drink enough alcohol to make *my* brain stop hurting causes severe hangovers. So it’s just kicking the can down the road a few hours…. :-/

  9. I’m with McChuck on this. When you see folks – in what’s left of this nation – actually posting their desire to see “anti-vax parents forcibly and painfully restrained” with tears running down their cheeks, while their children are forcibly vaccinated…
    we have to reconcile ourselves to the obvious. We cannot reason with this idiocy, violence is likely the only way to make them see sense – and perhaps not even then.
    Every passing day, we get closer to your decision. Will it be all of “us”, or all of “them”? Many of “us” have already decided. If you haven’t – “Choose this day who you will serve. As for me and mine…”

  10. Don’t know that I could add anything of value to the discussion. Have leftists in my family, they are boring in the extreme, and convinced of their own righteousness, and high intellect. Normally intelligent people utter the most profound and utter garbage, and believe it true. They swallow every turd emitted by gov. on it’s controlled media, and look on me with anger when I pronounce it rubbish only fit for burning. Leftism really is a mental illness, to one degree or another. What will end the madness? Civil War it seems……….

  12. Interesting article on hate exhibited by SF leftist advocates who enable uninhibited drug use among the homeless instead of actually working to get them off the street…

    https://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/san-francisco-homeless-insider-tells

    TLDR:

    “…I documented in “San Fransicko” that Friedenbach and other homeless advocates are motivated in significant measure by their belief that capitalism, not addiction, is responsible for the suffering on the streets. After I appeared on Joe Rogan, a clinical psychologist who for two decades ran programs for homeless veterans at the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center, which included homeless vets, emailed me.

    “I agree with all you say about the ‘homeless’ people who are actually mislabeled mentally ill and drug addicts,” wrote Dr. Mark Zaslav. “I like your comparison of the ‘ideology’ of people who “advocate” for the homeless to a religion gone haywire. But I wanted, as a psychologist, to add ****another point for your consideration****. This is the fact that this leftwing religion is based on split-off hatred and contempt for civilization itself. When I attended substance abuse conferences in San Francisco run by community leaders, it became clear to me that these people had no understanding of mental health disorders like addiction – they regarded “homeless” addicts as heroes of some kind.

    “Thus, each drug addict defecating on the streets in the Tenderloin was a massive middle finger to some imagined white male with a briefcase. The premise of your solutions, which make so much sense, assume that adherents to the now reigning ideology want things solved. They do not. They want people inconvenienced by addicts – the homeless become quote literal scared cows who roam society reminding everyone of the sins of capitalism.

    “You mentioned Noam Chomsky. These people are angry and full of hate. They have tapped into a form of blindness among the voters of places like San Francisco or California itself – these are angry people endlessly telling themselves they are compassionate while projecting their hatred toward the ‘bourgeoise.’ I am afraid this does not end well. “

    Obligatory one-picture = thousand words:

    1. Ricky, thanks for the great stuff in the Shellenberger article. I had not considered the advocates using bums as a political weapon.

      A good comment to the article is “Dems are FARMING homeless people to make more money.” We had noticed this approach to the mess. Bums multiply in a city that starts tolerating them. We don’t go in the local bookstore because the bums took over the place. We also avoid the fast food places near it. An offical bum-camp is located across the highway and no businesses any more on that side for a mile.

      I do wish the somewhat long article was written better. Shellenberget needs a writing class from Wilder!

  13. JUDGEMENT has been set on america,IT was decided to just destroy the entire NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT,and wipe it off the map forever..REVELATIONS in your BIBLE has to do with north america mainly,BUT OUR FATHER has watched the people slowly turn to his enemy SATAN..theres no reversing it,AMERICA HAS CROSSED THE RUBICON..get your seatbelts on,its going to be a hard crash…REPENT of your sins,Call on the LORD everyday,maybe you’ll be one of those who are saved….GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS,you could be too….

    1. I had not. It is on the agenda, and we were an early data point – we decided to *not* move to a state because of it’s purple-blue (now fully blue) status. I’ve seen the same out of others. People are choosing sides and voting with their feet.

    2. It was predicted by Thomas Chittum back in the early 90s in his book, “Civil War 2.”

      This process helps us, so making liberals feel unwelcome in your neighborhood is a good start.
