Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak... The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior.

They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems.

Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful.

-UNABOMBER

They (leftists) hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives.

UNABOMBER

LEFTISTS SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric & so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or @ best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist

UNABOMBER

Whereas he (leftist) ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization.

Unabomber

Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist’s real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.

Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principles, and moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type.

UNABOMBER

But compassion and moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism. Hostility is too prominent a component of leftist behavior; so is the drive for power...

UNABOMBER

Moreover, much leftist behavior is not rationally calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to be trying to help...

UNABOMBER

For example, if one believes that affirmative action is good for black people, does it make sense to demand affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms?...

UNABOMBER

Obviously it would be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to white people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them...

UNABOMBER

But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is not their real goal. Instead, race problems serve as an excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power...

UNABOMBER

In doing so they actually harm black people, because the activists’ hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to intensify race hatred.

Take note

The #Democrat - #BLM Marxist alliance will do NOTHING to make black lives matter
