Leftists’ masks come all the way off — revealing – Latest News
Leftism’s flaw is that it cares an excessive amount of.
Leftists are sort, beneficiant people who simply don’t perceive the sensible penalties of their concepts.
They really feel too deeply and take a look at too arduous to stop inequality as they stay in a fantasy world of rainbows and unicorns.

Yeah, that’s a bunch of BS.
There could also be a few such “useful idiots” (as Lenin referred to as them) on the left, however these previous few months the masks have been coming off.
Arguably the massive reveal started with the leftist celebration of Luigi Mangione, who murdered UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson in late 2024.
It was a watershed second: Suddenly, many on the left felt free to proclaim that they noticed killing CEOs as virtuous.
And in latest weeks the vitriol has flowed ever more overtly.
Now it isn’t simply CEOs; when Erin Placenti, a 32-year-old Bank of America vice president, was fatally stabbed final month by a nut in Times Square, leftists cheered as a result of she labored for a bank that had issued a “buy” advice for Israeli bank shares.
Last week, the anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination — which occurred whereas he was politely debating leftist school college students in an open discussion board — spurred “Happy Kirkiversary” and “Merry Kirkmas” outbursts on campuses round the nation.

Drag performers have reveled in his death: One at the moment touring show options a performer dressed as Kirk with blood pouring from his neck; one other, billed as a drag fundraiser for the ACLU, had a drag queen dolled up like Charlie’s widow Erika Kirk, theatrically weeping.
(How darkly ironic to use the death of a true free-speech martyr to raise money for a supposed free-speech group.)
Meanwhile, a lone black man who stood up to the bullying of 11 white jurors to stop the acquittal of confessed killer Lindsay Clancy has been subjected to widespread threats and character assassination by fellow jurors, the media, Clancy’s protection lawyer (in addition to his spouse) and a host of ghouls through TikTok.
More and more, leftists assist violence and threats of it in opposition to anybody who overtly disagrees with them, or stands of their way, on the grounds that such dissidents are dangerous people and deserve it.

Or that they deserve violence based mostly merely on their race, as Carnegie-Mellon University Prof. Uju Anya has repeatedly declared on X.
Anya, who attained notoriety for wishing Queen Elizabeth II “an agonizingly painful death” and cheering Rush Limbaugh’s demise, was challenged final week for her macabre behavior of rejoicing at the deaths of white people.
Her reply: “Die first, white man, then ask yourself why I’m dancing.”
Likewise, Texas Senate candidate James Talarico says white males are America’s prime terror risk, and that he prays to beat his own “whiteness.”
He appears to treat himself as a “non-practicing white person,” a time period that has taken maintain in some sectors of the left.
Nowhere in America is open racial hate as common as amongst the far leftists who dominate the Democratic Party.
And typically the hate is only political — the sort that leads people like Shelly Headen, a Democratic candidate for North Carolina’s state legislature, to post a image of herself in entrance of the ovens at the Dachau focus camp and caption it, “This is where Trump supporters belong.”

Leftism is steeped in hatred and revenge even when it’s disguised as help for the poor.
Its “help” is all the time centered on taking money from those that have carried out higher — by no means on serving to poor people themselves do higher, through issues like faculty selection or protected streets or limiting job competitors from unlawful immigration.
It’s no enjoyable serving to poor people if it doesn’t damage your enemies, and it’s enjoyable to harm your enemies even when it doesn’t help poor people.
The roots of trendy leftism are planted deep in the French Revolution — which produced the Terror, the first true police state, and finally a navy dictatorship and wars that killed tens of millions — and in Karl Marx, who along with Friedrich Engels (neither of whom ever held a actual job) referred to as for a bloody revolution ending in the dictatorship of the proletariat.
It’s all about envy, and about a want for energy and significance on the half of people who haven’t risen as high in current society as they suppose they deserve.
