Are Leftists Literally Addicted to Hatred?

[Not Insane]

After reading some articles and watching videos over the past 20 years, specifically, this article really made a lot of things clear.

I've said for a long time that the primary debate tools of the left are:
Ad hominem attack
Projection
deflection

And the projection part especially rang true. Like the leftist who feely admitted he was voting for Obama because he was black, and accusing me of voting against him because he's black - even though I've never voted for ANY democrat for president in my life.

Or the constant accusations that conservatives are the ones that spew hate, even though when you watch a BLM, Antifa, "hands up, don't shoot" rally and juxtapose against a TEA party rally and you get the opposite opinion. Or the fascist Antifa calling the right "fascist.

And this article really nailed the "hate" projection. So here it is:

Are Leftists Literally Addicted to Hatred?

I think the answer is a resonding yes. They tend to be younger (under 25) and, therefore, more emotional in their response - which includes hatred. The right is far more mature and tends to respond more logically and with long term consequences of their response in mind.

But it's a great article.

New study identifies a psychological factor linked to Trump supporters’ vindictiveness

https://www.psypost.org/2020/03/new-...tiveness-56280

The desire to matter and feel significant among Donald Trump supporters is associated with support for hostile and vindictive actions against the president’s political rivals, according to new research published in the journal Political Psychology.

Pretty clear that Trumpkins are the haters. They're quite pathetic, but I really can't find any empathy for them. Sad.

There's the difference. Most of the conservatives I know actually have empathy for the leftists. Heck, we were all young at one time and were leftists ourselves. We can actually relate.

But we grew up. And most of these kids rioting now will too.

Most conservatives I've run into don't exhibit a whole lot of empathy for anybody or anything outside of their wallet.

You need to get out more. Here is some perspective from a leftist that actually is honest about what they experienced:

IRONIC POST OF THE DAY to have a right winger accuse liberals of “hate”.

What is a "right winger"?

I'm a conservative using modern vernacular. But at the time of my country's founding, the phrase would have been classical liberal. I know a lot of conservatives and a lot of liberals, having friends and family all over the country. Just a perusal of my wife's and my facebook feed would paint a pretty clear picture of which side is steeped in hate. It's tangible.

And it is on display in this very site. Have a nice day, friend.

Yes, especially from this Insane clown, who’s clearly a sociopath, like his cult-master. Sad!

Is ad-hom literally all you have? I think you need to give Democratic Underground a try. You should fit in right there and they probably won't ban you.
