Counter-Currents

Enough people on the real right demonize people on the left. Some see the comprehensive left-Cathedral conspiracy (a conspiracy of universities, media, corporations, and high politics). Some people describe a leftist “long march through the institutions” to explain the cultural dominance of the left in real politics. But a lot of things on the left work because of interpersonal relationships, shared ideology, idealism, but also lack of self-awareness, cowardice, psychological problems, psychological blackmail, fear, and the desire for profit.

You do lay out the strengths of the Left in a way I had never seen before. As anti-real as they are, they are indeed formidable.
Part of the answer to why such questions as yours cannot be allowed resides in Ed Dutton’s phrase Spiteful Mutants, the genetically defective whom the advances of the Industrial Revolution have allowed to live, when under the conditions of harsh Nature, they would not have survived. The Left overflows with such creatures. You cannot have an actual conversation with a Spiteful Mutant, who is a kind of zombie.
Another reason is the saturation of the Left with Spiteful Mutant women, and for many of these females anything less than complete validation is tantamount to an attack.
And as has often been noted, Leftism functions very much like a religion and while the theological types will engage in debate, most street-level believers view critical questions as an attack on a sacred world view and respond reactively. As Muslims have shown, group outrage is far more effective than fact-based discussion.
Very interesting article, sir. Thank you.
Everything you like about the left I find repellent. They have no redeeming features, even their ‘strengths’ are handed to them because the system is there to deliver for them. From the Civil Rights Act, the Equalities Act 2010 or the European Court of Human Rights. Add to this, corporate billionaires who control the media and NGO’s which fund district attorneys in the USA, face covered ‘black block’ tactics belonging to Antifa or societies that lobby for open borders. The Left have built nothing but sordid little degenerate movements or destructive ones.
Adding to your list, I despise the mechanism by which the left own both sides of the narrative without breaking stride. You make reference to it with their intellectual dishonesty, but their disingenuousness is akin to blatant lying. Kier Starmer was on his knee for fentanyl Floyd but made a very real threat and carried it out when white people had a problem with 3 young white girls being butchered as they practiced dance moves. Without blinking or a hint of embarrassment this left beast could not have been more removed from their murders.
Thank you for your questions – very insightful and more importantly, practically useful. Enjoyable article.
