Anti-racism. Climate change theory. Anti-Colonialism. Anti- White. These are the stereotypical aspects of the radical left. Yet all of these beliefs when exercised are also hypocritical and selfish, which the leftist is blind too. Their beliefs actually stem from selfishness.
I was just reading the forward to the second book in the Southern Reach series. A fiction book, I was reading it to just relax but instead got hit with a barrage of what I just mentioned.
It actually made me laugh, I thought to myself just how wild my views can be, and yet when I wrote the forward to John’s book, Life in The Peoples Republic of Victoria, I kept the political jargon out of it and instead focused on the fictional themes relevant to the story.
This is called detachment.
Detachment not only of emotions but also of ideology, by reading the room and focusing on the story, not the politics of the day.
But the radical far leftist can’t do this, If they write something then they have to fire off on all recyclable cylinders. I imagined as I was reading that the author of that forward had a checklist next to them, complete with all the buzzwords their stereotype uses.
Colonialism, white male, gender, climate change, Trump (yes Trump was mentioned in a fiction book’s forward), fascist (referring to Trump), etc.
The far-left belief system is built off of this shortsighted emotion.
This is why they also hate stereotypes in general, because they themselves fall into stereotypes consistently. They live and breathe the stereotype.
I’m typically considered “far right” and yet I love nature and want the natural environment to expand. I actually try not to buy products with plastics in them, only biodegradable. I try to buy products that have no chemicals in them and that are ethically sourced. I read Marxist and communist Chinese books on economics for fun. On a personal level I prefer renewable energy because I think it’s cleaner. I’ve read the communist manifesto about three or four times. None of this has convinced me of the far left’s ideologies.
I don’t need to get emotional about any of it.
But the left does. Why?
Because their attachment to these things comes purely from a place of selfishness. All those things mentioned are nice sounding things, and when you promote them publicly, On the surface you’ll sound great. Sharing, supporting nature, helping the less fortunate. You’re trying to get people to understand that you’re a nice person.
Sharing is a beautiful thing, and I must be a good person for having read about ideologies that promote sharing right? Yet anyone who sees the larger picture would realize that Marxism is a flawed ideology that aims to enslave the masses whilst elevating the state. Using this exact selfishness and “I’m a good person” trick to do so.
Same goes if I said the white male is bad. Something which I don’t actually believe at all, at least not in the sense that he’s any worse than any other race. But the only reason someone actually says that is simply to show the brown races that the white person saying it, the far-leftist, is such a good person that they have dropped from their position of superiority down to their level. Which is just pure racism. I wrote an article on this a while ago, Radical anti-racism is racism.
It’s hypocritical. For a white person to attack their own race makes no sense, unless they are trying to gain something at the expense of them.
All of the beliefs of the far-left boil down to this. Hypocrisy and selfishness.
Climate change: They use slave labor phones whilst telling others how in tuned with nature they are.
Gender: They hate white males but “believe” all genders should be equal (but then make up genders to suit their narrative anyway.)
Socialism: They want others stuff for free whilst not wanting to give anything away.
It’s all hypocrisy and selfishness.
It was a shock reading that forward because I thought the Author was non-political. To be then hit with a barrage of far-left nonsense was just so out of place it was humorous. I feel sorry for the Author, who is actually fantastic at writing, that he has now stained his book, maybe forever, with this unrelated propaganda.
Or maybe he is far left himself but hid it in the first book? The only left leaning thing I could find in the first one was that the characters were all women. But I didn’t think much of it because I’m mostly surrounded by women anyway. Again, another breaking of the “far-right” stereotype; failing to see gender.
Something the left can’t seem to do, hypocritically…
