I remember reading, I think it was in The Rape of Nanking, that one of the ways that people can convince themselves or others to commit genocide is to convince them that the “other people” are something less than human.

Sometimes I wonder if stuff like this is the same thing but just looks different in application.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

Thanks Leighton.

"Everything that allows the triumph of the revolution is moral. Everything that stands in its way is immoral." Sergey Nechayev

Whenever Leftists get anywhere near power they make the same exact totalizing demands: either cede all power to us and install our ideology everywhere, or we will make your society stink.

It is an aggressive form of moral blackmail where nothing matters but WHO/WHOM and since they are on the side of the [peasant/proletariat/Latinx] this means that they represent the righteous stainless victim and any opposition is ipso facto evil oppression.

As we can see here in Cali, they are very hard to oppose because they seem to be "on the side of the good" and "making the world a better place" which most people take at face value, esp when 1) every media outlet and Hollywood product preaches the same doctrine; and 2) any dissenters know that they will be opposed by an angry pack of True Believers ready to denounce and destroy you.

One of the interesting questions of this decade is will there be any force that arises to oppose the Social Justice Revolution. But they have tremendous power in this state and will leave a wide trail of wreckage no matter what.
