The two psychological tendencies that underlie modern leftism we call “feelings of inferiority” and “oversocialization.” Feelings of inferiority are characteristic of modern leftism as a whole, while oversocialization is characteristic only of a certain segment of modern leftism; but this segment is highly influential.
Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives.
Art forms that appeal to modern leftish intellectuals tend to focus on sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an orgiastic tone, throwing off rational control as if there were no hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation and all that was left was to immerse oneself in the sensations of the moment.
Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined.
Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or racists to abuse them, etc.
But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is not their real goal. Instead, race problems serve as an excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power.
The leftist of the oversocialized type tries to get off his psychological leash and assert his autonomy by rebelling. But usually he is not strong enough to rebel against the most basic values of society.
Leftists, especially those of the oversocialized type, usually do not rebel against these principles but justify their hostility to society by claiming (with some degree of truth) that society is not living up to these principles.
You do realize you are citing the unabomber as an authority on what is psychologically normal? Did it ever occur to you that this might be problematic...in any way?
What about the abuses of the poor. I'm so sick of hearing about the non-working poor when we all know full well they are abusing the system and want more for doing nothing. I have no sympathy for them because I don't think it is fair that working people are forced to support them. By the time we are done giving to them they make around 50K and they play the "I'm poor" ... Oh poor is me....card to the hilt.
Just as bad is that they have no personal pride.
What is wrong with doing something about their abuses?
Many of the poor are mentally ill or have lower IQs. Why do you assume everyone is able to work? What is so unbelievably hard to believe that there will be people in this country that just cannot make it on their own?

Liberals act like no one has any common sense or that we need them to tell us what is good for us. They are obviously thinking about other liberals. They want to tell us what we can drink, what the kids can eat and on and on. If Liberals had their way, they would tell us when we are "allowed" to go to the bathroom.
Read your quote above, and you can see why it's likely more than just liberals that think you have no common sense.
As for liberals telling you when to go to the bathroom, your posts are so full of **** I'd be surprised if you ever get off the toilet.

In a world gone mad, the last sane person would be deemed insane.
Actually, had it gone in the main bit it probably would have disappeared beneath the endless plethora of Do blacks men date white women/do white men date black women/shall we send the blacks back to africa threads that seem to occupy about 90% of american political discourse. So maybe its better its stayed here.
I will make sure and dig up my favorite Joe Stalin quote criticizing conservatives....
