POWER......................
and hatred
Mental illness.
There are two kinds of people in the world.
Those who just want to be left alone, and those who just won’t leave them alone.
Most of the Left fits into the latter category, which is, basically, power.
They want to have power over others.
-— POWER -—
The leadership. The rank and file is motivated by base desire and their vices.
Definitely envy, complicated by the will to power and megalomania.
Linda Loooooo ... knows.
Psychosis.
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy. ~Aristotle
They’re the types that want someone else to do things, so they can completely abdicate responsibility for their lives and that of others. As long as they can, they will look for someone to take care of them and handle ‘unpleasant’ things. If someone like a family member needs help, they turn their backs because they ‘just can’t handle’ things and another facet is a kind of wanting someone else to do the necessary, but at the same time, don’t like ‘ugly’ methods or ‘ugly’ words or again, ‘unpleasant’ things.
Each and every single day is about being surrounded by pretty pleasant things. They want to make no effort. This is why a lot of suburban housewives vote Democrat, even as their husbands slave away to continue to provide a nice life, even as taxes climb more and more upwards. They also think that they can uplift the losers, but don’t want to do the work themselves and like to leave things to other people. It’s a chronic determination to be ignorant about what other people (like the working class) think and go through.
As for their kids, they’ll fight against busing and integration since their brats (future world leaders) are the ones that would face it. They’re the types that won’t believe that THEIR kids are capable of bad things and could end up being bad people. They just want others to foot the bill for their free ride in life. They don’t WANT to know about the realities of day to day life for working class whites; they don’t mind a member of the working class to fix things and work, but the idea of letting them socialize with them is abhorrent.
It’s a deliberate immature ignorance that makes them unwilling to grow up.
Exactly
I think hatred is the biggest factor.
They hate anyone who doesn't think like them.
They even hate anyone who suggests there might be a valid alternate view.
I think for a lot of lefties the fear of not being included. Whether it is the all important cocktail party or friends at Starbucks.
I don’t think that is what motivates them. This is what they suffer from
NEITHER! The basic principle liberals operate under is that there is a giant ball of wealth which is constant and stagnant. The rich 1% own lion’s share of that wealth ball.
What the liberals do not understand is that wealth in any country is not stagnant and constant. Wealth has to be created every hour, every day, every month, every year. Manufacturing, mining, agriculture and applied research are the major wealth creators. All of them must be nurtured and encouraged. And that requires there must be a reward to those who work to keep the effort going.
Taxes and regulations are hindrance to wealth creation.
BTTT
Envy and greed are merely attributes of the same sin.
Hatred of God and love of Satan?
