Wow nice post
Thanks! That one took a while, even though Ive considered the concept a while. Attending college when I was in my mid-thirties, I found the disconnect between Leftist rhetoric and their unyielding support of Islam disconcerting, if not outright unbridgeable.
Having spent some quality time overseas, I couldnt reconcile the cognitive dissonance until I had time to consider the basis of both world views. While one wears a religious veneer, and the other a humanist face, the similarities are actually quite extensive. Both are ultimately totalitarian in outlook and action. Together, their human toll dwarfs everything else in combination throughout history. I should have included statements about anger and hatred, but I thought 20 was a nice round number.
Maybe someday, Ill finish a more exhaustive list.
