The Violent Tendencies of the Regressive Left

No movement claims to be about 'peace and justice' quite as much as the Regressive Left does. We see it in the claims of Bernie Sanders and his plans to have the US take a step back in military interventions. We see it in the anti-gun movement on the Left. And we see it in the stated motives of the Black Lives Matter movement. But beneath all of this lies the true motives of the Regressive Left, which I've expounded on at length.

Like any authoritarian movement, the Regressive Left is violent at heart. This is due in large part to the anger that motivates regressives: anger at the 'system,' anger at the wealthy, anger at alleged institutional injustices (mythical or real). Anger is a powerful motivator in elections. It is far more efficient to mobilize voters using anger than mobilizing them through compassion, kindness or rational facts.

Anger relies on something or someone to be angry at. Scapegoating is an essential tool of any demagogue. The psychologist René Girard states that a kind of community is formed when people from a wide variety of backgrounds identify a common enemy to hate. One only needs look at Third Wave Feminists to see this in action, with white “cis” straight men being reduced to subhuman status. Sanders is a master of this by subtly targeting the rich beyond what Democrats typically do. This should come as no surprise, as Sanders's base are the same Social Justice Warriors who menace college campuses around the United States.

A great example of anger and dehumanization is the case of libertarian commentator Lauren Southern, who had a bottle of urine dumped on her head when she dared to question the unscientific gender ideology promoted by SJWs. On March 5^th Southern has was assaulted by so-called 'anti-fascist' protestors inVancouver who used fascist tactics in their protest. Dumping urine or other body fluids on a person is considered assault in any civilized place in the world. One wonders what the reaction of the Left Regressives would have been if Southern had been a feminist protesting a Men's Rights Movement meeting and this had happened. Add in the online harassment against Southern that SJWs typically claim they stand against when advocating censorship of Twitter and Facebook and you get a clear picture of the hypocrisy of the fascistic Regressive Left.

Such peaceful, loving people. Nothing says 'anti-violence' like wishing cancer on someone.

Prior to the assault the protestors had been wearing masks to hide their identity. This is a common tactic on the extreme Left. During the George W Bush administration masked protestors were a common sight at anti-war demonstrations in the United States. These same protestors were largely out of sight when President Obama used drones to continue waging and expanding the US war in the middle east by proxy. Consistency is not to be expected in politics, though. Instead ideological consistency is more important.

Obviously Trump uses anger as well and is in a much stronger political position after last night's Republican primary. Trump's antics are well known and heavily criticized by Sanders's supporters and the mainstream media. Sanders and the Regressive Left get a pass. Evidence of this was the total emotional meltdown many Sanders supporters had on social media in the aftermath of the crushing defeat he received on the March 15^th Democratic primaries. The corollary to anger is righteous indignation when things do not go according to plan, as was the case last night when Sanders supporters pledged to not vote for Clinton. Disregard that this hands the White House to Trump or Cruz.
