The modern left is extremely weird because they have suicidal empathy for what should be their sworn enemies, but extreme antipathy and hostility to those who should be their natural allies.

My hypothesis is that this is born of long-term internalized self-hatred, catalyzed by precarity and a feeling of ideological and cultural rootlessness. It’s a sickness peculiar to empires that have no frontiers left to the expand into, and whose people see no future beyond decline and decay.

Still, I hate those people as much as they hate themselves. One thing I do not possess is suicidal empathy; I wish to destroy my enemies. I can pity them after they are deceased.
