| A Look Into the Mind of the American Left: Part I |
| 2018-07-14 |
| [Daily Signal] As I watch a great number of my fellow Americans and virtually all of the mainstream media descend further and further into irrational and immoral hysteria‐regularly calling the president of the United States and all of his supporters Nazis, white supremacists, and the like; harassing Republicans where they eat, shop, and live; ending family ties and lifelong friendships with people who support the president; declaring their opposition to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party the "Resistance," as if they were American reincarnations of the French who fought real Nazis in World War II; and so on‐I ask myself: What is going on? How does one explain them? Here are some answers: |

| #13 The author is Dennis Prager. If I knew he was Jewish, I’m afraid I’d forgotten — he isn’t one of my regular stops. Perhaps he should be. But Alan C has never been anything other than supportive of Jews and Israel before, Sgt. D.T., so perhaps he meant something else. |

| #12 Alan C., what do you mean by "his kinds" control of media? The author is a conservative, American Jew. I am surprised the mods didn't notice that little bit of anti-semitism. Also disappointed. |

| #11 There's going to be a Part II. That's scary. |

| #10 All I've got are vague impressions from doorstops read decades ago, but still... a shitstirring atheist seminarian turned revolutionary wouldn't have heard of a crazy German who killed God? On the other hand... he was a journalist. Okay, I'm sold. |

| #8 Mao, maybe not. Stalin? Hell yeah. Anyhoo... Today, down in Hades, three baddies, Bright lads who were mad at their daddies: Sez Mao, "Pleased to meet ya. He's Stalin." "I'm Nietzsche. Let's play violent games and roll fatties!" |

| #7 People who think their opinions are superior to others are most prone to overestimating their relevant knowledge and ignoring chances to learn more |

| #6 The left is forever guided by Nietzsche's untermiche concepts of social interaction. I'm sure Stalin never heard the name. Ditto for Mao. |

| #5 The left is forever guided by Nietzsche's untermiche concepts of social interaction. Name an oppressive dictator who persecutes one ethnic group and you will find a fan of Nietzsche. Hitler in particular used the concepts to define the justification of the "final solution" The left would really and truly put everyone that is not a true believer in re-education camps and slave labor camps. |

| #4 From a quick perusal of that tripe it is obvious that the author believes whole heartedly in his own superiority and saintliness. And is completely oblivious to the toxicity of his kinds control of media, education etc. and thinks that anyone who disagrees with the progressive dogma would blithely confess this sin to any and all without worrying about consequences. |

| #2 Living in their echo chamber they thought they had won, but they exposed themselves prematurely and the country elected someone to undo the damage. Missed it by that much because of arrogance, but their ego doesn't allow for self-criticism, just criticism of everybody else. |
