#1 "To be of the left is to confuse perpetual outrage with righteousness. The professional leftist believes that the path to utopia on earth lies in constantly denouncing thought criminals until they have all been unthought so that only their kind of ethical and empathetic people walk the earth."

To that I would only add perpetual envy pretending to be righteousness.

Good post, gromgoru.

#3 5 stars, two thumbs up.

One of the great lines. Anything and everything that a leftist does or thinks is righteous to himself and his ilk.

#4 The left's defeat comes when its ... its alarmist crises are met with laughter.

I'm thinking, like Man-Made Global Climate Fluctuations.

#5 My favorite way to deal with the Cult of Warming is when they spout their stuff, tell them "I'm sorry, I don't believe in your religion, please stop preaching at me and trying to convert me to your religion" They get the weirdest look on their faces and start spluttering.

#6 Leftism is a form of mental problems, mainly stemming from narcissism with hints of envy Freudian projection, neoteny, a lack of stoicism, bits of dunning kruger and often found in a sort of warped tribal-socipathy, where outgroup members are seen as disposable.
I think of it as akin to hypo-aspergers/hyper-oxytocin with equivalent societal dysfunction.

#7 Expanded a bit, this piece would make an excellent book.
