Luckily the modern left is the only group of people who let their prejudices dictate their perceptions.

I never said they had a monopoly, but I'm not going let them off the hook just because they've got competition. Their displays of that repulsive tendency also clash more harshly with their rhetoric.


Well enjoy your endless conflict, because what you describe as your biggest issues with the modern left is simply a trait (some would call a flaw) that affects all people. I would work on something more concrete when it comes to your issues with a political leaning if I were you.


The difference is that the left's entire shtick is about not being 'prejudiced' against individuals because of their group identities.

I.e. not assuming they have slimy, horrible negative personal qualities because of the group they belong to.

When this is your 'thing' and main claim to legitimacy, it hits harder when you're hypocritical about it.


The difference being the modern right wears their prejudices on their sleeve, whereas the modern left hypocritically denounces prejudice, and then deploys prejudice at the drop of a hat when it supports their cause. See: discussions about whiteness, about men, about hetereosexuals, about Christians, about "Karens", Trump's weight, etc.
