Oh dear... I'm not saying or implying Leftism is "evil" because of how I feel about it. Or that I merely disagree with it.

I'm saying Leftism is evil because it is.

For the sake of argument, I'll dispense with my assertions that Leftism is ideological cancer, because Leftism is a deeply hateful anti-human/misanthropic ideology built on a foundation of envy, and then worse, it cloaks itself in a paper-thin veneer of "social and economic justice" to disguise itself.

So, to help you understand better, I'll just toss all of that right out the window because it's easy enough to get lost in the weeds and you can claim that all those assertions I'd make are subjective ones based on how I feel.

So, fine. I concede this. Just write all that off as "subjective opinion" on my part.

I will instead assert that Leftism is objectively and factually evil, because it holds the world record for human body-count/deaths by orders of magnitude over any other ethos or ideology you care to name. These are all unnatural non-combat deaths of human beings through political violence, oppression, or famine/mismanagement. And the Left has a tally, from 1900 onwards... in excess of 100 million people.

I certainly understand that one might wish to engage a little moral relativism for the sake of polite cocktail conversation, but does your moral relativism extend so far as to excuse the murder of over 100 million human beings?

And no, this is not hyperbole, just history.

And this is what I'm alluding to when I state that intentions rarely matter, but outcomes always do.

Now... is this an excuse to let the Right off the hook? Of course not. They're a pack of deeply hypocritical top-tier asshats. If the Right actually acted on it's stated ideology of zero coercion free-markets, minarchy, and maximum individual liberty, they'd be almost de-facto Libertarians. And right now, the "Right" isn't even arguably "the Right" anymore. Under Trump and MAGA it's delved into Postliberal bullshit that is arguably almost Peronism.

But, that said, in my critique of the Right, it's somewhat inherent that I will confidently assert, the Left is even worse, and always has been.

And having said this, you can either accept this, and try to deal with it. Or, you can just get indignant and come up with whatever rationalizations, compartmentalizations, and cognitive dissonance you need. I mean, you're in good company, I just described 90% of Reddit.
