Leftism, religiously, is the rejection of original sin under the pretense that our flaws are only apparent because of the circumstances of the world and that ultimately, we can be rid of it entirely through the correct collective agreement.
The belief causes you to act as if it is already gone (so, pride - absence of humility, anger towards being seen as sinful; flawed).
You your critics as that which perpetuates sin's power, and so attest its existence to their continual support of it in the human heart. Meritocracy is condemned because it fundamentally judges based on this system of functioning successfully while "flawed." So it is illegitimate because it defines what "flaw" is while "flaw" is imaginary.
It is a very powerful snowballing phenomenon once you've bought in.
Because everyone is susceptible to shame for their flaws and pride for their gifts, this mentality is very seductive, no matter your political or religious affiliation. You are always susceptible because it utilizes your uniqueness to make it personally legitimate.
In fantasy the antagonist often offers to free you of your pain if only you give it to them. What follows is a deconstruction of the world as it is (a promise to do so), and the manifestation of a dream, your deepest desires - your Self.
Similarly, cults offer the same promise, being much more clear that it is >you< that you are returning to, or realizing.
Both make you question your identity so that the seductive one becomes the ONLY one.

I’ve gained almost 26K followers overnight on X. The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming in the best way possible 🫶 WOW.
I want to show the world how insidious gender ideology is, save kids from this madness, and educate people about the permanent consequences of medical transition.
I am what’s known as a detransitioner. I spent 7 years identifying as a man and medically transitioning. In June 2025, I announced that I would be detransitioning back to my actual female sex.
My life has never been the same since walking away from trans. Look at how profoundly unhappy I look as a “trans man.” That’s not me. That’s me hiding from myself.
Embracing womanhood and biological reality has cost me everything. I’d do it all over again. There’s nothing worth more than truth, reality, and embracing who God made you 🙏
In the leftist esoteric/occult way, it's that subjectivity is divine by contrast of its visions birthed antithetically to the suffering and pain in reality
Because subjectivity is divine, the wrong ones are powerful enough to stop them (they must be seen that way to remain consistent to their own belief of power), so they must be eliminated or reformed through the suffering that would awaken the right consciousness
Then 100% belief will purify the world through the shared vision that creates reality
I often use the abstraction of "zip files" and "keys" when referring to the data that your brain contains.
There are situations where I feel like I have forgotten everything I've learned about in moments of heightened neuroticism; challenging myself to remember it all at once.
And then passively while writing a description of leftist ideas I accidentally start describing dialectical materialism in my own words without meaning to.

This is your rank-and-file activist. They don't need to understand the underlying theory, much less its esoteric origins. They absorb the movement's slogans, language, moral outlook, and group identity. Shared grievances bind them together; affirmation rewards commitment, and dissent risks shame or exclusion. Their activism becomes both a moral cause and a source of belonging.
They learn to see the existing order through the lens of oppression and liberation. The institutions, traditions, and inherited hierarchies of Western civilization come to be fundamentally illegitimate and obstacles to human progress. Defending them becomes morally suspect; challenging them becomes virtuous.
Unlike some of the professors teaching them, who imagine themselves guiding the new order, rank-and-file activists need not expect power or privilege. They believe their struggle will bring justice and liberation. The movement gives them belonging, purpose, moral standing, and the conviction that they're on the right side of history.

We have a mythology that has to be busted, and it's everywhere. "The Left" did not murder Charlie Kirk. To all appearances, a deranged Leftist did, plausibly as a result of agitation in chat servers by unknown agitators, who might or might not have been Leftists. Individual agency still matters.
You can point to the fact that he was misled in his thinking in a deranged Leftist milieu or to the fact that a lot of deranged Leftists were and are too positive and even enthusiastic about that event, but it doesn't change the agency of who did the act.
Militating against a group or an entire political side is still wrong, even when they're this deranged. Deradicalization of individuals in or near that milieu rather than counter-radicalization is still the better path. Any individuals involved can and should be prosecuted and tried. One currently is. If others are identified, they should be too. Indeed, they must be for justice to be served.
Getting this issue twisted is consequential and wrong. Things are too fragile and heated already to be sloppy on this.

This is how to get a Communist proletarian revolution going in the West:
1. Create a proletarian class by making people dependent on government welfare and importing unlimited Third-World poor.
2. Bankrupt the welfare state to create the crisis.
3. Mobilize the disenfranchised by funding and organizing the movement.
4. Overthrow the government and existing social order.
5. Bring a Communist “utopia” to earth, where a new ruling class emerges while everyone else is equally poor and unfree.
The new ruling class is the Globalist elites!
🇫🇷 France's protests are turning into something MUCH BIGGER than a weekend of unrest.
Huge crowds are flooding the streets over soaring living costs and concerns about democracy.
In Paris alone, police counted 110,000 demonstrators.
And the movement isn't winding down.
Protest organizers are already building toward a nationwide GENERAL STRIKE on November 5.
What started as street protests is becoming a sustained challenge to the French government.

I keep telling you. These aren’t “liberals”, they’re not “democrats”…the new wave of psychos are all out communists. They are violent and self-destructive animals who want to burn down society
This is also how you emotionally manipulate people btw
The phrase "gaslighting" gets thrown around and it's a little apt but fundamentally what you do is get someone to cease understanding things their way and tout that the way you understand them lives up to their values better
Critical Theory ultimately has two purposes, as best I can tell and boil it down.
1) Deracinate a population
2) Radicalize that population
Deracination means pulling up from its roots. It's making people CRITICAL of where they came from and who they are so they become rootless, ideologically and spiritually homeless because they're CRITICAL (hate) their home.
Radicalization takes that criticality and turns it angry and revolutionary. The point is to make the rootless people want change, anything but who they are and where they came from.
I was just explaining to someone how I miss the feeling of obtaining/owning music. Finding a download of some obscure electronic song i heard on the radio or WoW videos and getting it to work on my iPod made it feel special to have on walks/car rides
Extremely painful and exhausting - strong feeling of helplessness too.
When my friend identified as trans it felt like navigating a minefield, the identity is suspended by the thing you desired most, a profound sense of social acceptance.
Love for who they really are feels like a threat to the new person who obtained that 'acceptance,' but that love wins in the end.
Proper tact is necessary though.

Its painful and exhausting to watch a family member or loved one reject themselves for an ideology based on feelings.
I wish I hadn't been told not to listen to others when I identified as trans and that I could have heard the truth. Trans relies on echo chambers.
