Leftoid Egocentrism

February 7, 2013 by CH


I’ve spent a lot of time in the company of leftoid SWPLs, liking some, disliking others, and I’ve spent nearly the same amount of time in the company of non-SWPLs and “blood n soil n family” types, again liking and disliking some. Here’s what I’ve found to be almost universally true:

Non-leftoids — i.e. conservatives, apolitical drop-outs, right leaners, sincere flyover country independents, anti-scenester hipsters, commonsensical libertarians, earthy ethnics, and generally kind-hearted people who don’t like to argue politics or ideology at every turn — are exceedingly tolerant of leftoid SWPLs in their social group, even of the loony, attention whoring type of leftoid SWPL who can’t stop regaling a group with his or her political or social views. In fact, many non-leftoids go out of their way to befriend and include the few leftoids in social bonding rituals.

Leftoid SWPLs, in stark contrast, are exceedingly intolerant of anyone not a leftoid SWPL. This intolerance grows in proportion to the leftoid SWPL composition of a social group, and to the transparency with which the non-leftoids in the group adhere to their beliefs and world views. I have seen leftoid SWPLs WALK OUT of rooms, mid-conversation, because they experienced an uncomfortable reflex when some wholly unobtrusive non-leftoid let slip a sliver of marginal crimethink.

My conclusion: Leftoid SWPLs are among the most intolerant, self-righteous, egotistical pricks in the world, right up there with the Tutsis. For a sub-race of people that has spent generations propagandizing the sanctity of tolerance, they sure have a blind spot to their own non-incluuuuuuuusive behavior.

The question is… why? Why is this the state of affairs, and not some other state of affairs?

My answer is that I believe leftoid SWPLism is partly genetically inherited, and that this inheritance carries along with it a propensity for supreme, infantile egocentrism. Rank egocentrism is a child-like psychology of solipsistic, feminine essence that expresses from a deeply rooted insecurity about one’s status in her immediate world. The leftoid SWPL is an aggro, in-group curator who religiously polices the boundary of her carefully cultivated social scene, *precisely* because she is unsure of her mental footing and of the viability of her group should it be exposed to thought contamination. I say “she”, because it is typically the female SWPLs who are the most aggrieved and intolerant.

The leftoid SWPL is no different in psychology and temperament than the boogeyman Evangelicals and Jesus Freaks who populate her overactive imagination. Their numbers are large enough in the blue cities that they have reached a tipping point where their exclusivity and intolerance and hatred have become self-reinforcing. Their megachurch is the MSM newspaper op-ed, to which they dutifully attend every Sunday to read, recite and genuflect in solemn prayer and soul-nourishing thanks.

I like the SWPL lifestyle — they have done some things right — but many of them are simply grotesque robo-human caricatures one would be ill-disposed to assist in a moment of crisis. They are good for house parties and pleasant, polysyllabic banter, and that’s about it. And their women are thinner than non-SWPLs. So there’s that, and that’s an important thing.

The old saw that liberals love humanity but hate humans while conservatives hate humanity but love humans is proven accurate over and over, each time I am in the one or the other’s company. The tolerant are those who are more socially aware — more empathic, if you will — of the feelings of those within their sphere of social influence. The intolerant live in a pinched id box where the only awareness is of one’s relative status ranking and of the gratification of one’s self-glorified ego.

I prefer the human-lovers over humanity-lovers. After all, humans are right here, right now, part of my reality and my experience, while humanity is an abstract entity that does not love me or receive my love, smile with me, cooperate with me, or share fun times with me. It may not be the proper attitude of the utopian progressivist (doomed to failure as she is), but it sure makes poolside time a lot more enjoyable.

Given the growing intolerance of leftoid SWPLs and the unconcealed loathing of the ruling class for middle class whites, and the apparent ignorance of the irony inherent in their behavior, I predict that chunks of the USA are destined to part ways along internal fault lines that are presently unknowable. There will be a secession, perhaps not in the traditional way, but a seceding will happen, in one form or another. It is inevitable. Some will argue it will be a continuation of the Civil War, the war that never really ended because the vanquished stuck around in close proximity to the victors, despite efforts to salt their earth. I don’t know about that. I do know strange winds are blowing, the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and the center cannot hold. The ego is the most powerful force in the cosmos, and it will not go quietly to lick its wounds before a cataclysm unleashes its dying fury.

I too am unsure what an SWPL is. And what manner of mythical creature is this "commonsensical libertarian?"

In all seriousness, a lot of libertarian principles are based on common sense. I think the free market principles are probably the best example of that. But on the flip side of that is the reality of corporate influence on laws and regulations making the idea of a free market seem naive and even crazy in many peoples' minds.

As for the article,

Interesting and definitely provocative. Lots of generalizations but I don't think any politically active person is 100% tolerant. To say they are more intolerant than any other group is probably true in some respects, but what they are intolerant about will be different than say the Neo-Nazis (which would be a group that the SWPL's would be intolerant of as an example).

This screams inferiority complex to me.

My experience with some libertarians has shown a rigidity and refusal to compromise, a sense of superiority that theirs is the only true way, and a general contempt for anyone who disagrees because anyone who does not see things their way is ignorant and not as in-the-know as they. Not at all saying you are one of these people but they are out there.

that all may be true, but their positions are based in common sense

I was a delegate for Ron Paul, I know of and am at times the person you speak of...but that isn't any different than a republican or democrat

I really hope that libertarians can be very different the republicrats and democans.

polaris_x

i would say lefties are becoming increasingly more intolerant ... i mean ... crikey ... when the right is championed by the likes of sarah palin, donald trump, michelle bachman, etc. ... what choice does one have? ... it probably stretches both ways ...

this blog post and view point doesn't surprise me ... i'm not sure if intolerance is the word but we are a society that is increasingly more and more ignorant ... and what makes it worse is that we have become increasingly unable to think for ourselves ... the powers that be have effectively indoctrinated the masses into this partisan divide that is borderline absurd ... the stupid are becoming stupider ... and blogs like this prove it ...

They are different in their policy ideas that is for certain, but not so much in their actions on how to make policy happen I am afraid. They, and I know I have, a propensity for the negative on the ideas of others rather than the positives of my own and that comes across as pompus when you disagree with 95% of the populations

I don't think the two main parties would paint libertarians as crazy if there wasn't something to their ideas

I'm very glad bigdvs clarified the SWPL acronym.
Could it be that east coaters made acronyms so chic?
