People in this country don't realize how tyrannical the Left is. It is phenomenally intolerant of any views other than its own, and it must label them as bad, evil, malodorous in some way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm allowed to have my opinions as an American, but it seems the Left becomes very intolerant when you have an opinion other than what they state.
There's a certain amount of tyranny in all of us to some extent, and in some people it's much more developed than in others. It's a different balance which makes us all different.
A key to the mentality of the left is that it judges itself by its best intentions, and judges its opponents - America chief among them - by their worst deeds.
It's this upside-down world that we live in where we afford political correctness to the most intolerant group of individuals on the planet.
The scum of the People are most Tyrannical when they get the Power, and treat their Betters with the greatest Insolence.
The term 'the American Left' is as near to being meaningless or nonsensical as any term could really be in politics. It isn't really a force in politics anymore. And it would do well to ask itself why that is.
To understand the Left, one must understand that in its view the greatest evil is material inequality. The Left is more troubled by economic inequality than by evil as humanity has generally understood the term.
Nobody thinks that they're evil or bad, they think that they're doing the right thing.
In any society, there will be the whole spectrum of views. You will get the extremists on the far right and also the far left.
In the U.K. the far Right is a stain on society and there is a cultural resistance to it.
