ANother, related one, is the compulson to degrade and humiliate and dehumanise.
They do not merely disagree, protest, critique - they want to simultaneously degrade and demonise. So they make out their opponents to be sexual perverts and mentally sub-human or devilishly demonic (the paradox is lost on them since the dehumanisation is the point).
Solzhenitsyn and others documented this extensively when reporting on the Soviet method of psychologcal strategy and tactics, others have written about the fascists ways of psychologically breaking their opponents. Today we notice these tactics among the left and the militant activists of their various pet identity group.
The phrase, 'her majesty's loyal opposotion' doesn't chime with the Left anymore. opposition to them is evil and/or subhuman. their rhetoric cofirms and reinforces that in their own minds in their every utterance. They are not debating democratic equals who are on their level but think and reason differenly, they are fighting evil demons. There is no 'loyal opposition', no recognised, shared foudation when you are battling evil demons. This requires their constant sexually, mental and moral dirtying, degrading and dehumanising those who oppose them.
There are honourable exceptions, some sober, rational voices can still be heard on the Left but they are over-shouted, over-snarled by the mob. It has always been like this. The irony here is thick enough to bottle. You're lamenting the supposed "dehumanisation" and "demonisation" tactics of the Left while defending a movement that worships a man credibly accused of rape, who brags about sexual assault, walks in on naked teenagers, and pals around with a convicted child trafficker. Spare us the high-minded lectures on civility and moral discourse. Lemme stop you there. There is no worship, thrre is no lamenting. There is no irony nor lectures. Try to reign in those rampant emotions, running away with the rhetorical bombast and hyperbole. Try again. Too afraid to address, just a limp wristed attempt to dismiss. Do better. "The more exquisite the packaging, the more dubious the content". That addresses your long-winded over-wrought posts. The only content is emotional distress, dressed up in erratic hyperbole and self-righteous preening. In short, it is a long-winded self-disclosure about your emotional distress and mania. You and creepy gweggy are sitting in Australian suburbs and are so consumed by 'Trump' as a talking point (that's all he is to you) that you notice almost nothing else about the world, or if yiou do, it is through your TDS lens. Trump is your dermatillomania. You cannot stop scratching. It consumes you, the scratching at your 'Trump'. It's long therefore bad and you'll ignore it. Why am I not surprised that you're intimidated by long things...
