Every Leftist Cause Begins as Humanitarianism and Ends as Terrorism

...Every leftist cause is founded on empathy.

The quintessential leftist, no matter how much blood eventually spatters his hands, starts off by caring a great deal about other people. ...

... Genuine humanitarians can exhaust themselves caring too much. But those are the types of people who stay up nights helping others. Some of this type can be recruited into leftist movements, but the average leftist is a deeply insincere humanitarian who cares about others only as a vehicle for developing an identity and asserting it on a public stage.

Leftists genuinely do care a lot. ... As long as it fits the larger agenda of asserting their will over society from a moral high ground.

To a genuine humanitarian, the oppressed are an end, but to a leftist they are a means. A leftist cares a great deal about a coal miner until he votes for Trump or a black man until he runs as a Republican. ... It is not truly the workers and peasants, the transgenders and the terrorists, whom the leftist cares about. They humanize, articulate and personalize the revolutionary mandate whose purpose is not to save, but to destroy everything about a world that doesn't care as much.

The more the leftist cares, the worse the atrocities he can justify with his boundless caring. ...

This is very accurate.

It's how the left recruits the idealistic young: by weaponizing their natural human compassion for others.

It's quite evil.
