This is a summary of Evan Sayets theory and I think it's incredibly useful for us pedes in understanding them.
The modern liberal (progressive) has prescribed to a philosophy that believes indiscrimination is not only a moral imperative, but the ONLY moral imperative. They have opted to become utterly indiscriminate and it's the only standard in which they live by.
Unfortunately the ability to discriminate between different ideas (i.e. discriminant shopper) is the essence of rational human thought.
So anyone who DOES discriminate and believes some ideas are better or worse than others, are guilty of having committed the same crime as Hitler and thus, are morally equivalent.
This is why Bush is Hitler. This is why Trump is Hitler. This is why Giuliani is Hitler. This is why you and I are racist, homophobic, transphobic, bigots who hate everyone.
So in their eyes, were not just wrong, we're morally repugnant to them because we're morally equal to Hitler.
Even if they could, they don't even have to consider our positions or values because they KNOW they're morally correct.
Would you argue about Hitlers social security policy? No you'd fight Hitler.
And so they work non stop to do the opposite of what we discriminators do which is why they inevitably and invariably end up siding with wrong over right, evil over good, and the behaviors that lead to failure over those which lead to success.
Indiscriminatness of thought does not lead to indiscriminantness of policy.

What do you guys think?
Christopher Hitchens brother, Peter, said pretty much the same thing. They have the moral opinion. If you disagree, you are de facto immoral. He used the example of how he believes, for certain "heinous crimes", the death penalty is appropriate. The Liberals he brings this up with won't even begin a debate. What's to debate? They're horrified and Peter is automatically an evil human being beneath their contempt!
I'd like to add, they've deliberately abandoned reason and embraced lies. This inevitably leads to insanity. Look around. I rest my case.
They consider us subhuman, thereby committing Hitler's very crime, the same one of which they accuse us -- is this the "original sin", the foundational, original projection from which all their other endless projection stems? From believing others are subhuman to boxcars entering death camps is a very short step, so beware!
I'm deadly serious: these very people will dress in Nazi-like uniforms and will patrol, with military rifles, the perimeters of the death camps in which we are being held, discussing with each other what awful, evil human beings we are, even as they shove us into gas chambers -- men, women and children, including infants. And they will NEVER see their murderous hypocrisy. Never.
And finally, people like Steven Crowder and Mark Dice have discovered these very same people do NOT know who Hitler actually was, what Nazism or the Holocaust really were, and have discovered that they don't know how many died in WWII. I think it may have been Mark Dice who, during college forums, routinely asks that question and discovered the highest estimate he got was 1 million deaths! They actually think maybe a few thousand died during WWII. The college kids are stunned when he tells them 53 million and still counting.
Remember all that next time one of them screeches that you're "literally Hitler" (they apparently don't know the definition of "literally", either).
Nice. I've only watched Christopher Hitchens and avoided his brother because I was a rabid anti-Christian (or so I thought) and anti-conservative back then but was also a dumbfuck.
Turns out I'm just rabidly anti-dogma and a contrarian to anyone who thinks they have the moral authority over others which is the left now and has been for decades... I was just hoodwinked.
Sounds like great minds have explored this idea.
THANK YOU for mentioning Peter Hitchens... Now I've got hundreds of hours of interviews, books and studying to do to catch up. Fuck me!
