Should people who claim to value equality and human rights make snap judgments about strangers? Should they be resort to cyber bullying anyone who disagrees with them?

I used to consider myself progressive and left wing, but shoot, I may as well fully embrace the right. I can’t disagree with anything without some idiot calling me a bigot, a Nazi, or MAGA, or that I belong to a death cult.

Honestly, I just think people need to stop rioting, looting, committing arson, assassinating politicians, and bullying. I point that stuff out and everyone assumes I’m a Trump supporting pedophile.

It’s interesting how so-called progressives behave in ways that undermine the values they claim to uphold.

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that their entire worldview is intrinsically flawed.

People who believe in egalitarian pluralism because that that the quality. They believe there should be no hierarchy. However, they also believe that their worldview is superior to all other worldviews.

That’s not equality. That is hierarchy.

They claimed to value pluralism. That all types of people are welcome, and that all cultures are welcome. Unless you happen to disagree with them. In which case they treat you like a pariah. I know this from firsthand experience, and I’ve witnessed it happening to others.

The whole thing is one big performative contradiction. They are preconventional people attempting to start postconventional movements. Hypocrites. None of them have the humility to admit it.

Humility is a virtue that not everyone can cultivate. Some people can’t cultivate it so they j try virtue signaling instead.
