Guilt is a genuine feeling of self-reproach experienced because we sense we’ve committed a wrong, and we feel it even if no one else knows what we’ve done it is conscience pain. Note here that “shame” is (in the sense used above) a very different phenomenon than guilt. This won’t surprise readers of The New American, which has published essays such as 2020’s “ Violence, Inc.: A Leftist Enterprise.” The piece quotes, for example, hard-left ex-CNN host Reza Aslan as saying that Donald Trump supporters “must be eradicated from society.”īertrams and Krispenz also “found that individuals high in LWA tended to have high levels of neurotic narcissism, which means they cared strongly about what others thought of them, experienced high levels of shame, and had a strong need for admiration,” PsyPost further relates. Not surprisingly, the researchers found that someone high in LWA tendencies may “endorse the use of violence to reach their own political goals.” In fact, they wrote at Current Psychology, citing others’ scholarship, some “left-wingers are more likely than right-wingers to endorse harming or even murdering their political opponents.” As for “antihierarchical aggression,” left-wing violence began with the bloody French Revolution (1789) and continues to this day, perpetrated by groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Of course, leftists’ dogmatism and censorship efforts are notorious, the latter being the reason industrialist Elon Musk bought Twitter.
They are “anticonventionalism (i.e., the absolute endorsement of progressive moral values), top-down censorship (i.e., the preference for the use of governmental and institutional authority to suppress any speech that is considered as offensive and intolerant), and antihierarchical aggression (i.e., the motivation to use force and aggression to overthrow established hierarchies),” quotes the two researchers as saying. The phenomenon they studied is called “left-wing authoritarianism” (LWA), and they related its indicators. The study authors, Ann Krispenz, a postdoctoral associate and Alex Bertrams, the head of the Educational Psychology Lab at the University of Bern, published their research in March in the journal Current Psychology. Moreover, the researchers found that authoritarian-minded left-wingers often don’t care a whit about the altruism and “social justice” they trumpet, but instead “use political activism to endorse or exercise violence against others to satisfy their own ego-focused needs.” In fact, a new study informs, Stalin has much psychopathic (and narcissistic) company among leftists, including among today’s variety. Yet the people who help vault such tyrants to power - sometimes pejoratively called “useful idiots” - are well-meaning but naive sorts, right? Perhaps not always. It’s well known that left-wing Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was a psychopath, a dark status that led to his exterminating 20 million human beings. Article audio sponsored by The John Birch Society
