To be a leftist means that:
You are in favor of the Arabs.
You are also in favor of homosexuals.
The Arabs execute homosexuals.
You are in favor of the victim.
But you are also in favor of the criminals and fight for their rights much more than you fight for the rights of .... their victims.
You are against killing.
But are in favor of killing babies inside the mother's womb [even though there is no bigger victim than a defenseless fetus].
You believe women who claim that they were abused and fight for their rights.
Unless they are Jewish or Arab. Female Jewish victims of extreme sexual abuse are ignored [as per the recent massacre in Israel]. You also love Arabs whose women are fifth class and are often beaten. A recent report by UN Women estimates that at least 37% [that is tens of millions] of women in Arab countries have experienced some level of domestic violence. You love people who notoriously beat their wives.
You are in favor of free speech. Unless you against what they believe. Then it is "hate speech" or a "micro-agression" and you have no right to say it.

What is leftism?
Leftism is the attempt to destroy the past — every value and every institution, the good as well as what it regards as the bad.
That is why leftists, by definition, hate conservatism. Conservatism seeks to conserve the best from the past. The Left seeks to destroy the past, including the best.
The first of the modern left-wing revolutions, the French Revolution, quite consciously sought to destroy every major institution and value of French society — not just the monarchy but God, religion, the legal system, traditional notions of good and evil, the calendar, the old way of telling time, the old weights and measures, and even the names of the days of the week. In other words, the past. Just like the Left in contemporary America, the leftists of the French Revolution toppled statues — in their case, the statues of every king of France.
The next major left-wing revolution, the Russian, did the same. As the Soviet dissident joke went, "In he Soviet Union the future is known; it's the past which is always changing."
Now you can begin to understand leftism.
In a very real sense, today's leftism began in the 1960s with the infamous clarion call, "Never trust anyone over 30." That phrase meant nothing less than "value nothing from the past." Precisely what all leftism has been about — from France under its revolutionaries to Russia under the Bolsheviks to China under Mao to America under the Left.
The Left destroys everything it touches.
Whatever its noble-sounding rhetoric, the Left stands for nothing and therefore builds nothing (other than state power). Aside from state power, it only destroys.
Leftism in music, art, sculpture, and architecture destroyed everything beautiful and noble that had been created over all the preceding centuries.
It is destroying the universities, the high schools, and the elementary schools.
It is destroying science. More and more medical schools, for example, no longer speak of "pregnant women" but of "birthing persons." The American Medical Association has come out in opposition to listing the sex of newborns on their birth certificates; children, the AMA holds, will eventually decide whether they are male or female, neither or both.
Like the French revolutionaries, it has redefined moral categories. It has substituted class and racial categories for moral ones. Good and evil have been replaced by black and white, male and female, rich and poor.
It is destroying the ideal of the nuclear family — a married man and woman with children. The Left has made war on "heteronormativity" and has redefined marriage.
And most telling — even the French Revolution did not conceive of this break with the past — the Left is working to destroy the distinction between man and woman.
Days before the 2008 presidential election, then-candidate Barack Obama told a wildly cheering crowd, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
That's all the Left does: fundamentally transform. Destroying everything it touches is not a byproduct of leftism. It is its aim.
