First, Superiority. Then, Hate.

As a soul is overcome by vanity, demons of hatred enter. “The fact that I am a superior being means that others are inferior to me.” emerges in the Leftist mind. It’s an attractive thought to many. We may consider that the thought is actually alive. It is an evil spiritual being that will spread its tendrils throughout any mind that lets it do so.

The demons of hate build houses, sometimes, whole subdivisions of them, in our minds. All are constructed on the foundation of vanity: “You are a superior being to whom others are inferior.” As the leftist runs into opposition, vestigial desires of wanting to “help” the benighted and ignorant are replaced with the urge to simply get rid of them. This is done by driving them into poverty, childlessness, gulags, and eventual extinction.

At least one global religion has made their superiority-based hatred into a basic tenet of their faith. Their theological conclusion is simple: “The infidels must be wiped out.” They readily join with less motivated haters of the Left in order to wipe out all those who do not share their need to feel superior.

There is a universal law at work. The more superior a person feels himself to be, the more he hates. Since hatred makes the mind unable to work properly, he becomes increasingly less able to live in a world beyond his immediate control. Once enough demons of hatred take over his thoughts, he can only get rid of his own comparative inadequacies by eliminating all those who are better than himself.
