Leftist Haters Gotta Hate, Hate, Hate

Understanding left-wing authoritarianism: Relations to the dark personality traits, altruism, and social justice commitment

Abstract

In two pre-registered studies, we investigated the relationship of left-wing authoritarianism with the ego-focused trait of narcissism. Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism. Further, as individuals with leftist political attitudes can be assumed to be striving for social equality, we expected left-wing authoritarianism to also be positively related to prosocial traits, but narcissism to remain a significant predictor of left-wing authoritarianism above and beyond those prosocial dispositions. We investigated our hypotheses in two studies using cross-sectional correlational designs. Two nearly representative US samples (Study 1: N = 391; Study 2: N = 377) completed online measures of left-wing authoritarianism, the Dark Triad personality traits, and two variables with a prosocial focus (i.e., altruism and social justice commitment). In addition, we assessed relevant covariates (i.e., age, gender, socially desirable responding, and virtue signaling). The results of multiple regression analyses showed that a strong ideological view, according to which a violent revolution against existing societal structures is legitimate (i.e., anti-hierarchical aggression), was associated with antagonistic narcissism (Study 1) and psychopathy (Study 2). However, neither dispositional altruism nor social justice commitment was related to left-wing anti-hierarchical aggression. Considering these results, we assume that some leftist political activists do not actually strive for social justice and equality but rather use political activism to endorse or exercise violence against others to satisfy their own ego-focused needs. We discuss these results in relation to the dark-ego-vehicle principle.

I could have told them that; the faux altruism and commitment to social justice are just tools used by the Left to put a veneer of decency on what is entirely unjustifiable. In the end they do it because they are full of hatred and are self-aggrandizing.

David Horowitz will tell you that. Horowitz was a red-diaper baby, raised as a Communist, and he spent his youth as part of the New Left, advancing the Revolution in the Sixties and Seventies. He awakened because he saw what the revolutionaries were really like; it was never about helping the people it was claiming to help but about using them as tools; it was always about indulging hatred and narcissism. Horowitz left the movement and is now considered an extreme right-winger. The Left hates him because he knows them and knows how they function.

Current psychology is a peer-reviewed journal, not a blog.

The authors of this study dubbed this the "dark-ego-vehicle principle.” "Altruism" and "Social Justice" are mere vehicles to indulge their pathologis.

Back in the early nineties I briefly flirted with the idea of getting a teaching certificate. I wasn't having any luck in my chosen field (Sovietology) nor any luck with any other decent job (I aced the Air Traffic Controller's exam but there was a moratorium on hiring so that was that) so thought maybe I'd be a school teacher.

Being a white kid from the suburbs I naturally went to an historic all black college to acquire one.

I already had a degree; I wanted the certificate and I wanted it cheap. This was the cheapest college where I could acquire one. I was onne of only three white students in my class.

I never did get the certificate; couldn't stand the stupidity of the education courses. But I did have a older black professor who had been a fireman and he and I had a discussion about the problems in the black community. He argued that the main problem was the girls, not the boys. They all grew up without fathers and they all desperately wanted a daddy. This made them angry, and guaranteed the perpetuation of this cycle as men would impregnate them but not stay around.

That was then, before divorce was as bad as now in the white community and when out-of-wedlock births were still frowned upon. Now the white women mostly grow up in broken homes too and are now very angry and we increasingly see the kind of sociopathology mentioned in this paper among white women (crazy white hoe's). The most hateful, spiteful, radical leftist these days are white women.

Granted there are many cray, hateful black women too, but they seem less affected than the white ones. But then you look at Whoopie Goldberg and Joy Behar and the like and you wonder if that is true.

At any rate this just gives us scientific evidence to support what we have long believed; Leftists have dark, twisted, angry personalities and they become Leftist to indulge their worst personality traits.

In short, Conservatives are the ones who love our fellow man, the Lefties are nothing but haters. A hater's gotta hate, hate, hate! (to quote a dimwit liberal named Taylor swift).

The very fact the Southern Poverty Law Center had to pay racists they could tar the Right with is further evidence of this fact; they wanted to gin up hatred and acrimony. Would a Conservative ever think to do that? No he would not.

This also explains the love of collectivism; they seek the approval of the group because in their hearts they know they are sick and twisted. It's part of why so many trannies are committing mass murder these days.

We would have all sorts of this kind of research if Psychology was not one of the "sciences" wholly owned by the Left. BTW I fear this may be the last peer reviewed paper these researchers ever get published; we'll be seeing less and less of them as time goes by. The Left hates exposure more than anything else and will destroy anyone who shines the light on their twisted minds.

1 Ah! You, too, had a black, well, advisor at least. When I was in high school I had a black mentor, one of the men who was (among other things) a disc jockey at the brand-new radio station in my town. He was particularly into jazz, and so was I, and we gravitated towards each other. This was before blacks went crazy because of LBJ's laws -- 1958 or so. Long story for which I don't have time here, except to say that I dearly hope to meet him in Heaven.

2 You'll have to tell me that story some day Dana.
