Leftism is a Childish Belief System

 I have always believed that Leftists were, emotionally, children. I have modified that belief slightly: They are extremely insecure children.

• They believe that everything must be "fair".
• They are obsessed with "bullies".
• They think that other people should give them free stuff.
• They don't want to give other people their stuff.
• They are unable to think ahead to possible consequences of their actions.
• They don't like to follow other peoples' rules.
• Their rules must be obeyed.
• They'll lie right to your face, no matter how obvious it is that they're lying.
• They get upset when you point out their lies
• They cannot stand being told that they're wrong.
• They get extremely upset and resort to name-calling when they are losing an argument.
• They think that everyone should have the same amount of everything.
• They think that it's OK if they have more than other people.
• They will do anything to gain the approval of their peers.
• They insist that they are unique, although they are clones of their peers.
• They will call you names - as long as you pose no physical threat to them.
• They think that if we're nice to people, they'll be nice back to us.
• They can't stand being told what to do (unless it's by their friends/superiors).
• They don't learn from their mistakes.
• They change the rules in the middle of the game.
• They really, really suck at logic.
• They pretend to like things just to be accepted by their peers.
• They never take the blame for anything bad.
• They always take the credit for anything good.
• They use words that they don't really understand (i.e. "rights", "ignorant").
• They get a thrill out of being "naughty".
• They are envious/resentful of anyone who is superior to them in any way.
• They can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
• They think that it's OK to just take something if they want it.
• They don't really understand how money/economics works.
• They don't understand the phrase, "We can't afford it". They just want it.
• They don't want to hear anything that disagrees with their beliefs.
• They believe that anyone who disagrees with them is stupid/ignorant.
• They say, "But that's different!" when they make the same mistakes as other people.
• They have no grasp of human nature.
• They don't understand why they can't just do whatever they want to do.
• They believe that they are the center of the universe.
• They don't really care about their political issues. "Raising awareness" is just another way of screaming, "Pay attention to me!"
• They whine. Constantly. Incessantly.
• They don't understand that respect is earned, not their birthright.
• They get absolutely irate when they're laughed at.
