This illustrates well the dangers of becoming possessed by an idea. We all do it. I think it is important for us all to realize are capacity for evil and tyranny. I didn't really appreciate it when I first heard it spoken, but someone once said to me, that even love can be a tyranny. In the name of compassion, feminism has transformed into an evil tyranny.
I'm skeptical of whether feminism was even born out of compassion, but be that as it may. Maybe it was.
But you're very much right. An entire book could be written about what you just said. I agree.
I think the whole left wing of politics is built on the psychological trait of compassion. They seek to love all, but in doing so, become a tyranny of love. Primarily this is through the group think of ideology. The right of the individual to have an idea of their own is lost.
The entire left wing of politics is built on the idea of it hurts to watch others hurt.
So, one could argue that it is purely selfish.
Add to that the idea that taxation is theft. And you have a recipe for evil.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
As an entire class, the left is bad with money. They don't know how to make it, and they don't know how to budget it. But, they have never gotten with the right on how to actually finance the helping of the poor, they have an attitude of just throw money at the problem. The lack of money is their entire isse.
