The social engineering is fascinating. There's something about the "spirit" of it that has been become part of the Leftist mindset. Whereas they preach tolerance and relativism and even nihilism, they're the most intolerant, sanctimonious, rigid absolutists ever.

When was the last time you heard a Leftist say something like, "Well, it's okay if we disagree," or "Don't worry about that, I'll just take care of it for you," or "I'll try my best to get you what you want"? A Long time? Never?

That is, they don't need to be trained in sabotage to be a prick to you at the airline counter or customer service or the DMV. It all comes as naturally as breathing. They don't notice that they're doing it, nor that anyone is different.

But how did they get this way? My guess is that the victim (or savior) mentality has soaked into them completely over time. If they (or their proxies) are suffering, the cause is obviously that other people are violating the "rules" somehow, and this must be rectified and the offenders punished for their transgressions. Therefore, with whatever minute power they have they will do so. It's unquestionably the right thing to do.
