"I respect the right to come and go"
A Marxist defending his opinion on (uncontrolled) immigration, especially to countries with a "white majority" ("oppressive"), while pretending not to see the same right being completely prohibited in his beloved countries, like Cuba...
Summary of the pseudo-intellectual (especially the "leftist"): abusive use of a pedantic way of speaking and writing that makes him feel smarter than the average person and wiser than the most intelligent person.
Either you are a collectivist or you are intelligent.
A very collectivist individual is the human equivalent of an ant or bee: a more nominal than integral individual.
A less appreciated trait of a highly rational individual is their ability to not deviate from what is most important, in terms of realism, starting with the most basic knowledge, such as geography and psychology, since these are also the most influential and constant areas of knowledge in human life.
Human intelligence is malleable, but its malleability is, obviously, limited; after all, there is nothing in this world, or within this world, that has infinite potential for development...
Are the "normies" of the new generations becoming more stupid nowadays because of the very process of cultural stupidification (or discouragement of intelligence/beyond the process of dysgenics in which the less intelligent have generated more descendants than the more intelligent)?? Or have they always been more limited and the previous culture simply didn't make this explicit (precisely because it emphasized intelligence, but not in all instances)??
Not knowing certain basic subjects, such as geography, does not necessarily make someone stupid "in everything," an easy and popular association on social media nowadays (year 2025/2026...). But knowing very little about geography is a likely example of how rational intelligence, our compass for realism, is underdeveloped or poorly stimulated compared to its ideal state.
"Objective morality does not exist in an empirical sense."
Objective morality exists, in its essence, in every living being that seeks its own survival and begins, a priori, with the minimally conscious or objective desire not to self-exterminate. And this desire may or may not be extended to other individuals...
While the right is much more diverse in its subgroups of thought or ideology, the left is much more compact and homogeneous, quite typical of sects or cults, in which its members are easily identified by their highly stereotyped or collectivized patterns of thought. No wonder, since the right represents the majority of the human population...
Those who most criticize stereotyping are precisely the ones who stereotype the most, including themselves.
The feeling of being alone: in the pain of disappointment, frustration, or any sadness, is very bad, but it can easily be reversed into a feeling of relief when one realizes that one is not alone or even that there are those in worse situations.
Perhaps the biggest difference between a genuine progressive and a rotten progressive, a false or very insufficient progressive, is that the former does not exhibit a chronic selectivity of empathy with situations, contexts, and causes, induced by ideology or politics.
The "left" doubles down.
Again, regarding what I've already commented on, the cycle of human stupidity, in which senseless ideologies have been the main protagonists.
Consider the example of the justice system: in the past, only the wealthiest escaped punishment for their crimes in Brazil. Now, with the introduction of "anti-punitive" approaches, lower-class criminals are also being released, even after committing numerous crimes. This is doubling down. It's the same as making a problem worse instead of solving it.
The average leftist is ONLY a pedant, intellectually speaking. The average rightist, at least, is not FAKE, just a nobody, yet still functionally intelligent in a very basic aspect. The average leftist tends to be intellectually dysfunctional.
