“ the deep, psychological roots of leftist activism appears to be an unwillingness to accept reality as it is, a morbid obsession with its defects, and paranoid tendency to exaggerate them.”

Edward Fesser, the post liberal order Substack

And another chestnut from the good professor, his definition of woke:

“ a paranoid delusional hyper-egalitarian mindset that seems to see oppression and injustice where they do not exist or greatly exaggerate them where they do exist.”

More:

“ In general, wokeness like Catherism - the gnostic heresy in southern Europe from 1143 to 1321 - is essentially about the radical subversion of normal human life in the name of a paranoid metaphysical delusion. It is fuelled by a seething envy and resentment directed against the natural order of things”.

Sounds about right to me!

"It is fueled by a seething envy and resentment directed against the natural order of things." Great summary—that's exactly what we've seen in Penny's case.

The prosecutor who actually tried the case is a Bolshevik. Fits the profile.
