It is not easy to understand what the left -- as opposed to liberals -- stands for. If you ask a Christian what to read to learn the basics of Christianity, you will be told the Bible. If you ask a (religious) Jew, you will be told the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud. If you ask a Mormon, you will be told the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Ask a Muslim and you will be told the Quran.
But if you ask a leftist what one or two books you should read to understand leftism, every leftist will give you a different answer --

A deeper article than the title suggests. Read it.
Chaos + emotions

Dennis Prager is an incredibly wise man. Years ago, I heard him suggest that Jews should "preach what they practice."
I've been paying close attention ever since.

In some civilized countries, exploiting a child is criminal and condemned, especially a disabled child.

People used to run around in robes (probably still do) in Times Square shouting that "the world was coming to an end". We knew they were crazy, so we politely stepped past them. Only Leftists would invite the nutcases to bring their world view and lecture to the United Nations General Assembly and then the United States Congress.

Any leftist worth their salt would answer “Rules For Radicals” by Saul D. Alinsky. If there’s anyone reading these words who hasn’t read the leftist playbook by now, it’s never too late. Will explain why the rats in D.C. (and MSM) all sound insane.

What you see on display with the radical left is an emptiness of soul. We are created by God with a soul that seeks meaning and purpose from the Creator. Many reject the concept of God and seek to fulfill this desire with whatever makes sense to them. Rejection of an ultimate authority figure is a concept as old as time. Lucifer, son of the morning, would not accept his place in the universe and made the choice to usurp the authority of the Almighty. Due to his rebellion he was cast out of heaven with a third of the angels that sympathized with him. This was the first rebellion that is still bearing rotten fruit today. There will always be those who reject the authority of God and seek a man centered solution and they are increasing in number which means they are increasing in their zeal to become transcendent. It is a battle between the forces of good and evil and we see it escalating today to the point of unbelief. The brazen nature of their intolerance, deceitfulness, and the increased violence is great cause for concern. Once these radicals went down this path, there was no going back. They have declared war on any opposition. If you have been scratching your head and wondering why seemingly intelligent people can embrace this extreme progressive ideology, it is nothing more than their complete rebellion of God.

I actually feel very sorry for this girl. She is not behind this. Evidently Dad pushed her into it for some mixed up theory that it would cure his child's depression. She's an unhappy child with learning disabilities and more than likely isn't mature for her age group. What will happen when she is old enough to understand what dad did to her? He doesn't sound all there either.

“She stopped talking ... she stopped going to school,' he said of her illness." And daddy let her get away with this? My father would have told me to grow up, get off my arse, get myself to school and make better grades. Or else.
And how does her lack of education since the age of 12 give her the ability to write something like this...
"The climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice and of political will. Colonial, racist and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fuelled it. We need to dismantle them all."
If anyone believes that she wrote that, they are delusional. She’s nothing more than a puppet to the envirowackos, just like Smidgen was ValJarr’s puppet.
