    Leftists are definitely very moralist - when they "reject morality", they only do so because they view it as not moral enough. Even the most radical leftist currents are characterised by hyper egalitarian moralism, at the expense of everything else. I think Kaczynski analysed it in the most succinct possible way - leftists adopt the chief principles of the society they live in as their own and then they accuse that same society of falling short of those principles.

    Great write-up, thank you for this.

    Haven't listened yet but regarding your closing remarks on leftist hypermorality, they do seem to have the fervor of a religious zealot or crusader. I think your (or mine if I'm incorrect) misunderstanding is due to not coming to terms how morality is being used and possibly these useful idiots not knowing what they're doing. My perspective is that these "people" (leftists) are on an egalitarian crusade. Levelling here, levelling there, levelling everywhere. It's far easier to drag others down than raise others up, so as you stated they attack heteronormativity, patriarchy, etc. I'm sure they feel quite moral in what they're doing (being on the right side of history), despite our disagreeing with the morality of their actions.

    So I think calling them hypermoral, and your disagreement with that term, is a matter of context. I think it is quite clear that these idiots think what they're doing is right and good and just, and as an observer you have the perspective to more objectively analyze their lack of morality than they do(forest and trees scenario). It's a matter of thinking of morality as "is what I'm doing right?" rather than your more analytical and nuanced assessment. Hope that makes sense.
