You have to imagine leftism as a egregore, or a non physical entity created from the collective thought of a group of people. Look at this thing, you're not speaking to "him" as much as you're speaking to "it". He is part of collective consciousness, like an antibody made to viciously attack anyone challenging the prog hegemony. He has no personality outside of this. Downright unsettling to witness.

But not though. That's where the fucking insanity comes from. These people are willing to believe literally anything, if it means there is a magic pill for all their problems.
