A field that is overwhelmingly comprised of leftists doing research that supports leftist causes suddenly making something not leftie is quite unexpected.
I forgot the details but there was this paper on authoritarian behavior by a leftist that made the claim that it is a right wing thing until someone brought up that you can be authoritarian based on an idea rather then an individual and it turned out that the left is way more authoritarian then the right by the same metrics.
The thing that I thought was the most idiotically striking was that nobody had ever thought before to check and see if leftists could maybe be intolerant, authoritarian, cruel, deceptive, and manipulating.
Surely the last 200 years should have provided enough clues to pique someone's curiosity? Is he just a dumb fuck or is the whole profession like this? They're just now asking the question? Bunch of quacks.

Top result on Google scholar:
Right wing authoritarianism: "Enemies of freedom: Understanding right-wing authoritarianism"
Left wing authoritarianism: "The myth of left-wing authoritarianism"
I think this is a good illustration of the field.
That makes me wonder if the author is not totally a leftist, because most leftists refuse to even admit there were violent protests in 2020.

All leftist traits/tactics.
"Intolerant" less so, but that could apply to anybody who wants to maintain some orthodoxy.
"Scholars".
Subverters.
Even Hitler was more precise than these freaks.
This makes me wonder if they are going to kill people like what pol pot was doing.
