I may have some personal experience with a full blow leftist.
My older brother is unfortunately one of them. He is unhappy in his marriage, his health and his job and blames society for all of that. His dream society would be one were he can stay and read all day, not have to work, his wife doing everything. For some reason he thinks that communism and woke ideology would solve every one of his problem.
He somehow believes that under communism he does not have to work, despite the fact that under communism everyone worked. He also believes that he must be "on the gender spectrum" so he does not have to work towards a masculine ideal and be an actual husband and an actual father.
What he hates is people proving him wrong, people who work hard, workout, strive to be good husbands and fathers and are happy about it. So he likes any ideology that would hurt the average guy.
Generally speaking, that works best at a younger age for males. I used to be a huge smart-ass and didn't know how to judge the line between hurtful and funny. A friend fixed that for me by literally smacking me upside the back of the head whenever I went too far.

Good friends don't care if they hurt your feelings when you are being a jackass. Otherwise, they are not good friends!
