Many leftists want to do good but don't know how such that they end up committing evil but you can tell they're good people deep-down whereas I consider these brand of right-wingers as willingly engaging in evil.
I can't strictly dispute the many, but that's just because in a world with 7+ billion people that's a very easy bar to pass.
I would say that most leftists don't care about being good so much as appearing and being thought of as good. My experience is that even the more reasonable sounding ones are still willing to publicly support things they privately confide they think might be harmful rather than risk a tarnished reputation. Turning a blind eye and willful ignorance of the reality of things seems just as much a plausible deniability defense mechanism for their social capital as it is a genuine oversight.
I believe only a small minority of people who genuinely want to be good could experience present day clownworld and not think to re-examine some of the things they are told. The problem is that good people are now even a Western minority, regardless of political affiliation. As a group they forgot the only way altruism survives in a society is if they are militantly protectionist of each other first and foremost so that they can cooperatively outcompete the self-centered, and are now on the verge of extinction for allowing themselves and each other to be exploited and pushed out of almost all positions of power. Fathers failed several generations ago to sufficiently impart that even though living conditions had improved greatly we still don't have the resources to help everyone and if you value the future survival of kindness you have to make hard choices that go contrary to your good nature for the sake of the community.
