cross-culturally, all religions, people tend to have 5 axes of morality (harm, equity, authority, in-group, and purity). leftists tend to only have equity and harm though. they cannot even conceive of the other axes as facets of morality. this is why:
they don't care when you call them a hypocrite. they don't even see their "violation of their own ideals" as a violation because they don't perceive the other axes of morality that would make it a violation.
they don't care when you call them a communist. in fact, they're proud of it. we need to make people scared of identifying with or supporting communism again.
when conservatives are asked to rate situations as a leftist, they accurately reflect what leftists say. but when leftists are asked to rate situations as a conservative, they fail miserably, and instead rate it as caricatures of racism/sexism/xenophobia. it's why leftists just see everyone else as evil.
leftists simply do not comprehend the other axes of morality. leftist leadership knows this and abuses it. this extends into why they are so pro-censorship and equate words to violence. stating anything that appeals to any other facet of morality is an affront to their fragile moral identity. and any statement that challenges that e.g. "islam is right about women" or "islam is right about gays" or "israel is right about ethno-nationalism" or even something less morally judgmental and just a straight fact like "FBI crime stats show blacks commit more crime than everyone else combined"... it cracks their fragile morality, and causes them cognitive dissonance, which is measurable on pain receptors in the brain. the only way out is to hammer them with reality until their naivety breaks.
there's been a whole lot of research on this.
