It's fascinating to see and I'm curious if anyone else has encountered that same phenomena where a leftist lunatic will have 1 based take on 1 thing, not because they're actually based, but almost accidentally because that 1 thing is something they care about, and they can't see the same problems as problems anywhere else.

Ok sure, that 3rd law is no longer fully applicable in the new era, where they have full control of the institutions and have moved to the next stage. But that 3rd one isn't the point, it was included just for completeness.
The main Q was: Has anybody noticed this first phenomena?
The answer is yes, famously so. Here's the old saying, conquests first law, about just that.
