Leftism reminds me of a quote:
“Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...well, I have others.” -- Groucho Marx
Actually, Leftists do have principles, they're just very bad principles:
- Power above all else
- Might makes right
- Truth is relative
- Perception is reality
- The end justifies the means
The reason the Left's position appears to be referential from their POV and rapidly moving from everyone else's point of view is because their principles aren't based on facts about reality or human behavior, they're based on goals.
They could care less about what is right or wrong, or objective truths about the universe... they only care about achieving a specific ends, and if something works in favor of achieving that end, it's by definition "good". Everyone and everything is just a means to achieving an end, and their desired end is inherently good by virtue of who they are, so it follows that anything that helps them achieve that end is naturally good as well.
It's the ultimate manifestation of self-worship.
