At some point, with a lot of different ideologies, you just hit a brick wall. It’s a kind of psychopathy. It affects people in vast numbers. Far more than we realise. It doesn’t forward their agenda (ie. gaining power) to admit the root truth behind many of their motives because it’s not considered ethical. But in actuality Paedophiles want to have sex with kids because they like it, they like the idea of it and the act of destroying innocence, cannibals eat people because they like it, they like the idea of it, the power it affords them. It is about power - you’re right. No amount of moralising or logic will override their lust for their certain brand of power. As a former friend said to me recently: “oppression is okay if you are on the side of the oppressor.” Vast swathes of the population feel this way. Right or wrong - doesn’t matter. It’s raw power. You can’t argue against this.
It's actually (categorically speaking) an eating disorder, wokeism is. It's the coping mechanism aspect, like starvation, of the anorexic woman... it's all about control. They're trying to control how they feel about their delusional identity. In this case, the 'we're so racist' identity that consumes them. I recently wrote a book about it. It's called Anorexic Theory.
So this is how all wars start then right? (when people value power over goodness based logic that results in the greatest gain of personal power rather than submitting to logic for the greatest good and loosing personal power).
Are they so in love with power that they will not allow themselves to see this? Or is pointing this feature out to them the solution?
You've described what amounts to being mentally deranged. Narcissist? Perhaps. Malignant? to be sure. Psychopathic? Not sure. Morally insane? Absolutely!
The right has for too long attempted logic to counter the left's agenda. They are not only deranged, they are emotionally stunted children in adult bodies. As such, they are incapable of adequately understanding consequences; they want what they want, and they want it now! Another term for this is "King Baby," often used to describe addictive personalities.
If you think about it, the values of the right are aligned with the 7 virtues (faith, hope, charity, temperance, prudence, fortitude and justice), whereas the values of the left align with the 7 deadly sins (greed, sloth, envy, lust, pride, wrath, gluttony). The difficulty lies in presentation. Conservatism appeals to higher ideals, such as freedom and peace. Whereas leftists appeal to the lower parts of humanhood, such as free 'stuff,' money, s*x with whomever, whenever you want..in short, the 7 deadly sins.
It's easy to 'see' money. It's easy to appeal to people's basest desires . You want to give me free stuff and I don't have to do anything for it? That is difficult to turn down.
If you, however are asking me to wait for enjoyment, wait until marriage for __x, hold off, work hard for years to earn enough to eventually purchase things of my own efforts, in the name of this ethereal concept called 'freedom,' that's a much harder sell. It's difficult for people to 'see' that, especially when our every institution has worked to dumb down schoolchildren and adults, so that they will not complain when the emperor throws breadcrumbs at them every four years.
You also get the true believers.
Reading Frank Dikotter on the Chinese communist revolution has helped me see into the woke mindset and to see just how far they'd be prepared to go.

Great advice. Thank you Karlyn!
