So, #theory time for #leftists
Do you think #Biden is evil, for his support of #Israel's #genocide? If so, cool! I'd hope so!
Now, do you think #Stalin is evil, for his support of the #Nazi's genocide of the #Jewish people? if so, cool! I'd hope so!
If one of these things are evil to you, and the other isn't, you really need to dig down deep to ask yourself "Why?" Both used "Political necessity" as the excuse for their support. Both said "But we asked others to help!" as an excuse why.
In reality, they are both either evil for doing the same thing, or they are both not evil for it. You cannot have one, without the other and remain #logically consistent.
The vertical axis, "#rationalism", is a little fuzzier concept. A common definition is something like how much you believe that #rational, #intellectually #rigorous #planning can solve society's #social #problems.
If you think we can solve every problem, if only we had the correct government program, or civilian association supporting it, or work hard enough, or if we #redistribute #resources #logically, etc, then you fall at the top end of this scale.

They insist that #capitalism is the best #system because personal #financial gain is the best motive for hard #work and productivity.
They then refuse to hire #anyone who only cares about personal financial gain.
But if they were #logically consistent, they'd consider #employees who are only there for the paycheck to be the best employees.
It's almost as if they know that #people with a #capitalist mindset destroy #everything they touch.
