Quote:I actually have a theory about this.  There is a certain level of self loathing associated with the true nature of modern progressivism.  There is only so much drug sex and rock and roll you can advocate in culture without people developing repressed guilt.  It manifests itself in the form of financial masochism where they feel unworthy of the prosperity that western society generates.  Ironically, more often than not, even this masochism manifests itself in an inverse anti-social displacement that creates the SADISTIC need to control and or punish (through confiscatory taxation or regulation) OTHER PEOPLE!
