Martin Luther King -

Yep, CC and Micman. Of course Mr. Rubin is on target. Trying to understand the factors behind the strident and nearly rabid behaviors in the current left, is like peeling an onion. Let me do so with watering eyes.
Of course we like having our friends on the left, especially with the back and forth slight shifts in power structures, every 2,4 and 6 years. When it works, the envy of much of the world. Tree top syndromics of course excepted. As good as constitutional democratic process gets.
Those of us who study huperson and mammalian behavior, see a number of consistent characteristics of such. For starters, there are a number of motivating factors, and we've all seen the list of the 8 deadly sins. But it's also true, that the more behaviors deviate from the mean on standard distribution curves, often there become correspondingly stronger correlates of these motivating (rationalizing) factors. Many of us have discussed some of these right here. Who isn't sick of me and my Vucking endlessly tedious syndromes, for example?
But when I peer into the central tiny green shoots at the onion's center, the compulsive focus on race, as if it's even a valid scientific variable for study, keeps coming up, in all sorts of ways.
Sure it's striking, and we've mentioned factors such as white privilege guilt, self loathing, virtue signaling and the rest of it. All with the MSN, government edumacation, and the soon to be 200 year old original sin of slavery, closely in tow.
But just what might explain some 4 dozen executive orders in the first two weeks of this Presidency? In the overkill attempt to turn around the mere half dozen from the last (valid) Potus's group of such, in the whole first MONTH in orofice.?
Guilt is a strong motivating factor. If I were as much as a documented real racist as some in this current crew, even at the highest level, overkill abreactive behaviors might not be much of a surprise. Understanding it often functioning at pre- and unconscious levels, to expunge guilt, and soon you have some real push to things.
But then, what do any of us really know?
