"... given their narrow view of history as merely something abstract to be interpreted in a way that serves their ideological presumptions, it's as if the pathology of neo-liberal idealism gravitates around the delusional and frankly quite juvenile notion that the rise of the West would have gone so much smoother had they been in charge, that under their enlightened leadership we would have been blessed with all the good stuff while miraculously through their heroic efforts spared all the bad... these are truly dangerous people... and you see how such a delusionist ideology necessarily leads to absolutism and then eventually the tyrannical urge left wing orthodoxy always reaches for in order to preserve the purity of their ideals against the rude attacks of reality... this worldview is pretty much diametrically opposed to the empirically pragmatic scepticism of a conservative one, which says basically that despite your best intentions and sometimes precisely because of your best intentions shit is absolutely gonna happen and if you can't defeat it or somehow manage the wherewithal to survive and adapt to it, then expect to have yourself a very bad day..."
