Really can't be surprised with how deviant behavior been encouraged and justified for the last 15 years. The criminals are the victims and if you come here illegally you are a better person than someone who lives here.
Yes—this. I’ve been seeing the same thing for a while now but hadn’t framed it in DSM terms until I read this. It’s not just politics anymore; it’s affect and pathology driving the whole show.
The antisocial and borderline traits are especially glaring. The constant cycling between grievance, rage, and emotional coercion—it’s not debate, it’s dysregulation weaponized as ideology. And you’re dead right about the ICE example. That kind of unhinged hostility isn’t about policy; it’s psychological projection with a political veneer.
This isn’t just “the Left being too online.” It’s an entire movement animated by emotional instability and reinforced by platforms that reward it. You’ve nailed it.
Violence toward ICE is a direct result of allowing these people to get away with criminal behavior. They do not see consequences for their actions. It’s pretty simple.
These people have been driven to this behavior by our very own government.
I have never understood how moderate Democrats can be so, so blind to this. As far as moderate Democrats are concerned, Left Wing political violence is a mythology, and I will never understand that blind spot.

I'm really glad to see the expression "revenge colonisation" being used. This is really what is going on and the true motivation driving the left.

This is correct, why would they not commit violence? How many city blocks have been burned without a single arrest.
