utopian dictatorships of both the sixteenth-century Anabaptists and the twentieth-century Maoists

God I fucking hate anti-communist propaganda, Marxism isn't utopian you fucking liberal idiots.

Also, this part is just bonkers:

hallmarks of the pathological dualisms described by Sacks and Murawiec: the binary *us versus them'" framework, the justification of mass violence against all "enemies,"' the Gnostic knowledge of an elite vanguard and the altruistic evil of mass killing in defense of an imagined utopia-to-be

Liberals literally do this towards leftists, especially if they're from colonized or global south countries, or just in general "enemies" of US imperialism. Constantly demonizing, justifying genocide with a colonialist attitude to the populations of these countries. And they do it with a smuglord insistence that they're better than everyone else because they're Westerners, and that Western nations are the only perfectly free nations on earth.
