Matthew’s got it exactly right. The real goal is of it all is simply destruction–opportunistic destruction of Truth, Beauty, and Virtue. Which is why the rules have to change weekly. That’s the “opportunistic” part, and the “destruction” part too. Once I realized this (circa 2010), I finally understood, for the first time, literally everything the Left does. In one epiphany, I went from totally confused by politics to having the ability to predict the Left pretty consistently.
Amazing to me how many people still haven’t realized that the reason Left principles are ever-changing and hard to pin down is because (1) the Left has no principles at all except (2) the destruction of all principles.
No flowchart possible. It’s a house built on sand which shuffles at every whim.
