Right? Leftists either claim it's "payback" for centuries of "white oppression" or they flat out deny it.
They do love to lie.
Leftists are slave-minded people. They are genuinely NPC's, waiting for their masters to give them programming to obey and repeat.
Leftism is egotism masquerading as a real political ideology. These people are addicted to getting their egos stroked. You can direct them pretty much wherever you want, so long as you enable them to feel smug about doing so.
They’re cowards who can’t stand alone, so they repeat whatever the popular opinions of the day are, so they can feel safe and accepted.
