This person, whoever it is, nails it.
The conflict leftists decry is borne not of the “issues,” but of fundamentally different perceptions of the world. The Right sees man as fallen, inherently prone to selfish actions but capable of greatness. Pastors are in the business of helping such individuals curb those bad inclinations in favor of faith & altruism.
Today's left, OTOH, believes man is inherently good but both stupid and incapable of greatness. Thus they seek, ALWAYS, to substitute their worldview for that of all individuals. They think rewards based on merit or hard work are unfair because the individual did not personally create those abilities in himself.
They believe the productive will inherently continue being productive in the absence of rewards, despite 400 years of evidence that they will not. (Plymouth Colony almost starved to death the winter of 1620 b/c everybody got an equal share of the harvest regardless of time spent working on the fields.)
The differences between the Left & Right grow sharper every year as the Left mutates through policy positions unrecognizable even 10 yrs ago. High profile Democrats are even adopting overt Communist phrasing: “What can be, unburdened by what has been” is from Marx and was most visibly employed by Mao Tse Tung in the Cultural Revolution, and AOC’s phrase “We have a world to win” is best recognized from its context in the Communist Manifesto: “Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!"
The specific issues could be resolved but for the fact that most of them are caused by Leftists employing the writings of Marx, Gramsci, Marcuse, the Frankfurt School and Foucault to literally destroy Western civilization so it can be rebuilt in their atheistic self-image.
