Which aspect of me? I am rather multifaceted from where you are looking.

How about this aspect?

I have no self-loathing and I don't participate in collective blame. Neither should anybody who claims to support individual rights.

I see "leftist" and "rightist" values in myself. They are Human values first and most. The bi-partisan language is not useful or helpful.

To loathe "Leftists" is to loathe myself.
To loathe "Rightists" is to loathe myself.

And you might say: "But some of those values are self-contradictory and incompatible.". Yep. They are. So what? I apply them in different contexts.

From the paper which I posted and you didn't read:

An immediate implication: politics is not scale-free. One can be "libertarian at the federal level, Republican at the state level, Democrat at the county level, socialist within the commune, and communist at the family level.

To hell with consistency. The world is too complex for that.

Yes. You are ignorant of the "leftie" in you and you externalize it. It's way easier to hate others than to hate yourself.

Try internalizing it instead.

Metaphorically: We are all sinners...

You loathe the Left.

Part of you is the "The Left" you personify externally.

I think it's insecurity, because those who do it, do it habitually.
Can frequent reassurances cause an insecure habitual apologiser to feel more secure?

If we call security, self-security, then I can honestly say that I know my self-security, but I cannot assume that my self-security applies to another’s self-security.

The word “self-loathing” does not appear in any of those out-of-context quotations.

Since you have no personal experience of self-loathing (or at least you say so), what is your source for your personal, word/signification association, that you are applying to other people?

Which part of logical deduction is confusing you here?

If you loathe people with blue eyes, and you have blue eyes, then it follows: you loathe yourself.

You don't like the word "self-loathing"? Perhaps it triggers you? OK. I'll paraphrase.

If you <feel some emotion> towards people with blue eye and you have blue eyes, then you <feel some emotion> towards yourself.

Unless you didn't know you had blue eyes. Awkward.

Like all the white nationalists figuring out they have 30% black DNA in them. Double-awkward.

Still can't connect the dots maybe? OK. Lets try again.

If you dislike/hate/loathe Lefties and you share traits with Lefties, you dislike/hate/loathe yourself.

Do you agree with the following quotation?

I explicitly stated that the word "self-loathing" is immaterial to my argument. Did you miss that?

Read my response. Carefully.

Then responding to my actual argument, not the strawman you came up with.
