and i find you to be more creative than the bookfair people who are the subject of discussion here, but at the same time i agree with dingle berry in that words are just part of a large tapestry of factors. For example, inferiority complex and feelings of being a victim aren't just ideological, there's just as much much inferiority complex in right wing politics. TK just picked up on the extent that leftism is appealing to people who feel persecuted, overly sensitive, and vulnerable. I think the ironic part is that all the crazy blame gaming that comes from that mentality in part also comes from actually being "victimized" and being confused about what to do about it. There's a very creepy element to bureaucratic/capitalistic "out of sight, out of mind" more detached forms of oppression that leads people to acting in some very bizarre ways. While i think anti-civilization is often too much of a dramatic single-minded narrative about an abstraction, i do feel that we live in an insane asylum.

I also think inferiority complex comes from a drive in the modern world to be productive and have a very competent self-image, human psychology is an abyss for sure!
