Notes.

 The left's playbook:
1.  Identify an activity that most people do not engage in, but most do not object to.
2.  Do the activity in such a manner, and to such a degree, so that it becomes objectionable.
3.  When people do object, scream "BIGOT!" and play the victim to garner sympathy, protections, and special privileges.
4.  Repeat.

Leftists are committed to a worldview where they see everyone else as ignorant, hate-filled racists.  This flatters their own self-regard (because you can always look good by comparison to the other guy if you set the bar low enough) and rationalizes their sense of authoritarian entitlement.

--

If you really care about making life better - for one person, or for many people, or for the world - what you care about is results.  You care that the person is actually better off after you have helped them, and you do everything in your power to make sure that your help is really helping.  If you're not doing that, then you are just pursuing the feeling of "doing good".

People say "but they have good intentions!" I say BS. If you care about helping people, then you care about the outcome, and if you care about the outcome, you are constantly, obsessively, checking to see whether what you're doing is making people's lives better. And if you're not doing that, then I say it's questionable how good your intentions were in the first place.

Humility means being willing to learn from others - specifically, to learn what you could be doing better.
