Leftist behavior is just ancient instincts: A comprehensive and optimistic theory.

A taste.
[WinningOverWokenessSubstack] We use words communicate but they don't do this. To a leftist words are purely tactical tools. You make noises with your mouth and then other people do things for you.

This makes sense. In tribal societies unlimited cruelty is the only winning strategy. Nothing governs inter-tribal relations, and because their existence is zero sum the people who end up with enough food to reproduce a lot are simply those who were more vicious towards their enemies. Mercy and weakness are the exact same thing and lead to your bloodline ending.

Evidence of massacres and genocides have been found by archaeologists at dig sites predating the first cities. Anthropologists who studied tribes before they were absorbed into modernity regularly remarked on their insane levels of violence. Raiding, feuding, honor killings and revenge killings were all common. In some groups up to a third of men died violently. This kind of total tribal warfare was still happening recently in places like Rwanda.

Christianity was revolutionary for European progress because it taught that it’s OK to forgive someone who wronged you and desirable to be the "good Samaritan" (i.e. to help members of other tribes).
