I’m thinking about Nietzsche’s critique of Eugen Karl Dühring as a kind of intuitive leftist. Nietzsche critiques in him an attitude of feeling hard done by and wanting to equalize the score. This also fits the model of passive aggressive complainining that some leftists engage in. I think most of the complainers in life really don’t know what is getting their goat, just that other people seem to be happier than they are, have more to live for, and seem to be doing well. The complainer feels like they must be getting more than their fair share out of life and decides they need to even the score on the basis of the assumption that making someone else more miserable will make them feel better.
Women, females, are the worst at this, I find. I mean they’re often very good at it, which makes them horrible. This doesn't happen in an everyday context, but in a workplace situation, where they are relegated to the lowest levels and have no means to fight back against this hidden injustice. It's not genetic, by any means. Japanese women do not manage their lives in this way. It seems that this is a mode of behavior specific to contemporary, quite-modern, Western women. Other denizens of destruction also adopt an identity politics model of reality to wreak their revenge.
Both the complainer and the identity politics denizen are superficially credible. Identity politics is a form of superficial intellectualism.
