I’m sorry, do you think “the left” is a hive mind, a massive caricature that you can equate with one person?

That would depend on which left we are talking about. In the USA, yea they are sadly largely a characteture of themselves. To a lesser extent this is true of most english speaking nations. But most of the left in non-english countries tend to be more accepting of nuance and discussion and I wouldnt be so quick to describe the left in the rest of the world in such ways.

That said even in america there are a select few on the left who dont fit that description. But its still a very large overwhelming majority

It is not possible to extrapolate what a handful in a group of billions of people said and compare it to the statements of one person.

Agreed, but it is possible to extrapolate from what the overwhelming majoirity of a group says and compare that to the behavior of individuals. Which is mostly what I did there.

but saying so makes you feel better about yourself and playing the whataboutism logical fail game as you dehumanize over half the world’s population

As someone who is on the left myself, no, it doesnt make me feel good that the side I prefer behaves this way, much the opposite.
