Does Greece have the highest percentage of Horrible People in the world?

BRTD seems to be under the impression that individuals exist in a vacuum isolated from any kind of social influence (which, interestingly, is usually a right-wing assumption).

     The idea that individuals are fully culpable for their own political beliefs seems quite common among the left, actually. In almost any other sphere, it would be unequivocally right-wing to maintain such a position.

I don't consider Hagrid and his ilk of self-righteous elitists to be "left-wing" in any meaningful sense. They simply combine the surface of left-wing policy positions (although often just on "social" issues, as they're quite at peace with continued plutocracy) with this fundamentally right-wing attitude.

     I see a lot of people on the left espousing this sort of notion in regards to the right. I won't accuse you of No True Scotsman here, because (even as someone who is not leftist) I agree that this type of attitude seems antithetical to left-wing principles. With that in mind, I wonder how much of a left-wing you have if you insist that these people are not genuine leftists.
