If you can see or aren’t willing to face the potential pitfalls and dangers of the ideology you wield, then it’s possible that you don’t really understand it, and likely that you shouldn’t be wielding it. Unless you’re familiar with your own inner monster and can recognize the danger it poses, you’re not a safe person to be around. This is the Jungian shadow. And if you can’t see it, if you can’t see what and who you’re against, as well as what you’re for; what you hate and what you could become, as well as what you love and what you think you are, you’re inherently naive and and dangerous.
