I see this as also being example of the type of phenomena that results from the 'demonic' nature of the system more broadly and the leftist's role within it.
These guys you mention, well, they have all assumed for themselves this romantic persona of being an intellectual knight who sallies forth to slay all these evil dragons, but really all they are doing is working to improve and maintain the system's efficient and productive functioning and meeting their own psychological needs for power, and to do something 'meaningful' while being admired and worshipped as self-sacrificing, noble, etc.
However, the system itself is 'demonic', and that means that it's paladins must tie themselves up in knots with this tortured and hypocritical 'logic' to maintain this illusion that they're actually these chivalrous and 'good' Arthurian knights of legend, instead of the bunch of twisted Nazgul that they've become in service of 'Sauron'.
Going with your examples, Harris (who I admit to not being familiar with) thinks it's okay to conspire and suppress the truth to get a globalist into power, Zizek and Chomsky are both happy to trample individuals' liberty and dignity with their support for enforcing the system's will with respect to health - and no doubt everything else that they think is in the systems'/collective interests as well.
And these 'paladins' will justify this as being for your own good, and the good of society, but really, it's all about what's good for the 'demonic' system and to satisfy the needy personal psychology of the leftist.
Time and again I find myself noting that Kaczynski was on the money in his critique of the industrial-technological system. This time he seems about leftist psychology, and how the system's neatest trick is to co-opt the psychological needs of the 'rebellious' leftist to become its greatest servants.
Forgive me for heading off on a bit of a tangent, but this makes me wonder what Kaczynski thinks about the clot-shots and the Wuhan Flu? It would be interesting to hear if he has said anything about them.
