The left holds potential harms to groups as more important than actual harm to individuals. That's a logical contradiction, because the ethical (moral) importance of groups derives strictly from the ethical (moral) importance of individuals.
For any system of rules or principles, the existence of logical contradictions serve as absolute falsifications of the system. Why? Because in any such system of rules or principles, it's possible to prove that 'true' is logically identical to 'false.'
In any rule-based system where there is no logical distinction between 'true' and 'false,' all assertions/propositions that can be derived from the axioms of the system are simultaneously both true and false—meaning those using the system's rules to present arguments can "prove" absolutely anything to be either true or false, as they may desire.
