The schools are pumping out more of these zombies every day.
I most likely agree with the basic views of this writer, but that is a very long article to swim through just to confirm that. Some publishers will pay by the word, so perhaps he had to use this expanded format vs something more concise.
In effect, what we have here is the Nazi Party taking over Germany, and Austria, and Czechoslovakia. Invading France. Invading Russia. Killing millions of Jews, Gypsies, and anyone who disagrees with their Party Politics. And, when questioned, theses Nazis get all defensive and say, "Hey, we're the victims here. The whole system was rigged against us at Versailles."
They don’t debate because they know they are right and we are wrong so what’s the point. They don’t need to change our minds. They control everything and are slowly changing American culture. They are winning.
I have several times heard, usually in a smug voice, “my truth.” I’ve also read it over and over, “my truth.” In arguments you hear “my truth” when the other side has been challenged with some irrefutable statistic. Let’s say the conservative quotes some FBI statistic to the effect that whites are shot at greater rate than blacks. The response might be, “Well, my truth is that blacks are targeted by whites.” Actually, it wouldn’t matter if for, let’s say, a year, no blacks were shot be whites at all. Well, “my truth” is there are historic wrongs meaning it’s okay for blacks to target whites.

They learn they are always right and do not need to listen to those that challenge their programmed mind.
I think this is an important article and I will read it closely.
Thanks for posting it. ‘Pod
Literally.
It’s because it is their religion. Not many here on FR would be willing to constructively debate the existence of God. It’s the same mindset.
"...As a fifth and final point, since this is getting pretty long already, remember that Critical Social Justice activists tell us more or less constantly how exhausting it is to fight this constant uphill battle in which no one takes them seriously (read: fight shadows of their own nightmarish projection)."
I see that James Lindsay thinks of himself as a Liberal, in the classical sense- respect other points of view, study other points of view while defending yours, who is horrified at the new Left putting everything into Marxist struggle terms.
At the end of the day it all boils down to this: they abhore the civilized lifestyle. They are anti-civilization.
They are coyotes complaining that they are living in a society full of domesticated dogs. What are the dogs to do?
Summarized: argumentation is a weapon, as far as the Left is concerned. The only thing which matters is the Revolution.
Speech which advances the Revolution is “Truth”.
Speech which works against the Revolution is “Lies”.
They are in a state of war against us. When our speech reveals us as being “the Enemy”, then the response can only be to attack and destroy the Enemy, by whatever means necessary.
There can be no coexistence with the Left.
Look no further than the Frankfurt school and critical theory.
This is the result of universal suffrage.
The self-esteem movement and everybody got a trophy.
Conservatives think Liberals are people with bad ideas.
Liberals think Conservatives are bad people.
It’s impossible for even them to keep up with what is “proper”.
Lots of big words mumbo jumbo’ed together to form a totally unreadable article.
I can sum it up for you in one sentence:
I want what you have, and I am going to take it from you, by force if necessary.
