As stated in the article, Leftists live in an unreal media bubble which distorts their view of reality. They think that they are normal, but THEY are the ones who have drastically changed their political positions. JFK, Hubert Humphrey and Daniel Patrick Moynihan would not recognize the current Democrats. I have two sisters and their husbands who are staunch Dems. They have graduate degrees, as do I, but they are detached from regular normal Americans because of the biased media that they constantly watch. They identify themselves with people who think that they are morally and intellectually superior to the rest of us. They think that I am an extremist, yet it is they who have moved to extreme political positions. Sad!
Right now on Twitter, the WokeScolds of the Left are serially trashing Chuck "Cuck Democrat Dood" Todd for having the temerity to call out the Democrat Dimwit Darling AOC over her "concentration camp" comments.
Cuck is a Democrat.
I guess that they don't understand that Rule 308 says differently...
What's wrong with the alt-right..?
What is a “woke?” Is this some millennial new non-word?
Was this dopey author born yesterday?
They are COMMUNIST groups! And they've been infecting college campuses for more than 50 years.
This is an interesting article, and he makes a good point - the liberals have been radicalized and are stepping on each other’s heads in an effort to demonstrate how totally radical they are, while conservatives have just been going about their business, not engaging...and thus becoming targets for an increasingly radicalized left.
I don’t think you’re going to see a race or color based response from conservatives (that is, normal people) since they come in all colors, but I think and hope there will be one based on Judeo-Christian/American values and tradition. The problem is that the liberals (now radical leftists) control the courts and politics, and they are criminalizing those very values and tradition. It’s going to be very difficult.
The IS literally that which they fear most and it is in their own hearts, e.g., they are so cognizant of social disparities that it consumes their very happiness. Just as the homosexual is hyper sexualized how they perceive the world, so too is a leftists worldview - it is all and at once sexualized, black, privileged, and self centered. The left sees only oneself first and then the rest of the world; each one is the smartest person in the room.
They have become the expendables of humanity.
They reject history. They reject reason. They reject natural laws of nature. They think they can “make it so” just by forcing their will upon every facet of the world, whether it be the weather or a grain of sand the left thinks that if they can only pass another law, or shut down another voice.
Sadly hilarious.

White liberals like Marlon Craft like the “SJW-wokeness”

People like Marlon will be the future of the Left.
Now map that demographic against the firearms owner demographic and it isn't too difficult to see where this could all end up very easily. A signal feature of progressive ideology is the legitimacy of violence against anyone accused of opposing historical "progress" and the illegitimacy of resistance to it. In short, a morally justified punch in someone's face under the assumption that a return punch is impossible. That is something much worse than naive.
I am honestly little interested in the social deep-thought behind this curious phenomenon. That's for later after the punches stop being thrown. It's already too late to prevent them.
I highly suspect some degree of self-serving among those who assign these traits. In reality, liberals show little to no agreeableness or compassion, while they vie with one another to display the highest level of intolerance and outright hate (even to themselves, according to the article). They might think that emotional harm and fairness are important issues, but only in that they must cause as much emotional harm as possible and will not entertain even the notion of fairness.
Just watched several episodes or Frasier. Found myself reading your post in the voice of Frasier at first and then Niles
I totally agree. The rise of the SJWs, their whole movement, and the entire Green movement didn't arise after the fall of the Soviet Union by mere coincidence. Every time you look at a picture of leftist events, they are all holding signs printed by communist splinter groups. They may not be taking orders directly from Moscow any more, but some international communist group seems to be directing all their activity somehow. The Communist International, or “Comintern,” was the network of subordinate Communist parties the Soviet Union established in foreign countries, for purposes of subversion. It seems to still live.
The origins of the communist party in the United States go back exactly 100 years to the establishment of the Comintern and CE Ruthenberg (who received his law degree from Columbia in 1909). It got its start at Columbia University. In 1919, upon the establishment of Comintern, Ruthenberg became a leader of one of the two or three different American Communist parties vying for Russian recognition and support.
John Sexton isn't ready to see the whole truth - that these are communist organizations. You're right on that ETL. But he is getting cracks in the Wall - like why are there so few radical blacks joining up? How come Soros has to pay people to make their 'woke' groups appear larger than they are...
