...woke clowns...
_______________________________________________________
I’ve decided to call them ‘wack’, instead of ‘woke’.
I wonder if the academics, journos and others targeted successfully by the wack cultists can get together and found their own media outlets and teach at places like Hillsdale.
There is now a need for courses in classical liberalism: tolerance for varying opinions; banishment of ad hominems; the end to cancel culture.
Public schools need to be mandated to teach civility along with civics. Real self-esteem is engendered by confidence rooted in reality of knowledge and skills gained. There needs to be a 10-year absolute ban on any personal & political opinions by teachers in any classroom. Teach real critical thinking, where every side is examined and discussed rationally and with applied logic. I’ll bet math scores improve with this sort of reinstalled rigor, as well.
The wack left does not control society and it does not control the public square. Those who are still working, have kids in tax-supported schools and live in municipalities where they pay for services via property taxes, need to stand up. Hire attorneys. Set up escrow accounts. Draw up contracts with civil elected officials and make them adhere to them in order to access the escrow taxes.
The social contract needs a reboot.

On the other side of the political aisle, among self-described liberals, were watching an intellectual revolution. It feels liberating to say after years of tiptoeing around the fact, but the American left has lost its mind. Its become a cowardly mob of upper-class social media addicts, Twitter Robespierres who move from discipline to discipline torching reputations and jobs with breathtaking casualness.
The leaders of this new movement are replacing traditional liberal beliefs about tolerance, free inquiry, and even racial harmony with ideas so toxic and unattractive that they eschew debate, moving straight to shaming, threats, and intimidation. They are counting on the guilt-ridden, self-flagellating nature of traditional American progressives, who will not stand up for themselves, and will walk to the Razor voluntarily.
Theyve conned organization after organization into empowering panels to search out thoughtcrime, and its established now that anything can be an offense, from a UCLA professor placed under investigation for reading Martin Luther Kings Letter from a Birmingham Jail out loud to a data scientist fired* from a research firm for get this retweeting an academic study suggesting nonviolent protests may be more politically effective than violent ones!

Great article! Im seeing more of this happening with libs. Look at what Shaun King has been saying too.

What has that fraud been saying?
Also, they want to replace dems with outright communists not with Republicans.
To: SaxxonWoods
How long will it take to admit this is a race war against white people?
.

And against all Western Culture and democracy.
To: SeekAndFind
Taibbi is surgical in highlighting all of the nonsense, all of the weird acts of contrition being exhibited by white liberals that
he rightfully describes as activities that are more in line with cult behavior
Now this dude is a traditional liberal. These people on the left ARE cultists.
To: SeekAndFind
Matt Taibbi sounds reasonable . If he’s writing this then many are thinking it, at least the old school traditional liberal.The few that are left.
Did he put this in Rollingstone? Where can I find this article from Taibbi??

And run BY white people.
Its not a race war per se - its a communist style uprising.
In my town which is probably something like 90% white (and derided for being so) they held a BLM march on the town square which persisted of dozens of white people and one token black guy and organized by a young white female (probably antifa)
It plays out in all the towns.

very true
To: SaxxonWoods
... 73% of Americans described protecting property as very important, while an additional 16% considered it somewhat important. This means the Philadelphia Inquirer editor was fired for running a headline Buildings matter, too that the poll said expressed a view held by 89% of the population, including 64% of African-Americans.Yes, the left wants a race war... but many African-Americans don't want to be part of a race war that primarily benefit white liberal 'elites', Marxists and Antifa goons. Cheap promises for the black community and more power for white thugs... they've seen this movie before...

An LEO friend who has worked a few protests told me that the absolute worst ones are the young white women. They are absolutely psychotic, hyper violent and vitriolic. One stood across from him on the line screaming obscenities at him that would make a sailor crawl up in the fetal position for over 3 continuous hours. They are automatons. And they vote. What a dreadful thought.

Without continuous race, sex and class wars to incite their base of voting blocks, the democrats have no chance of winning in November.
These riots and assaults will stop ten minutes after polling data shows that the democrats are no longer gaining sympathetic press reports that help their November election chances. Of course, that means that the burned out streets are Trump’s fault.
