AKA Tyranny of the Social Justice Warriors (SJW).
(BTW, DON”T call it “virtue signaling” a meaningless Leftist term to water down the truth of Leftist tyranny of “social justice”.)
In Canada an audit of the census showed that .33% of the population is LBGT. One third of one percent but they have bullied an entire nation.
“... .33% of the population...” but 100% of the culture. Huhhhh??
There’s a leftist term for that, it isn’t revolution or liberation: it’s the sexual deviants pounding on lots door
Demanding
Access to the unwilling’s bodies.
They were never after tolerance or approval
They are after forcing your participation.
That is in Greenfield’s Top 5 columns ever. It’s a magnificent recap of leftism
But he stops short on recommendations how to fight it.
“But he stops short on recommendations how to fight it.”
That has been the problem with conservative scribblers all along. It’s all good and well to report facts and ideas. But chatter without action is useless. People need to be encouraged to be active.
There is no such thing as a “moral majority.” Anywhere in the world. Human nature negates any such expectations.
I found a new tagline.
And that’s a good tagline!
The problem is that the underlying precept of republican self-government - majority rule - has been turned upside down so that the majority can rule over everything - except what is important.
“But he stops short on recommendations how to fight it.”
The minorities get what they want because they’re organized and willing to fight for what they want Tooth and nail, using every means at their disposal.
Whereas the majority is too apathetic about its values and can’t be bothered to defend them.
The result is the dystopia we’re living in.
So our problems are not due to the “tyranny” of the minority but to the apathy of us, the majority.
Which is another way of saying things haven’t yet gotten bad enough to spur us into getting off our asses and fight back.
Will that day ever come? Who knows.
Here’s another incisive take on this phenomenon by Nassim Taleb - “Skin in the Game”. It explains why it happens.

I've come to believe that that's wrong.
What's happened is because Supreme Court decisions and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 have fundamentally changed the Constitution (with regard to majority power) from "what is not forbidden is permitted" to "What is not permitted is forbidden" - and nothing the majority wants is permitted.
People have even come to accept the notion that a majority voting for something of substance and getting it is evil.
We can't go on like this (obviously), but the way forward is clouded.
Shopped short. Well I guess he was afraid to say it was okay to just blast them and get it over with. But, all that blood might get him in trouble!!! :-) You know how the commies are when you talk guns maintaining law and order. DEFUND, DEFUND, DEFUND, TAKE GUNS AWAY, TAKE GUNS AWAY. Yup, that what the Commies scream.
Good tag line now!! Glad to have helped in some tiny way!!
Yup. He do write good stuff. I have enjoyed most of his views over the years.
their best offense is by destroying norms to normalize their insanity...
THAT is a good one.

And who brought that before the Supremes and advocated and lobbied for its approval. Wasn’t it the vocal and activist minority?
” People have even come to accept the notion that a majority voting for something of substance and getting it is evil. “
And who exactly is “people” and how did that happen?
Connect the dots.
Oh, believe me, I’ve got the dots all connected.
Just not on FR.
