Agreed. It's coming out of every semi-obscure outlet I listen to... Very weird.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

It is poison for the country, it stoke the flames of extremism.

for the media, maybe it is just that they are cowards

How easy it is to denounce the evils and villains of the past, and how much more difficult it is to muster the courage to confront the evils of the present

I think it's deflection given that they are the one advancing the evils of our time.

There was a piece on NPR yesterday, interviewing a professor agitating for removal of Robert E Lee statues. Interviewer questioned the wisdom of it, and brought up the slippery slope a number of times.

It's not a monolith, but it has a full head of steam, for sure.

I saw yet another post in my FB feed stating that people standing behind flags of the enemies of America deserve to be treated like enemies of America!

So . . . sucks to be Britain, Canada, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Russia, countless Native Americans, etc, etc.

"Why did you punch that dude wearing a shirt with the Union Jack on it?"

"FUCKER WAS HIDING BEHIND THE FLAG OF A PAST ENEMY OF AMERICA. FUCKER IS AN ENEMY OF AMERICA!!!!"

Such intellectual horsepower pushing these people along through life.
"Hey varmints, don't mess with a guy that's riding a buffalo"

I think the failure of the average person to have even a rudimentary grasp of the last 100 years is our biggest problem.

I mean, if we had any context, maybe so many folks wouldnt be so violently utopian and would be like "huh, I am one of the luckiest people ever born", maybe we wouldnt be chomping at the bit to tear down as much of society as we can get our hands on.

Ever notice Boss Hogg only hired white people? I am starting to think he might have been racist.

I thought so too until he helped tear down those confederate statues and put and end to racism for good.
