I don’t know… I guess like the lovely Mrs Wright, I’ve known a few… I guess they weren’t full SJWs, but one might call them larvae… and they’re not bad people!
It’s like the zombie movies ya know? They’re infected, I get that we’ll have to shoot them in the head, just wish we could figure out some way to cure them before it gets to that point, ya know? Especially because they seem to fight it sometimes.
It just gets… old.
I agree. The SJWs are not bad people. Not at first. Even Lucifer was not totally wretched and evil at first.
That is the important thing to remember.
They are good people with a bad theory who are addicted, like a cocaine addict, to the rush of ego-gratification that comes from self-righteousness.
The Morlocks once were human, once dwelt on the surface, under the sun, and once ate wholesome meats, and did not feast on human flesh. It takes several steps of evolution to go from being a good man to being a subhuman troglodyte cannibal. Not all have taken all the steps
It is a three stage trap into which they fall, and at each stage, for the best of reasons.

Give it a read.
From a conservative blogger. This guy can write as well as Mark Steyn...
but is more learned. :-)
I don’t know… With all these strange symbols (€™â€¦â€), It just gets… old.
SJWs have NO redeeming qualities...

This is a good article. Though instead of Barbarian, Troglodyte, Morlock, I would call it Neurosis, Psychosis, Psychopathy.
Lewis, in a The Abolition of Man, points to a perchance complementary route with what he called “trousered apes”.
Essentially, the use of “education”, not to confer valid judgments such as men ought to have, but to “free” men of sentimentality through a sort of “education” in the hopes that they will be resistant to folks like the salesmen that this writer speaks of is the thing.
The problem that Lewis wrote of is that by giving the young person nothing maintained as valid and always true but only equipping them to debunk all judgments and therefore secure in themselves none is that rather than create worldly men possessing sales resistance you fashion empty men, trousered apes.
And empty men have proven to be easily swayed by every breeze of marketing rather than resistant to it. They are not barbarians, all chest and no head, but chestless men.
So there is at least this alternative to the first part of the trap ... and yet the end is the same should a trousered ape ever seek to fill the void with the same fare the chesty barbarians are feeding upon.
So, backing up a bit, we shouldn’t be surprised to find such “respected educators” as Bill Ayers doing what they can to make either barbarians or trousered apes ... as both serve their ends.
Be nice if he would DEFINE an acronym before taking off with it. WTF is an SJW?
Social justice warrior...
My first thought is always “Single Jewish Woman.”
Good comments, but his punctuation isn’t all that.
Interesting the way he uses “Morlock”.
Given the fact that most Americans are now Eloi...
Thanks, You are totally correct, he can write. Very good article. Well thought out and presented. It is well worth reading.
Thank you...as I had the same question.
bump (in the dark)
“the other veal”..,
I finally noodled that out after my post, but thanks.
Undefined acronyms are a pet peeve of mine...
