“The new moral culture of victimhood fosters ‘moral dependence’ and an atrophying of the ability to handle small interpersonal matters on one's own. At the same time that it weakens individuals, it creates a society of constant and intense moral conflict as people compete for status as victims or as defenders of victims."[56”

“These social justice warriors spread into society with their marching orders: patriarchy is bad, masculinity is toxic, objective reality is a myth, lived experience is the only truth, science is white supremacy, biology isn't real, men and women are the same, and anyone you disagree with should be shouted down, shamed, shunned and silenced.”

“Physicist Eric Weinstein calls these "long-short positions," alluding to investment strategies with multiple parts which when considered individually appear to be going in different directions, but in fact, are operating on the same thesis. When people engage in long-short thinking, zealots react with rage and try to box you into one position or the other. It's as if they can't handle the issue's complexity and instead respond with emotional outbursts.”

“Democrats often discard science and common sense. It’s obvious when you consider the contradictions they put forth. Gender is a social construct yet transgenders can be born the wrong one. Diversity is the highest ideal, but a diversity of outcomes is unacceptable, and a diversity of opinions is intolerable. Equality for men and women is essential, but not when it comes to dangerous jobs, suicide rates, or family court.”

“question this in the Blue Church is to out yourself as a heretic. Deviance from the myth, especially backed with science from credible sources, is prohibited.

“Despite never once being cited by HR for discriminatory practices, or being known as a sexist, Google fired James for sharing his paper. Not only was James fired but he was publicly shamed for reporting on existing research, research which to any reasonable observer, is non-controversial. James made the ultimate mistake. He failed to understand the request for feedback was an empty one, that critical consideration of all sides of an argument was undesirable, even anathema to the cause.”

“There is no questioning the foundational myths of the social justice warrior. If you merely wish to discuss the assumptions or the data, you're a wretched misogynist and anti-diversity. If you doubt their conclusions, you're part of the patriarchy. And if you refuse to kowtow to their demands, they unleash the mob on you.”

“they ignored the most critical element of the matter: it is impossible to be born the wrong social construct. This bears repeating: If gender is a social construct, you cannot be born the wrong gender. Feminist theorists must choose: either gender is a social construct, and therefore transgenders are a logical impossibility, or transgenders are real, and therefore gender is something you're born with. Feminists don't care for logic or science. Apparently, they only care about their agenda: destroy men and everything related to them, including ideas of masculinity.”

“The subject matter may have been biased but the administration assumed we were decent human beings and before classes started all we needed to learn was where the library was.

“The world is tearing itself apart,” the retired General began. “This administration is compromising national security. In another few years he will be gone to go write his memoirs and tour the country doing speaking engagements before picking up a job in some think tank. Then guys like you and me will be left holding the mess that he created. We will have inherited an unworkable situation in the Middle East. “He forced Mubarak out; clearly the wrong move. We had a good deal going with Gaddafi and many worked very hard to get him into our camp, but we did flip him. Then the President helps the militias overthrow him without the slightest understanding of the region and the complicated east, west, and south tribal conflict overlaid on top of sectarian issues.”
