““There’s a reason that “Social Justice Warrior” has become a pejorative. It’s not just the Right attempting to besmirch the name. No, these people do it just fine all by themselves. This is not a cohesive social movement; this is a bunch of whining babies attempting to one-up one another in the Oppression Olympics and having contests to see who can call out someone the fastest. If the Left wants the win the culture wars, it’s going to have to do better than that.” So true.”
The condition of contemporary leftism is that it insists on immaturity as the only form of political ihnocence acceptable to it. But then it has to deal with the consequences of immaturity, which is that people around them express borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder as direct expressions of their immaturity. (These are modes of handling the world when one is in an immature state.) Consequently, cultural leftism is bogged down dealing with its own basket cases, and never rises to the level of political activism or political critique.
