Have we finally reached a political and cultural tipping point?

Have people grown weary of having to weigh every word they say for fear of offending someone?

I believe we have reached an impasse.  People are beginning to lose patience with the Social Justice Warriors.  They are finally saying, “That’s enough!”

For too long, we have allowed ourselves to be censored, ostracized, and unfairly labeled with one of the terrible words ending in “ist”.  We have been bullied into complacency.  The more we obeyed, the more they demanded that we comply with their ever-growing list of ridiculous standards.  Things have gotten to the point where the only way to avoid offending these self-appointed censors is to keep your mouth shut entirely.  They lay in wait for a word or a thought that does not align with their agenda.  They want to silence us through intimidation.

But…..

The Social Justice Warriors are beginning to turn on each other.  They have now started to censor their own peers.  It was inevitable that once they had succeeded in silencing their opponents, they would become drunk with power.  We gave them that power by being complacent and allowing ourselves to be silenced.  That is what happens when we are afraid to make waves.  That is what happens when we don’t stand up.

The recent attacks on celebrities and media personalities who refuse to comply with the “resist” movement have caused what I believe is a political and cultural tipping point.  People are beginning to realize that if they don’t use their voice, they will lose their voice.  The Social Justice Warriors have gotten too extreme for their own supporters.  The censors have begun censoring themselves.

We must never surrender our right to speak.  Our founders fought for that right with their courage and their blood.
