This is not a problem that just surfaced with the election of a new president. This is something western, specifically American, society has been dragging since the late 80's. What we're living thru right now is the apex of said problem, and it's probable its resolution will be horrific.
The problem here is political correctness, and the paradoxical hypocrisy of the left.
Before anyone calls me a "nazi" (and anyone who does so deserves to be called a "commie" by the same retarded rethoric), let me state that I don't trust or believe in any kind of racial supremacy.
But I can understand where the so-called "white supremacy" movement is carrying its strenght from. It's a social rebellion against decades of forced assimilation between cultures, decades of being pinned against each other. Decades of political correctness, of an artificial implementation of social progress while disdaining the organic process of it as too slow, or too permissive.
The rethoric of "staying quiet helps the opressor" proves this mindset, even though it is not defined who the opressor is, and it is not pointed out that staying away from polar opposites is not apathy, but rather a willful and constant effort to not succumb to a horde and lose all traits of individual conscience to it.
This is inevitable. There is no marching back. The far right is pushing back after so many years of indoctrination by the far left, just as the left pushed back after years of indoctrination by the right. We're all riding, again, the climax of a situation that began decades ago.
And if we're lucky, maybe this time western society can break this circle. Articles like this gives me some hope we could achieve liberalism in our lifetime, not the cruddy progressivism or stagnant conservativism currently embraced by the left and right, respectively.
Then again, that's hoping a little too much. I hope you're all ready to pay the consequences of your free speech, as many here state their ideological enemies should, because the consequences of your ideologies are coming back at you. Back at all of us.
"Expecting a troubleless life just because you're a "good" person is like expecting the bull to not crush you because you're a vegetarian."
