Hating half the human race for the fact that they have slightly different genes is the sign of a sick mind.
Given that sentiment, I am completely justified in my hatred of oppressive Lefties and their disingenuous craptology arguments and mean-spirited argumentativeness.

Ah, SJWs.
Remember, the crazy shit we hear from the fringes becomes the next “reasonable” non-negotiable demand from the “mainstream” left in about twenty years.
It seems to me that this kind of thing can’t go on forever. A society can’t endure this forever. But maybe that’s the idea. People like Robin Morgan are universally coffeehouse revolutionaries at the very least. Read Gramsci if you want to understand. They hate America, they hate men, they hate the free market, just as they still hate Daddy for not buying them a pony when they were nine. And they want to tear it all down. They want to see it all burn. Gramsci, the Italian Marxist, dressed this kind of thinking up in ten-dollar words when he wrote of “cultural hegemony,” by which he meant, basically, the old order is corrupt and the duty of the proper revolutionary is to sow societal chaos. Everything that your society deems to be normal and honorable is a conspiracy to keep the “masses” enslaved, every law, every custom. Reject bourgeois morality. Condemn the normal and healthy, especially condemn self-reliance and personal responsibility (for these are obstacles to acceptance of the glorious Nanny State the Revolution will bring), extol the deviant and repugnant. Set children against their parents, set men against women, glorify theft and murder, until society crumbles and the “masses” are desperate for order. Then give it to them, good and hard.
We saw the success of this method in Weimar Germany, but Emma Goldman and her “Spartacist” terrorists didn’t count on a competing revolutionary, a little guy with a Charlie Chaplin mustache some of you history buffs may have seen pictures of… but that is just a minor detail and of course we have nothing to learn from history. History, too, is part of “cultural hegemony” and it too must burn. Right? Right.
It begs the question, if it all does go smash, what will she do? Does she have any useful skills for a post collapse scenario? My bet is, she does not, but she hasn’t thought through her desire to see “society” fall. To her ilk, “society” is oppression and mean white males… it’s not electricity always available with the flip of a switch, gas in the pump without fail (and usually with no wait), it’s not your fair-trade quinoa at Whole Foods whenever you stop in. *Those* things are taken for granted.
“They hate America, they hate men, they hate the free market, just as they still hate Daddy for not buying them a pony when they were nine. And they want to tear it all down. They want to see it all burn.”
Chillingly reminded of that oft-quoted line from the movie The Dark Knight:
“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
Guess some women do too.
In the spirit of movie quotes: ( from Wikiquote, a sequence from Tombstone )
Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?
Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has a great empty hole through the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.
Wyatt Earp: What does he need?
Doc Holliday: Revenge.
Wyatt Earp: For what?
Doc Holliday: Being born.
I think that’s all that’s behind people like this. They have an innate, undefined rage. They merely choose different outlets for it, whether it’s hating men, women, other people’s freedoms, or a myriad of other things.
tkdkerry has put a solid finger on it. That kind of inchoate frustration and anger is nothing new; most of us go through it in our teenage years and even early adulthood, as we struggle to accept that sometimes the world simply doesn’t work out the way we think it should.
But some, I think, never get over it. They never get over that childish anger, never accept that the world doesn’t give a busted penny about what they think it should be. And it drives them to try to remake it, forcibly if needed.
