@Beemann That's a political party strategy

It can work.

I'll split the difference.

It's an organizational strategy in general

It rhymes with Cradle now.

Doesn't have to be repubs

@Beemann I don't follow your argument.

I'm thinking more of how social justice types will conspire to get each other into positions of power.

They justify their changes based on a perceived wrong

Or obtain access to major platforms to impose social norms and persuasion.

but does that really work?

Like the prevalence of school shootings or police brutality

So what, try and turn SJWs into "thin blue line" types?

I think the Republican Party is prone to be pushed in the right direction with youthful involvement

@Paradox yes.

Not convinced.

How do you think they got the universities?

How did they get the wealthy to endorse socialism?

You don't even have to adopt their position on it, you can just address the problem as you see it really, as long as you're sure you're being honest about it

I've been volunteering at my local Republican Party HQ

No. I mean, do you think they have been able to impose norms...?

And the older folks that help out there kind of adore having me around.

Like the example I gave for police brutality is better systems for training and assessing police action, which leads to more funding for cops

Who are often understaffed and poorly funded already

@Paradox Yes. What do you think happened to Reddit over the past year or two?

What is a modern university?

Have you been to a university? every office has an "ally" stamp on it.

I talk a bit about classical liberal concepts, (avoiding the L word) and they keep calling me a gift from God. (I avoid the A word too...)

That tells students that they are to also be an "ally" if they want respect.

And lo and behold, the core SJWs are among young colelge educated.

And, have universities taken a hit because of it? culturally.

A bit.

But only really among the right.

The left supports them wholeheartedly.

And let's talk reddit.

Have you seen young people these days?

Seriously though, guys. get involved in your local Republican Party. Take a note from Sargon before it's too late.

Reddit drones.

The entire left, the left pary, the extremists on the left...?

All parts.

The extremists in particular.
