Winst, I am definitely detecting more than a hint of masochism in your anti-SJW posts. Don't get me wrong; what you denounce as idiocy is certainly idiocy. But if you're honest wouldn't you admit to a small glow of satisfaction every time you come across some new, unprecedentedly infantile and narcissistic piece of borderline-incoherent, posturing twaddle? Don't you find yourself repressing a twinge of disappointment when some op-ed or blog post turns out to be not quite as inane as you'd first thought -- or rather...hoped? In fact, isn't 'come across' a bit of a misrepresentation -- don't you actively seek this stuff out? (And when I say 'actively' I mean, erm, 'obsessively'.)
Believe me, I'm saying all this from a very empathetic place. it takes one to know one. And I don't deny you're performing a service, keeping us informed about the latest metastases of The Crazy. Perhaps you should change your strapline to that great quote from Schiller I recently came across again: 'Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain'. But, thinking about it, don't even those words carry a salutary implication of 'realism' -- ie a kind of resignation tinged with irony?
Anyway, I thought you might be amused by this little wised-up corner or tha Reddits:
Yikes. Little as I like the original article, a link to Stormfront is far, far worse. There is a difference between stupidity and meanness.
As for the original article: WTF is LBGQTI+?? I think they got it wrong, anyway. All the colors of the rainbow deserves all the letters of the alphabet: LBGQTIABCDEFHJKMNOPRSTYVWXYZ+.
