Skai Jackson: The poster child of the authoritarian activist left

[Antonio the Sixth]

We live in a cruel, bitter, quasi-barbaric society that values punishment and humiliation over education and empathy. This manifests itself in a myriad ways - including, clearly, among movements whose stated goal is to change that. But the idea that this represents a specific ideological failing of "SJWs" or "PC culture gone wild" or whatnot is ludicrous and can only be maintained with an extreme degree of selective outrage.

Perhaps some of the outrage is selective, but that's only because far-left activists will clearly be a bigger problem in the long term than far-right ones due to the demographic makeup of the country right now.

Huh, I didn't think you'd be a proponent of the "demographics is destiny" line of thought. Usually the people who trot it out are either libs (who salute it as the magical solution to their political incompetence) or far-rightists (who see it as the end of civilization and whatnot).

Anyway, no, this is ludicrous. The current structure of American society has a clear and obvious way in favor of the far-right and against the far-left (just look at how the police treats the Proud Boys compared to BLM) and this isn't going to magically change when more brown people get in. It's just not how societies work.

are there non-SJWs currently doxing children?

...do you seriously, honestly think that's an open question? No, I don't have a specific instance in mind, because guess what, I'm not going around looking for and recording all instances of doxxing on the internet, but do you seriously think it's a "SJW"-specific issue?

not at all, it was just regular lefties that doxed that Covington kid for smiling uncomfortably after that lying Indian got in his face.  I'm sure there have been been non-leftists that have doxed kids too.  Every time it's done, we should talk sh**t on the assholes that did it, reguardless their politics.

Yeah, and that was the point of my post. It wasn't the angle of the article that Dule posted, though.

American society may have a shared amount of power at the level of government but when it comes to the influence in media and academia, the left clearly dominates.

Uh, no. The mainstream media traffics in facile pseudo-centrist both-sides narratives and sensationalistic bullsh*t that typically (though by no means always) redound on the right's favor. And of course it's flanked explicit Republican propaganda vehicles like, you know, the most watched news channel in the country. As for academia, there's a pretty huge gap between the politics of undergrads on campus (who are almost no power except as a slight nuisance) and those of the faculty, which lean liberal at best but with huge variance (I'm seeing that in my own department). The administration, meanwhile, act like your standard corporate managers: they pay lip service to woke causes when it gives them good publicity while doing nothing substantive to advance them (and in the meantime continue to squeeze their workers for all they're worth).

This braindead narrative really needs to f**king die.

So? By calling out a particular instance of this behavior, the article condemns all behavior of this kind. If an article is written condemning a white supremacist terror attack, it doesn't have to end with "Btw, we also condemn all acts of terrorism, especially those by Muslim extremists, which make up the vast majority of terror attacks." It's implied that if you condemn this instance of doxing, you condemn doxing in general.

Condemning bad behavior is always fine. But when you use bad behavior as evidence for a specific narrative, then obviously that narrative can be challenged based on whether or not it's borne out empirically. I just don't buy that muh PC culture drives a wave of doxxing the way white supremacist ideology is radicalizing a number of white men and leading some of them toward violent action. The difference is that there's non-anecdotal evidence for the latter.
