SJWs are sympathetic to everyone in theory, as a mere emotional response. But as Leftist the things they want to do to save us are also the things that destroy us. Patrick Moynihan spoke of the desire held by progressives to save society from itself any years ago, but did he really understand that a cluster **** of loosely related ideologies that even then comprised the Left would not be able to long restrain its wackier expressions?

Yes, there was a Left that was too far Left for people like Moynihan but those people who were the extreme Left had already had a long history of being social chameleons, of chewing their way into woodwork and finding fellow travelers. They could not stomach real conservatives but could string along old style progressives (who were already bad enough!). They did exactly this and eventually under Obama gave the last of those like Moynihan their walking papers if they weren’t going to toe the line.

Modern SJWs are of a piece with those for whom there is no extreme Left too extreme for them any more. Their sympathy is worthless, like empathy from a Red Guard who hasn’t yet decided to denounce you.
