It sounds like The "social justice" movement is made up of some pretty bad people burning innocents as "heretics". We really should do something about that, do you have any suggestions?

I'll get down voted for this one but here goes.... One thing I've noticed of the social justice crowd is the ever shifting goal posts. Anyone to the right of you is an enabler of malicious ideas. Hardly ever are people criticized or ostracized for being to the left of you. There is a way to respectfully disagree but only when both parties actually respect each other. Labeling someone a nazi for voting for a right wing candidate results in the dehumanization of that person, thus removing any respect. (Here is the part where im going to get down voted). I live somewhere EXTREMELY liberal and if I go any direction for 10min it gets EXTREMELY conservative. I see both sides daily. One thing I realized is the lack of masculine social norms on the left and feminine cultural influence on the right. The right seems to have a minimal respect for how things 'feel'. They won't care if you are offended and rarely try to buffer any tumultuous conversations. The left has minimal respect for authority leaving the louder individual as the person more likely to be heard And listened too. Lefties also embrace the idea that words can be violent and that if someone is allowed to say something entirely opposed to their beliefs then responding with physical violence is okay because that person was violent first. Its rarely an issue on when both parties are on the left because the capitulation to the louder individual in addition to the seemingly similar trajectory of thought patterns. To create a more harmonious society the left needs to dig its feet in the ground and hold their position stronger against the more fringe radical members that would like elimination of ulterior ideas altogether in favor of a homogeneous and bland society. The right needs to listen to feminine influence more frequently to understand that sometimes the fear of violence can create a situation where violence otherwise would not occur.

  > Lefties also embrace the idea that words can be violent and that if someone is allowed to say something entirely opposed to their beliefs then responding with physical violence is okay because that person was violent first. That's the part where you are going to be downvoted and you know it. Everything else may be relatively right, but that's part is just plain wrong. There's no evidence that "lefties" are more violent, except your feeling, based on a bunch of articles the right has pushed toward you.

    Few days ago at Berkley. Someone got beat up for having right wing ideas. Happens quite a bit.

    At the moment, and as a European, it seems to me that lately: (I'm using quotes here because I don't think this is what the majority og the left, right or muslims want.) -"the left" very much more often fight in the streets, throw stones, destroy property, burn cars. This happens on a daily basid now. -"the right" has been responsible for a smaller number of much more deadly attacks. -together with "the muslims" who'll also bomb a subway or concert from time to time. A few decades back it was "the left" (RAF and others) that stood for the spectacular bombings and hostage takings while "the right" were shaving their heads, beating people and destroying property. None of them are right and I wish them all behind bars.
