The problem here is you consider being a criminal, criminally insane or extremely high on drugs just "culture." You refuse to draw the line of social exclusion

The problem here is you consider being a criminal, criminally insane or extremely high on drugs just "culture." You refuse to draw the line of social exclusion anywhere. There is no unacceptable behavior because it's all just "culture." Is rampant theft a culture war issue? Is people not being charged for repeated random assaults a culture war issue? Is people out of their minds on meth, and passing out for hours and even dying from overdoses in public bathrooms a culture war issue? This is why we must have the Target store with all merchandise locked in glass cases, and the Starbucks with no seating or bathrooms in order to accommodate San Francisco's unique "culture" of acceptance of those who are criminals, criminally insane or high on drugs. They would all be billionaires except for systemic bias, so we must accommodate them. The slippery slope isn't done yet. They've even started to let people off lightly on murder charges in Oakland, the ultimate strawman argument comes true[1]! So progressive!

Where did I express an opinion about refusing to draw a social exclusion line or in fact any of that? I just said that you've dragged all those topics kicking and screaming into this conversation which is supposed to be about TFA on "Great Founder Theory". This isn't about Targets or Starbucks bathrooms or any of the other pet topics you're trying to introduce.

  Bringing it back to the original discussion, most of this thread is people hating on the idea that there are exceptional individuals who change the world. The dominant ideology in San Francisco is that everyone is totally equal in all aspects except for systemic discrimination which is the polar opposite of that. It has gone so far down the slippery slope in that direction that absurd things are starting to happen. The opposite of the Great Man Theory is the Everyone is Great Theory in essence and that latter belief has caused all sorts of havoc when put into practice. We need to readjust the balance so that we recognize that there are bad people out there who are not great who don't belong walking around in public and free to do as they please.

    The opposite of progress is due to the great man is that progress is due to teams of people, not that everyone is great. I get that it is something you care about a lot but that's not anything to do with this. Have a good one.
