Time to play with fire again…
This piece can pretty much be viewed as a giant ‘Whisky Tango Foxtrot’ at the way that ongoing political correctness and so-called ‘Social Justice’ Movements have combined with the torch and pitchfork mobs of popular public opinion and the supreme Star Chamber court of the mass media to create an environment that puts the term ‘Social Justice’ right up there with Orwell’s Ministries of ‘Love’, ‘Truth’, ‘Peace’, and ‘Plenty’.
Further inspiration comes from two similar Biblical verses (KJV), namely Exodus 20:5, and Deuteronomy 5:9
“…I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
Because, quite frankly, the whole idea of following generations always paying for the ‘sins and crimes’* of their forefathers is perhaps the single, most cherished idea of all Social Justice Warriors (SJWs). Indeed, what’s even more telling is that somewhere along the way, the actual, Bibilical quote that I’ve outlined has passed into popular, public consciousness as the cliché: ‘Unto the SEVENTH Generation’.
After all, gotta spread out that guilt as much as possible…
*Final caveat: I am NOT advocating any viewpoint other than the very specific one that I have outlined here. There are no hidden statements that are somehow trying to 'justify' things such as rape or violence or anything else. Anyone, who suggests otherwise is very seriously misinterpreting my words.

Trust me, I feel you on this more than you realise. This is from a guy, who has spent most of his teens and early adulthood cherishing a set of beliefs and worldview that always tended to skew to the liberal side, at least when it came to social issues... And then, somewhere along the iine, I realised that a lot of the 'progressive' causes that had always been so important to me had somehow morphed into monsters that I no longer recognised, and what's worse, realised that I no longer even like.
Well, as I already said in my earlier piece: Israeli Apartheid Kristallnacht
We sincerely want to right the wrongs,
And we're oh-so-progressive, we boast,
But in the end nearly everyone,
Becomes the thing they hate the most...
We sincerely want to right the wrongs,
And we're oh-so-progressive, we boast,
But in the end nearly everyone,
Becomes the thing they hate the most...
