A few years ago, my blogger friend Erick Erickson said that of the Left about all of us on the Right: You WILL be made to care!!! Too tied up with your family? Too bad. Invested in your career? Doesn’t matter to them.
Doing “good civic works” and volunteering according to your precepts and faith? You scum – that’s not what we say is good, civil, or what you should be doing. ONLY what we demand is “good enough.” We aim to make you care OUR way.
And that is how the last decade has gone – don’t toe their absolute philosophical Woke line, and they will hammer you at every point they can. They will bully you, hound you, scream at you, doxx you, and go after your friends, career, and family until you give up in abject misery. And all they will do is smile for a split second and wait just for a femtosecond to see if you will stray from your bondage to their causes.
Now, Erick has a bit longer one – about the Left’s DIE (Diversity, Inclusivity, and Equity) tactic to break your will another way:
We will never be diverse enough, inclusive enough, or equitable enough because if we were, all the DEI employees would lose their jobs. They will always find new grievance to keep their employment.

He’s right, you know. Some do it because they are missionaries and true believers and will, like the Spanish Inquisition, do anything to “save your soul” (as in “we had to burn the village down to save it”). Other see a way to do what they want AND get paid for it.
And then the last, like the homeless schtick, the BLM and Antifa rioters, will ALWAYS tell us that WE aren’t good enough for them and, therefore, we must pay them more to get more out of us…and never solve the problem.
THAT is their career and their racket. That’s all they know how to do – as Obama said, “rub that wound raw” to get the Have-Nots to get more from the Haves. What a shame it would be if these grifters solved the problem they are “organized” for and got sweet paychecks for doing so.
Realize that they HAVE solved “the” problem. No, not for the oppressed, the assaulted, the hungry, the homeless – THEIR problem.
Getting money from you. And that means shoving themselves into a more extreme position…
…and shilling you to support it.
