This “problem” is twofold. One is that the modern P.C. SJW Left is the most hypocritical, inconsistent and absurd “establishments” in human history, so if there is any time when it is edgy and cool and fun to be “counterculture”, it is now. The various memes from the “4Chan” crowd are almost entirely without any sinister significance at all — they are just the new “punk rock”, mischievously provoking outbreaks of hysteria and pearl-clutching by the establishment. The original punk-rock movement was never sincerely neo-Nazi even though they used the iconographia for shock value and nothing else. Pure ignorance to the extent of a kind of rejoicing in ignorance, underlay their shallow embracing of the inexcusable. Real Nazis would have had no tolerance at all of punk rock and its fans.
Real Nazis today, (of which there is only a tiny handful banished to far underground in modern society) have no tolerance at all of Milo Yiannopoulos and the various mischievous provocateurs of the hysterical, book-burning, witch-hunting P.C. Left. The real Nazis fully understand that Milo is emphatically not on their side at all. Why can’t the P.C. Left be sincere enough to accept this too?
This brings me to the second aspect of the twofold problem. The P.C. SJW Left is not sincere about this at all; their bad faith is total. They are acting like actual Nazis, in their use of completely fabricated slanders and labels against political opponents whom they conflate automatically with “the most inexcusable” of their perceived “opposite end of the political spectrum”. The SJW Left does not have the sincerity or good faith to accept that there is a range of positions, many of which are perfectly valid challenges of radical new progressive positions.
The SJW Left is adopting ever-more radical new positions and calling them “orthodoxies” when these positions have not had any length of time at all in social-majority acceptance, unlike “conservative” positions. Instead of accepting that they are the utopian progressives who are moving the goalposts of “morality” faster than most people can keep up, they claim instant “orthodoxy” for their position and smear anyone opposed to it as a “far-right radical”. If Martin Luther King could be transmogrified into the current day, he would be appalled, would say so, and would instantly be de-personed as a Nazi and a White Supremacist.
The “de-personing” or de-humanizing is the worst aspect of this, and is a typical totalitarian tactic to justify violence that is actually not justified at all. This is the tactic of real Nazis in real history. The young hordes of chanting fools are indistinguishable from the real Hitler Youth of history, in their ignorance and their brainwashed condition. They are incapable of argument, have no basis of evidence and reason on which to conduct argument; all they have is labels of identity groups that they have been brainwashed to believe are evil. As with the most absurd theocratic systems of centuries past, they have been prevented from reading or engaging with any “heretical” literature or discussion, and just as with those absurd theocracies, it is suppression of the truth that is the objective.
Martin Luther refused to mirror the tactics of the Papacy and “burn books”: he said something like this: “but their folly is manifest”. No establishment with integrity and belief in the truth of their own positions, is scared of argument and debate and even ridicule. Ridiculing “good” just makes one look like the village idiot; ridiculing the wrong and hypocritical, is devastating.
