Anyone who still doubts that woke progressives can pose a material threat to the pursuit of truth should consider the case of David Shor. A week ago, as protests over the unjust police killing of George Floyd took place in major cities across the country, Shor—a 28-year-old political scientist at the Democratic consulting firm Civic Analytics—tweeted some observations about the successes and failures of various movements. He shared research by Princeton University's Omar Wasow, who has found that violent protests often backfire whereas nonviolent protests are far more likely to succeed. The impulse behind Shor's tweet was a perfectly liberal one: He feels progressive reforms

They are called snowflakes for a reason. This trend was apparent when Universities began creating safe spaces for them with coloring books, puppies and hot chocolate. PTSD is the new buzzword. Everything can give one PTSD. Seeing a Conservative on their campus, getting a lower grade than they think they deserve, being told no. I even saw a young black lunatic woman railing on about collective generational PTSD caused by fear that the police will kill you if you are black.

#1, let me add to that. Last year I had a Jewish undergrad ask me for special consideration on an exam "because my people have been persecuted for 6000 years." My default reaction to student excuses/whines/complaints is just to laugh at them, but this girl's entitlement was off the charts.

The only safety anyone deserves is from possession of their own personal firearm, and the knowledge that people around you are also armed and willing to retaliate if you are unjustly attacked. The atmosphere of personal safety in your community due to the presence of armed police, was brutalized in several ways.
First police are essentially private security, hired by a community on behalf of their citizens. They were of the people, locally, and were friends and neighbors who meditated disputes and acted as the first line of defense, should threats arise that endangered the community.
This began to disappear as economic mobility became necessary at the end of the Viernam War. As the sense of neighborhood and community vanished, so did the police's ability to identify and defend their community that had turned into a fractious pool of strangers. this had always been a problem in large cities. While the beat cop still managed, with difficulty, some areas, tagged as 'dangerous' would be policed by officers TRAINED to view their charges as the enemy. This was particularly true of slum communities built around the new desperate poor created through Welfare and the LBJ rendering of the Civil Rights Act, which was used to turn the faith-based multi-generational, tight knit Black family communities, into faithless, dependent, clumps of desperate humanity, rife with drugs, violence, and trained in entitlement to keep them voting for the people who destroyed them.
Top of their list of antagonists was the strawman, "THE MAN", epitomized by the police who tried to maintain order amongst people they didnt know, live with, and were portrayed as enemies to be defended against. MLK's legacy was flushed down the comode.
But liberalism, being what it is, is about manipulating people. Manipulating through fear is much easier than encouraging people to higher prospects. Besides, Liberals want to be 'Elite', and are loathe to pull up those less fortunate to their lofty status.
This also requires the identification and vilification of first, those the dependent already hate, and then whoever their political targets are.
We are reaping the whirlwind the Liberals have sown; in religion, in academia, and in business, since WWI.
