I think the comments in his letter are not nuanced enough and in his anger he overstates a few things, which open his words up too much to his critics, always a problem. (one of the great services our adversaries do us is forcing refinement of thinking and writing.) Despite this he is talking about a real phenomenon that does need to be addressed and which i have yet to see addressed by those i call the "woke mob" or their acolytes. specifically, the impact that enforced ideology has on people who do not wish themselves or their children (or friends or family or anyone they care about) being subjected to. it is a violation of a person's right to conscience, to the develop of their unique moral sensitivity to the difference between right and wrong. the forced conversion to a utopian belief system was practiced by the christian church for millennia, the world has not been the better for it. The Darkening Age by Catherine Nixey shows step by step how this process unfolded in the ancient world and the inevitable movement into violence under the guise of purity and social justice. that so few of the SJ activists are willing to directly respond to the harm being done indicates that the believe that our conversion is for our and the world's own good; that they no longer have any sense of the necessity for individual autonomy in democratic societies. but more, they are attacking the foundation of what it means to be an individual thinking human being and they are doing so without compassion or a sense of the violence that does to a human being. Those of us who believe that these rights should not be transgressed must begin to set limits on the behavior of the woke mob (who are not SJ activists of good heart but fanatic ideologues wearing SJ clothing). if we do not, we risk personally learning the lessons that too many cultures have learned over our difficult human history.
