It's another edition of ''woke'' white liberals are ruining our society and Basil tells you exactly why!
Let's start with the most intolerant:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...judice/583072/Sounds familiar? It should. It's the core Hillary voting Democrat electorate. It's also funny because they are consistently the ones who brag that their education makes them the most open minded. Quite the opposite in fact. Everyone is more open minded than them.In general, the most politically intolerant Americans, according to the analysis, tend to be whiter, more highly educated, older, more urban, and more partisan themselves. This finding aligns in some ways with previous research by the University of Pennsylvania professor Diana Mutz, who has found that white, highly educated people are relatively isolated from political diversity. They don’t routinely talk with people who disagree with them;

the most politically intolerant county in America appears to be Suffolk County, Massachusetts, which includes the city of Boston.
They are also the most racist.
They are also the most mislead about perceiving the other side:
He found, for example, that age, race, urbanicity, partisan loyalty, and education did coincide with more prejudice
These are the people whose arguments rely on ''you are a Nazi''.and Democrats rate Republicans as even further to the right.
A broader academic study evidenced that woke white liberals dumb down their opinions when interacting with non-whites, thus actually show an implicit racial superiority bias towards them, while white conservatives actually treat everyone the same:

Woke white liberals are also likely to believe that there's an extreme problem with racism in society:

Despite the fact that racism is actually waaaay down:

More stats. Woke white liberals (on both sides of the Atlantic) are:
-the most likely to block people on social media because they have a different opinion;
-most likely to say they can't be friend with someone who has a different opinion;
-most likely to feel uncomfortable to have a roomate with different political opinion;

They are also concentrated in the following fields of work:
Academia, media and internet services.

Over time, conservatives haven't moved much to the right, and certainly not even remotely as liberals have moved to the left:
which is obviously why they resort to arguments like ''everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi''. Well duh, they don't even see the center anymore.
What's my take? I think their intolerance is their biggest strength. This is because of the Tyranny of the Intolerant Minority paradox:

In the long term, it's the most intolerant that prevails, because the tolerant gradually shifts his positions to accomodate the intolerant.
This is why I advocate for an intolerant approach towards these people. Given the fields they work in, what I recommend is:
-eliminate any kind of federal and state funding to the academia; split it in social justice based and free enquiry based; let the market handle the rest. People who work in social justice academia cannot work in a free enquiry one;
- media wise, sue them into bankruptcy; as the Covington case showed, liberal media make a habit of trying to ruin the lives of people who they hate; great; sue them for everything they have (it's happening, Covington kids are suing CNN/WaPo and a number of woke white journalists for 250 million dollars);

in short, you want these people to end up losing everything they have and become beggars on the street; they started it;
-split Silicon Valley monopolies;
