#7  #6 Good post. My particular concern is the speed at which the Narrative and its vocabulary continue to mutate. E.g., five years ago (or less) "woman" would have been considered a non-controversial term. It's tough to have a discussion when the language of the discussion switches from Farsi to Finnish after five minutes.

#6  the big problem I see is the lack of a common language: They talk about "feelings", micro-aggressions and patriarchy. To a non-woke person this sounds like demented babbling.

it reminds me of the abolitionists and pro-slavery people talking past each other in the 1850's.

We had much greater differences with the Soviets than we had with the Confederates, but during the Cold War both sides agreed on one thing: Nuclear war would be very, very bad. This one thread kept the peace long enough for the two sides to develop a common language that peacefully resolved our differences.

#4  Don't threaten school board members. Dont follow them into restrooms. Limit your activities to speaking out against the policies and running against the members.
