I empathize, but are you seriously reccomending killing SJWs? Because that's where the idea leads. They escalate, we escalate. Last one standing wins.
If you look at the history of nations before the outbreaks of civil wars, you see the escalation of verbal demonization, control of media narratives to label the out-group as enemies of the people and protests/social gatherings start turning violent.
AKA, the USA in 2019.
America (as a concept) is truly exceptional, but Americans as people are just like the rest of the assholes on the planet. And technology and education do not inoculate humans as evidenced by numerous civil wars (or civil uprisings or ethnic cleansing) in the past century.
While I am not calling for the murder of SJWs, I expect the culture war to go hot in the USA. 250 years is a historical norm for nation to last, so there's no reason to believe the USA is ensured or guaranteed a peaceful and united future.
You are right that escalation ends in civil war.
However, if those opposing SJWs do not swiftly escalate, they will lose the culture war. The "hope" is that escalation against SJWs would break their stranglehold on the culture by exposing their hypocrisy on a large scale while making individual SJWs fear the same "cancel culture" they have inflicted on everyone else.
Use their wokeness against them, make them eat each other, make them Reeeeeeeeeee over stupid shit. The first dwindles their number and distracts their energy inwards, the second helps make people realize just how fucking crazy and evil they are.
Or in short, make them live under their own rules.
Yes, but taken to the next step where the retaliation is supercharged.
In the case of Quinn, escalation would demanding her firing from DC and scrapping of her book. When DC doesn't quickly comply, the escalation would be hunting through the lives of DC executives and employees for any whiff of wrongthink and then blowing that up large, demanding even more firings. Also if DC fires Quinn or anyone, the escalation would be hunt through their staff anyway and burn them down anyway for having hired Quinn in the first place. Even obedience does not grant mercy.
In regards to SNL, the escalation would be demand NBC to replace Lorne Michaels because previous SNL skits have wrongthink and then hammer NBC for its historical lack of wokeness, demanding firings of all key people.
It would need to get nasty and would require a dedicated social media team with a budget. The level of relentless attack necessary requires a full time staff with resources to rally supporters as targeted weapons.
It would actually be a really fun job!
