This is why I brought up ESR's essay about "kafkatrapping". Kafka made some very poignant metaphors about this kind of thing in his writing, and I applaud ESR for referencing Kafka in this context, because it's extremely apropos. I've seen this sort of thing first hand more than once through personal association within the mileu of left-wing activism. It's not a good reflection on their politics to put it mildly, and a large part of why I vociferously push back against it even while I often agree with the underlying complaints at the root of the debate. Violently pathological narcissistic hypocrisy is not a good way to address our societal issues.
