#1 It was never "antiracism".

It didn't "become" cultish and creepy -- it always was.

In looking at his Twitter bio, I can see why Mr. Kay is so clueless.

#2 So I decided to see what book Chad Sanders wrote and this is what I found.

I'm sure this isn't him, but it's hilarious in light of...everything.

Warning: Amazon link (I don't give 'em my money) and NSFW.

#3 I have a family member and a couple people I knew for years that I haven't spoken to in a while and politics had nothing to do with it. If someone can't stand my act, I consider having that out in the open a good thing.

#5 Next public denunciations of your family members.

In the age of fartbook and sh*tter we already have that...

#6 Yup, this is right out of Mao's cultural revolution. Denouncing the elders.

After Mao achieved his objectives, he abandoned his red guards and never thought about them again.

#7 "Good point, son. I'm rewriting my will to leave everything to BLM."

#8 Never liked those family members anyway and it was a real stretch to call them "loved ones". More like "Ones I had to pretend to like for family harmony."

#9 Like in a cult?

#10 The Cultural Revolution comes to America, waiting for the Wookie to hand out little Red Books. Really, this is beyond the pale, even for socialists, it is suggesting emotional coercion against the sane remnants of American exceptionalism.

#11  Really, this is beyond the pale,

Remember when that comedienne whose name I can’t remember advised her young audience to warn Grams and Grampy that they’d lose their grandchildren forever if they voted for whichever Republican was running for president that year? This isn’t new, it’s just more broadly targeted.

#12 Funny thing is the target audience doesn't actually read the NY Times. They'll have to be guided to it through pinterest or instagram or something.

#13 Never occurs to them that what if their knee-jerk support of different issues actually causes more damage than good. I mean what if Black Lives Matters was a Stalinist front-group and you've now forced everyone to give them money. Will you be spared when they plant a bomb in your local bank? Or on the subway in the name of revolution? Maybe you'll get a contributors thanks in the announcement they provide to the media taking credit for the bombing.
