nothing in that memo should have triggered anyone

this was just a perfect example of an emotional mob that needed to destroy someone

this Google shite probably won't be some sort of inflection/tipping point, but it may be

it just has so much of the dark side of progressivism

claims of promoting/desiring diversity and attacking diversity of thought

running victory laps in celebration of their hypocrisy

really weird, vague threats while in victory mode

I believe Brooks hits on something in this piece with regards to a lack of belief in moral absolutes. Our society believes there is nothing absolutely wrong except sexism, racism and homophobia. It approaches a religious level fervor. And the acts of worship in this religion are destroying anyone who knows something differing from the new orthodoxy and alternately celebrating anti heroes.

In the new religion, a violent criminal who attacks a police officer and is shot is a saint and a baker who refuses to bake a wedding cake is a demon.

Nothing in any memo should ever trigger anyone.

The "triggered" phenomenon is an admission of the left's inability to rationally address issues.
