On the insanity of the Left


On the insanity of the Left.  In this case corporate America, trying to get out in front of the SJW's, and not just virtue signalling but virtue creating.
From the article in National Review:
Freddie deBoer, a far-left writer, summarizes the problem on the Left well: 
The woke world is a world of snitches, informants, rats. Go to any space concerned with social justice and what will you find? Endless surveillance. Everybody is to be judged. Everyone is under suspicion. Everything you say is to be scoured, picked over, analyzed for any possible offense. Everyone's a detective in the Division of Problematics, and they walk the beat 24/7. You search and search for someone Bad doing Bad Things, finding ways to indict writers and artists and ordinary people for something, anything. That movie that got popular? Give me a few hours and 800 words. I'll get you your indictments. That's what liberalism is, now — the search for baddies doing bad things, like little offense archaeologists, digging deeper and deeper to find out who's Good and who's Bad.
