The SJW mind virus is really scary because it's spreading - and it's spreading because it's evolved to a point where it's become immune the standard antibiotic arguments. Its success is due to its adaption to pressures - empathy and reason - that killed what preceded it.

e.g., I once tried to put myself on the same side of a SJW, thus trying to defeat her 'you are an enemy' defenses. I argued we both meant to do good.
But her mindvirus was ready - built into it was the pattern of resistance to identifying with me under any conditions.

The SJW mindvirus is loaded with a handy "Power = wrong" trick, which among other things, neutralizes the need to actually grapple with any arguments made from someone with power. All the previous iterations of SJW that didn't include this facet, died out.

Our continual sanitation of the SJW's ancestors has given rise to this super resilient form.
But we sanitize a lot of damaging ideas - why was this the one to evolve into a supervirus? Did we fail to sanitize all the way? Does it have high mutation rate?

The SJW mentality has a lot in common with religious doctrine. Both have evolved in a way that spread quickly and dug in deep roots. I think I'm gonna write an article about the aspects of both these frameworks that make them self-propagating and difficult to dislodge.

It's spreading pretty fast in certain circles. There's lots of areas of culture which haven't been exposed to it yet.

It’s only once THEY get put through the meat grinder that they realize how bad of an idea that way of thinking is.

It also keeps victims in high fever: if you're not a disabled third-world lesbian mansplaining survivor, you're always open to attack by someone more intersectioned. The only defense is non-stop loyalty signaling, like apparatchiks breathlessly applauding comrade Stalin.

In your article delve into the allure of this manner of thinking! I think it comes from moral laziness. It provides an easy way to feel morally righteous. We all want to feel moral, which is natural. They are just hacking their terminal value.
