"I drive food delivery for an online app to make rent and support myself and my young family. This is my new life. I once had a well paid job in what might be described as the social justice industry. Then I upset the wrong person, and within a short window of time, I was considered too toxic for my employer’s taste. I was publicly shamed, mobbed, and reduced to a symbol of male privilege. I was cast out of my career and my professional community. Writing anything under my own byline now would invite a renewal of this mobbing—which is why, with my editor’s permission, I am writing this under a pseudonym. He knows who I am.

In my previous life, I was a self-righteous social justice crusader. I would use my mid-sized Twitter and Facebook platforms to signal my wokeness on topics such as LGBT rights, rape culture, and racial injustice. Many of the opinions I held then are still opinions that I hold today. But I now realize that my social-media hyperactivity was, in reality, doing more harm than good...."

While I have no doubt that a guy like me will be first up against the wall in the Grand Proletarian Revolution ™, I take great pleasure in knowing that the guy that shoots me in the back of the head is probably next.

Jacobins.

But then the left is ignorant of history so they wouldn't understand. "All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again." (That's from TV so they might remember that.)

This actually was a pretty good article.

He was an "eat their own" victim. In a sense, that in itself was a type of justice. It appears he has been rehabilitated and now understands the sickness involved in the social justice vigilantism.

Reminds me of the book "Radical Son", by David Horowitz. He recalls his days as a far left radical in the book.
He pretty much ran the Bay Area Black Panthers, as a white jew, accounting, book keeping, office staff etc. Anyway fast forward to the early 80's and he got a case of red pill. He told his friends he was voting for Reagan and all them abandoned him, adios.

He needs to join the Walkaway movement. If he insists on voting for the nut jobs then he didn't learn squat from his experience.
