Generosity begets generosity, kindness begets kindness, hatred begets hatred, and cruelty begets cruelty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When this principle is applied to the cultural elitism of the Left it is inevitable that, over time, they will eventually devour themselves. That\u2019s because cultural elitism is based on self-righteous judgmentalism which, in turn, begets even more self-righteous judgmentalism. And so, by its very nature, the circle gets smaller and smaller until the ally of today becomes the enemy of tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here are 7 times the Left devoured their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>1) Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City \u2014 and himself black \u2014 is by all means a progressive politician, evidenced by his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/new-york-eric-adams-florida-dont-say-gay-campaign_n_624c935ce4b0587dee6f7839\"><span>encouraging<\/span><\/a><span> Floridians offended by the falsely-labeled \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill to move to New York where they will find acceptance and tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yet when he had the temerity to challenge BLM, Hank Newsome, a regional BLM leader <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/us\/black-lives-matter-chapter-co-founder-calls-mayor-eric-adams-a-e2-80-98coon-e2-80-99-in-fox-news-interview\/ar-AAWrFVz?ocid=uxbndlbing\"><span>called<\/span><\/a><span> him a \u201ccoon\u201d who \u201cspews conservative and Republican talking points.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>What did Adams do to incur Newsome\u2019s ire?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On April 14, speaking on a NY news channel, Adams, addressing rising rates of violent crime in the city, said, \u201cWhere are all those who stated Black Lives Matter? If Black lives matters, then the thousands of people I saw on the street when Floyd was murdered should be on the street right now stating that the lives of these Black children that are dying every night matters. They can\u2019t be hypocrites.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That is a line you do not cross. You do not challenge BLM hypocrisy, even as a black mayor concerned about black children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>2) Phyliss Chesler, now a retired psychology professor, wrote an August 2020 op-ed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spectator.us\/got-canceled-phyllis-chesler-israel-palestine\/\"><span>titled<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201cHow I Got Cancelled.\u201d In it, she describes herself as \u201ca trendy feminist icon, a \u2018public intellectual\u2019, garlanded not once, but twice, by front-page <\/span><i><span>New York Times<\/span><\/i><span> book reviews.\u201d Indeed, she says, \u201cI\u2019d appeared on the cover of their magazine and on their bestseller lists. I was quoted in the <\/span><i><span>Times<\/span><\/i><span> all the time and in their counterpart media from coast to coast and all over Europe.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Then, in 2003, she published <\/span><i><span>The New Antisemitism<\/span><\/i><span> in which, she explains, \u201cI dared to hold the Western \u2018progressive\u2019 intelligentsia responsible for collaborating with Islam\u2019s Big Lies about Israel and the Jews. I also suggested that in our time, anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>From then on, she was virtually cancelled by the <\/span><i><span>Times<\/span><\/i><span>, but she pressed on, undeterred, determined to expose some of the worst practices of Islam, including honor killing. As a result, in 2017, when it was announced that she was going to address this subject at the University of Arkansas Law School, three anti-Zionist professors threatened violence if she delivered the lecture, even via Skype. The university, in turn, caved to their demands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>3) Podcast giant Joe Rogan, himself a pot-smoking, potty-mouthed, Bernie Sanders supporter incurred the ire of the Left when he dared to use his massive Spotify platform to air opinions that challenged some of the standard talking points about COVID vaccines. As a result, music icons like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/video\/8580271\/joni-mitchell-joins-neil-young-pulls-music-from-spotify-over-joe-rogan-podcast\"><span>pulled their music<\/span><\/a><span> from Spotify, calling for a boycott.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ironically, Rogan has often stated that his parents were hippies, which explains some of his worldview. Yet it was aging hippies who led the charge against him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>4) Bestselling author J. K. Rowling has come under unrelenting fire from the Left for transgressing transgender boundaries, daring to say that it is not \u201cpeople\u201d who menstruate but \u201cwomen\u201d who menstruate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As a result, trans activists and their allies have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/cltr\/jk-rowling-new-transgender-cancel-culture.html\"><span>tried<\/span><\/a><span> to deplatform her and get her publicity firm to ditch her, not to mention showered her with vile death threats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yet for years Rowling has been considered a strong feminist and a gay ally, even <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/j-k-rowling-confirms-dumbledore-grindewald-are-gay-fans-angry-they-dont-identify-that-way-in-books-and-movies\/\"><span>declaring<\/span><\/a><span> that some of her most famous Harry Potter characters are gay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Unfortunately for her, she crossed a forbidden line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>5) Feminist icon Germaine Greer suffered similar treatment for trespassing transgender boundaries, and she did so in the name of the very feminist causes that made her famous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In 2015, more than 3,000 people signed a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/cardiff-university-do-not-host-germaine-greer\"><span>petition<\/span><\/a><span> to cancel her 2015 lecture at Cardiff University. And who was it that didn\u2019t want her speaking there? The radical Left.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Cardiff University Student Union that started the petition claimed that, \u201cGreer has demonstrated time and time again her misogynistic views towards trans women, including continually misgendering trans women and denying the existence of transphobia altogether.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In other words, Greer had the audacity to say that \u201ctrans women\u201d \u2013 meaning, biological males who identify as females \u2013 are not really women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Greer was able to deliver her lecture, despite the protests, but she pulled no punches in criticizing the opposition she faced: \u201cIt strikes me,\u201d she <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/nov\/18\/transgender-activists-protest-germaine-greer-lecture-cardiff-university\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201cas a bit of a put-up job really because I am not even going to talk about the issue that they are on about. What they are saying is that because I don\u2019t think surgery will turn a man into a woman I should not be allowed to speak anywhere.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>6) As a former op-ed writer for the <\/span><i><span>New York Times<\/span><\/i><span>, Bari Weiss is anything but conservative. Rather, as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/maher-panel-blasts-cancel-culture\"><span>described<\/span><\/a><span> by the very liberal (and irreverent) Bill Maher, she is \u201ca hip, millennial, Jewish bisexual girl living in San Francisco.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yet she found the atmosphere at the <\/span><i><span>Times<\/span><\/i><span> to be so intolerant of dissenting views that she ultimately left, penning a scathing letter on her way out the door. She <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bariweiss.com\/resignation-letter\"><span>wrote<\/span><\/a><span> that, \u201cMy own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist.\u201d That is how some of her <\/span><i><span>New York Times<\/span><\/i><span> co-workers spoke about this liberal, bisexual Jew.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For good reason, Weiss referred to this kind of treatment as \u201csocial murder.\u201d (For much more on this, see <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/Silencing-Lambs-Ominous-Culture-Overcome\/dp\/1629999849\"><span>here<\/span><\/a><span>.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>7) In March of 2017, Rebecca Tuvel, an assistant professor of philosophy at Rhodes College in Memphis, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2017\/05\/transracialism-article-controversy.html\"><span>published<\/span><\/a><span> an article in <\/span><i><span>Hypatia<\/span><\/i><span>, a feminist philosophy journal, titled,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/hypa.12327\/full\"><span>\u201cIn Defense of Transracialism.\u201d<\/span><\/a><span> (This would refer to people like Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who identified as black.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tuvel\u2019s argument, as summarized by Jesse Singal in <\/span><i><span>The Intelligencer<\/span><\/i><span> was: \u201c(1) We accept the following premises about trans people and the rights and dignity to which they are entitled; (2) we also accept the following premises about identities and identity change in general; (3) therefore, the common arguments against transracialism fail, and we should accept that there\u2019s little apparent logically coherent reason to deny the possibility of genuine transracialism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For daring to compare \u201ctransracialism\u201d with transgenderism (in reality, an equally imagined category), she was subject to a flood of criticism (Singal calls it a \u201cmassive internet witch-hunt\u201d), despite the fact that \u201cTuvel herself is firmly in support of trans people and trans rights\u201d and she was simply comparing the philosophical arguments behind both trans ideologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Hypatia<\/span><\/i><span>, for its part, apologized for publishing the article, refusing to stand with Tuvel, \u201cdespite the fact that it was approved through its normal editorial process, and Tuvel\u2019s peers are busily wrecking her reputation by sharing all sorts of false claims about the article that don\u2019t bear the scrutiny of even a single close read.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Who will get devoured next?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The silver lining in all this is that, over time, the radical Left will cancel itself. Just give it enough time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a biblical principle that everything reproduces after its own kind.
