Leftist Activists Demand New York Museum Take Down Statue of ‘Racist’ Theodore Roosevelt | Daily Wire:
"Social justice warriors are never satisfied. If you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. After demanding that southern states take down statues of Confederate figures, the activist Left is now targeting an iconic American president featured on Mount Rushmore.

How To Know You’re In a Mass Hysteria Bubble | Scott Adams' Blog
"A mass hysteria happens when the public gets a wrong idea about something that has strong emotional content and it triggers cognitive dissonance that is often supported by confirmation bias.
In other words, people spontaneously hallucinate a whole new (and usually crazy-sounding) reality and believe they see plenty of evidence for it.
The Salem Witch Trials are the best-known example of mass hysteria. The McMartin Pre-School case and the Tulip Bulb hysteria are others. The dotcom bubble probably qualifies.
We might soon learn that the Russian Collusion story was mass hysteria in hindsight.
The curious lack of solid evidence for Russian collusion is a red flag. But we’ll see how that plays out.
The most visible Mass Hysteria of the moment involves the idea that the United States intentionally elected a racist President. If that statement just triggered you, it might mean you are in the Mass Hysteria bubble.
...But if you are not experiencing mass hysteria, you might be totally confused by the actions of the people who are.
They appear to be irrational, but in ways that are hard to define.
You can’t tell if they are stupid, unscrupulous, ignorant, mentally ill, emotionally unstable or what.
It just looks frickin’ crazy.
The reason you can’t easily identify what-the-hell is going on in the country right now is that a powerful mass hysteria is in play.
If you see the signs after I point them out, you’re probably not in the hysteria bubble.
If you read this and do NOT see the signs, it probably means you’re trapped inside the mass hysteria bubble.
Here are some signs of mass hysteria.
This is my own take on it, but I welcome you to fact-check it with experts on mass hysteria.

One woman burst into angry tears because police were seeking to move protesters away from the building.
As police moved the malcontents down the sidewalk, with tears in her eyes, the woman shouted, “Have a f*cking backbone!”
As she was walking away, she turned back and yelled, “You roll your eyes because you’re f*cking weak!” unable to maintain her snowflake composure.
“Because you know you’re wrong. Because you think you’re a man you can roll your eyes at a f*cking young woman. Roll your eyes! Your shield doesn’t f*cking protect you!” she screamed.
Meanwhile, agitators didn’t appreciate this officer’s sarcasm.

"A professor at Portland State University argued in a recent journal article that the higher obesity rate amongst American minorities is a racial injustice.
Rachel Sanders, a political science professor at Portland State University, argues in a recent journal article that the higher obesity rate amongst minorities is a racial injustice because it perpetuates “white superiority.”
As long as America’s basic structure remains racially unjust, discourses that racialize obesity contribute to a racial project of preserving white normativity, derogating black femininity, and rationalizing racial disparities in health, wealth and life chances..."
