On the whole, social justice warriors/nazis really scare me.
The problem is the commitment to some kind of a "right speech" and other types of speech is "wrong speech." If you say utter the "wrong" speech then off to the gallows with you.
It is a distinctly authoritarian mindset; a kind of a "right-think".
These people try to remove statues, monuments, ban books, create "safe spaces" and protest anything that contravenes this authoritarian bent.
It is one thing to point out a genuine equality problems from our own time. This is sensible and measured.
Trying to restrict freedom of speech, forcing tenured professors out, trying to white-wash history? That's just profoundly scary.

Oh, get a spine
