Most of the time when someone says: "you can't make this stuff up". It means it's really wild but likely an exaggeration. With some of these leftists one really can't go too far, that is, one's imagination does not go far enough. Yet they are not kidding when they say it, they believe it fully.
We all know the danger of this process. The left keeps pushing the envelope of crazy outrageous $h!t so that the previous level of crazy becomes a little more mainstream acceptable. I grew up and went to school in Berkeley, CA and I remember the stuff these leftists were doing and saying back in the 80's. What was fringe then is accepted mainstream now. It is leftist dogma, the ideals they professed then they didn't really mean. Free speech? Sure, as long as one agrees with accepted leftist dogma. Back then if one voiced an opposing opinion they would just shout you down. Now, they use violence up to and including murder because your ideas are that dangerous....

Yup, the ever-shifting (only one way of course) Overton Window. I believe I've previously pointed out that the difference between a radical Commie and a "reliable Republican" is about 80 years in time... GWB 2000 was basically a clone of JFK 1960, and Obama 2008 was basically running the 1968 CPUSA platform.

Parties have swapped platforms so often over 200 years it's crazy. Kennedy would be castigated today for being too conservative, Eisenhower, too liberal. Teddy Roosevelt? Mr. Huge Government-big-on-taxes-price-caps-and-"fair"-wages?

Yes, remember Nixon's wage and price freeze ?

The San Francisco School Names Advisory Committee has identified 44 public schools in the city that have inappropriate names, including a school that was named after California Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) back in the 2000s.
So how did Feinstein, the former mayor of San Francisco and the longest-serving woman currently in the U.S. Senate, end up on the list? Well, according to the San Francisco Chronicle: “The school made the list because, as mayor in 1986, Feinstein reportedly replaced a vandalized Confederate flag, one of several historic flags flying in front of City Hall at the time.”
Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.

Agreed ! They are playing the eat me last game. What they don't yet realize is that if one isn't out dressing how they dress, saying what they say and doing what they do... You aren't one of them and you are part of the problem. The extremists may come for you last but they will come for you...

It's always been my experience that those who try to be the most non-conformist and inclusive always end up the the most exclusionary conformists.

Nail on the f'in head! "Non-conformists" are so concerned with making an active effort to avoid mainstream thought and activity that they end up becoming a homogeneous subculture with strict rules members must follow lest they be considered "sellouts". It's like the hipster "obscurity rules": If anybody outside of my social circle has heard of the band, movie, craft beer, coffee, or book, it's garbage and liking it is literally a character flaw. Hipsters are not allowed to like anything their subculture says is too mainstream.
The fact is, if you need rules on how to not conform, than you're not "not conforming".
