So... what's the end game here?

The people who are supposedly responsible, in the view of these "social justice" people, aren't allowed to help. They should "stay in their lane"? In other words just mind your own business? So... do these people actually want solutions? Or do they just want to ensure there's enough things to drum up outrage about to keep the ad revenue on their blogs and online tabloid rags up?

Edit: Sorry also kind of responding to the article Dawkins was referencing, in addition to the tweets. Here's an internetarchive link instead.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

Jokes aside, there's a big problem with people creating a group identifier as belonging to an oppressed minority, and will do everything to stay with the in-group.

When you spot people saying stupid things on twitter, please use:

archive.is or web.archive.org

It takes literally seconds to create a persistent, unmodifiable, true copy on either of these archive pages; because inevitably the tweets get deleted.

Please don't use screecaps, because those are hilariously easy to manipulate with photoshop.
