The SJWs can use their own names, but the anti-SJWs dare not. Does Alexander mention this?

So we had a large discussion on facebook about this post. Started with this observation by me:

This raises an interesting question that Scott does not explore — convergent evolution occurs when organisms face similar evolutionary pressures in their environment. You can infer a lot about an organism’s environmental niche by looking at the traits it shares with unrelated organisms with similar phenotypic traits.

So what features of today’s media/cultural environment are selecting for this kind of narrative? What makes such a narrative more ‘fit’ now than in the past?

Alexander completely ignores the fact that the SJWs want to silence the non-SJWs (perhaps I should say, silence the normal people) whereas the normal people just want to be left alone and not forced to profess the SJW creed. But of course Oranias are unacceptable, even those of the mind.

That whole post made me want to roll my eyes until they popped out of my head.

“Hey, it looks like a war is going on, and both sides are shooting bullets at each other, imprisoning enemy soldiers, and bombing enemy supply lines! What a FEARFUL SYMMETRY!”

Yes, when producers battle parasites, suffering results. That doesn’t mean producers and parasites are interchangeable.
