To "connect the dots" is to draw conclusions – previously unmade conclusions – from available data. There are times, however, when connecting the dots produces a disturbing conclusion. This alarm is nothing short of a clarion call for change. It is the dead canary in the mine shaft. It is the collision alarm at the helm.
Such an alarm was sounded in the furor over the University of Missouri this week when student protesters succeeded in forcing out both the university's chancellor and its president. Their crimes were vaguely defined as "racism," a crime neither adequately defined nor substantially proven. Cries of "racism!" have, in fact, become the new "witchcraft!" in the enclaves where "social justice whiners," or SJWs, are strongest. Where SJW fascists hold sway, literally every act is offensive, and every thought is a crime (or potentially so).
All that is required for you to become a thought-criminal is for you to utter some word or take some action to which an SJW takes offense. Those offenses occur on a shifting scale. It is not possible to appease SJWs. They are "crybullies," weaklings who individually have no power and no ability to cope, but who become violent mobs when they gather together. As mobs, they seek to assert their psychological derangement, their political weakness and their hatred of all whites and all males on society at large. They were, until recently, small in number. With the advent of the Internet, they have become a real threat to the American way of life, to the ideals of freedom and liberty on which the Constitution is built.

The social justice agitators, fresh from successfully ousting their school's leadership over the alleged, unproven and false claim of "racism," have vowed that this is just the beginning. It seems a single black student heard a single epithet shouted at someone, by someone, under circumstances that can neither be proven nor specified. This was, in and of itself, enough to push the president and chancellor from their posts. This happens because the outrage voiced and amplified online becomes too great for its victims to bear.
To some, these SJW monsters are the creatures of the left's own creation. Many have said that the liberal denizens of our nation's ivory towers deserve what they get. They fed these monsters a steady diet of participation trophies, speech codes and yes-means-yes sexual assent contracts; how do they now object when their twisted children begin eating them? But as the universities fall, so do other American institutions. The monsters have the Internet, and it is the Internet that lets them propagate their hate and their fascism.

Do you need proof? Look no further than the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter. This Twitter search tag is the central point of organization for the current anti-police movement. With typical lib logic, the left asserts that all police are racists murderers who cannot be trusted (while they push for laws that would take guns away from everyone but the very racist, murdering police the leftists condemn). This anti-police climate has spilled over onto the nation's college campuses as both cause and effect. It is part of, and partly a product of, the widespread assertion by blacks and self-hating white liberals that America is a horrible, racist place where minorities are routinely and blithely mistreated. Popular culture has fallen to this trope, to this falsehood, to this assumption. Now, simply being white is enough to be branded a racist and pushed from polite society, as the University of Missouri's administration has just discovered.
Two things happened in the midst of all this heat and light at MU. One is that an angry mob of SJW fascists attacked reporters and pushed them out of a "safe space" at the University of Missouri – because the libs absolutely hate freedom of speech. They've been at the forefront of every effort to control speech and therefore thought on campus, the most egregious example being their speech codes. They've taken their hate and their fascism to the Internet, where all conservative and libertarian thought is met with howls of politically correct derision and accusations of misogyny, racism and hate.

More disturbing was the response by the campus police at Mizzou, who are now attempting to control, by force of law, the very freedom of speech MU students no longer have. In an email to students earlier this week, the Missouri University Police Department asked that students who "witness incidents of hateful and/or hurtful speech or actions" immediately report this to the police with a detailed description of the individuals involved (including their license plates, if applicable). Students were also urged to take cell phone pictures of the offenders. The notice specifically cites posting this information to social media – the SJW fascists' go-to move when offended – as an impediment to the swift punishment of those involved. "While cases of hateful and hurtful speech are not crimes, if the individual(s) identified are students, MU's Office of Student Conduct can take disciplinary action," the email concludes (emphasis added).
In other words, all that it takes to root out all white people from positions of authority, to condemn all white people on fabricated charges of racism and to further the notion that all whites are hateful, racist creatures who enjoy disproportionate "privilege" in society is a mob of SJWs. The way SJWs coordinate is through the Internet – and IDG News Service now predicts there will be up to 30 percent more Internet-connected devices in 2016 (raising the total to 6.4 billion Internet connections).
That's it. That's the connection. Those are the dots to be connected. Those are the dominoes waiting to fall. The Internet will only become more pervasive. Our connection to it, our dependence on it, will only become greater. We must never accept these false charges. If we cede this intellectual ground to the social justice whiners, if we let them accuse us of "raaaaacism!" the way hysterical puritans used to find "witches" under every rock and behind every tree, they will quickly tire of eating their own.
They will move on to devour us – and we will have let them do it.
