The rise of "coercive liberalism" ----> https://spectator.us/rise-coercive-progressivism/
I call it militant liberalism or neo-marxism.

They demand total compliance with their moral code. They are in the business of forced conversion.
The religious character of coercive progressivism is central to understanding its relentless, missionary vigor. Antonia Senior has observed how identity politics functions as ‘Christianity without redemption’, and the faith espoused by the coercive progressives is just such a creed, as its response to George Floyd’s killing demonstrates. There are rituals, hymns and almsgiving. In place of justice, there is martyrdom; baptisms are now conducted at the site of Floyd’s death. There is original sin in the form of ‘white privilege’ and heritable guilt. Iniquities are confessed and, by way of penance, apologies given for the actions of others and patronizing genuflections made to shine the shoes of black people. Heretics are shunned or browbeaten into repenting and even the insufficiently pious are damned. Graven images are smashed by the faithful and the theology is suitably confusing, with some activists demanding white people speak up and others that they shut up. But where Christianity offers salvation, sin is eternal in this religion and the hope of deliverance absent. There is only the cross, no resurrection.
It is not always easy to separate a bad cause from the good examples it seizes upon. That many feel distress, disgust and anger at this moment is to be expected. The killing of George Floyd and the broader questions of racial injustice must be confronted and remedied. Liberalism offers just such remedies in the form of courts, elections, debate and policy changes. The pace of justice can be achingly slow, and the destination sometimes never reached, but in the reaching for it there is the hope for progress. True progress is organic; it is a negotiation, not an imposition. It cannot be achieved by rioting, censoring, bullying or destroying.
It is definitely a new religion, one without a name yet.
killing of George Floyd and the broader questions of racial injustice must be confrontedAgree that this has much in common with coercion to convert to a given religion. But please keep in mind that one of the fired and charged officers involved in the Floyd killing was black. According to his mother, he became a cop to make a difference in the treatment of blacks by the police. If the killing of Floyd was a racist act, would this fellow have stood by and done nothing? There remains the possibility that racism had nothing to do with Floyd's death. Just a cop being overly aggressive with a wastoid thug who had no respect for his own life.
Yep
Don't Realtor Lives Matter? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
