"There are some actions which are unnecessary to do—until someone tells you that you can’t do them. And then you must do them, if only to retain your right to make your own decisions on the matter. It is not really important, for example, whether you sit at the front or the back of a bus—until someone tells you that you can’t sit at the front. It’s not worth risking your life to eat at a lunch counter or to cross a bridge—until some thug tells you that you can’t cross it. And then you must. These are the kinds of stories the formerly “liberal” left has been trotting out for decades as an example of courage and high principles—but we’re finding out that it’s an example they won’t follow if it involves sticking their own necks out, or criticizing some culture other than the one they were lucky enough to be born into."
