Four principles come to mind.

First, If you're going after someone, first dig two graves.

Second, those that live in glass houses should not cast a stone.

Third, if you are stupid, remain silent. Lest you open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Fourth, there is nothing worse than a warrior that doesn't have a war to fight.

Before the proliferation of SJWs and entitled cupcakes, from the very beginning, I immediately disliked SS. She projected a smarmy entitlement. Like she was entitled to have me believe her to be funny. And important within the entertainment content then available.

The SJW Circular Firing Squad is working quite well. Keep it going!

I actually heard her in a radio interview over the weekend. She made some very good points that strike against her political side. I guess it takes being consumed by the beast to understand how dangerous it is to create the beast. She is warning against this kind of PC hanging mob behavior. I think it's too late though.

Can you give us an example of what she said?

Much of it was regret for engaging in mob sanctimony on her part. I can't quote her since I didn't record it, but she remarked how the victims of this 'moral pornography' (her words) were not afforded any due process (in so many words). She complained that those quick to exercise the power and euphoria that comes from condescending moral outrage and condemnation are slow to consider perspective and context. Her point was that in wearing blackface she intended to benefit those whom she mimicked. She meant no harm. She's not a racist. She was frustrated that none of it mattered and that to declare righteous intent was lost in the cacophony of hysterical sanctimony. It was at once juicy to hear but sad that we have arrived at mob rule and political lynchings for doing or saying the wrong thing which standard changes whimsically. Her final statements were a warning to the Left that Frankenstein's monster is out of the pen....(Paraphrased for brevity)

I'd argue the "self-correcting" pendulum of social outcry and hypocrisy swings end when libs who started them inevitably catch too many dems in the "outcry net." In other words, Sarah Silverman is not the intended target of a rampage against blackface, she's collateral damage, and when it comes to that sort of thing, the left tends to reign it in and move on to the next frenzy.

I see. So, it took for the persecution to happen to her personally, in order for her to get in the vicinity of a clue. From obnoxious arbiter of culture, to victim, just like that!

And, "context'? Puh-lease! Those people don't give a shit about context. Blackface = death sentence because they're so Goddamned righteous.

(rubs together thumb and forefinger) Look! The world's smallest violin, and it's playing just for Sarah.

I think the context becomes relevant when "one of their own" gets boned, hard. We'll see if they let her off the hook.

Recently the left started throwing their own under the bus.
Having found eating each other to be fine --
they are now eating themselves. Good show !!

It really has become hysteria. Like crabs in a trap clawing and tearing at each other for advantage. It is almost a feeding frenzy and Ms. Silverman was and likely is still one of the participants.

She's warning against the PC hanging mob now, only since PC bit her in the ass. She forgot the fifth rule. "Too late we get smart".

She is leftist trash, and like the rest of them, a complete hypocrite. If and when she is welcomed back into the fold, she will forget she ever uttered these words. She'll hop right back on her hoppity horse of righteous leftist "better than thou" pedestal and preach to us lesser beings in a heartbeat.

Who will be next to be sacrificed at the alter of the Church of Social Justice?

IE damage control, if these "atrocities against society on her behalf" didn't come out she would be singing the same tune, with the same hate and disdain, she hasn't changed or become some political savant advising the left, she's simply doubled down her Machiavellianism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”

I'm familiar with the quote but I was unaware that it came from Emerson. Gosh, that doesn't really sound like Emerson, does it? More like Machiavelli.

From which of his essays does this come?

**edit**

Oh, I see. This quote is attributed to Emerson in his biography, written by Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Reap what ya sow, skank.
