South Park did a story arc on Social Justice Warriors. They're a holes to the nth degree.

In a world of bad people, they are the worst people in the world.

I don't blame you for deflecting....it really IS indefensible.
I asked a simple question, and you didn't answer it. If you can't point out any of these "enforcers," then maybe the premise of your thread is off-base?

But like the Muslims that have overrun Europe in recent years; where would they go? What country wants our leftist troublemakers?
We should punish people for exercising their first amendment rights? How American that would be!

Subversives? This is truly amazing talk coming from an American.

Political correctness prohibits taking the cheap shots.
OH PLEASE! PC denies people from having thoughts that differ from the PC herd! THAT is an insult!

It's foolish to believe doing such a thing would make anything better. We'd not be a free society, such that it is, anymore.

I'm sure they'd make a good fit in northern Europe (Sweden, Denmark, Norway...etc), the countries they continually praise for how socialism works so well... but then they'd find out it isn't the candy land nirvana they believed it to be.

There should be no exiling of anyone for their beliefs... but perhaps a mandatory 6 months living in a Scandinavian country for democratic socialists (progressives) would be a good idea.

We can give them a choice: exile (meaning leave, go away, we don't care where) or quarantine (the US has several islands and territories that could be used for this).
Hey, there's an even worse choice, but I don't want to go to extremes.

Actually he did because no answer he would have given would have sufficed. You can't reason with unreasonable people who have tunnel vision.

...and the pendulum swings in the extreme opposite direction.

Exile, leave, go away.... is not a choice you'd want for your beliefs. Geez!

Actually, we are in the bizarro world now where any one who wants to speak their minds (or sometimes even just THINK of speaking their mind) has become a "subversive", to be destroyed by the PC police.
These agents of repression must be destroyed.

Actually, you are being far too fair and generous when you refer to them as the "herd". They are tiny minority, who have been allowed to grab the central role (and then consolidate their power).

Subversives like who those who advocate women's rights, civil rights, gun rights, abortion rights, right to life, unions, police justice, no justice at all, who and who gets to decide, you?
