Why does the right want safe spaces?
In 2023 Scott Adams of Dilbert and MAGA politician Marjorie Taylor Greene started whining
about having their own safe space for cult-like reasons. In Scott Adams case he was doing this
for racist reasons. Likewise Marjorie Taylor Greene ranted about safe spaces for a "National
Divorce Deal". However in practice that cannot happen because it's rife with segregationist
policies and resource allocation issues
The origins of "Safe Spaces"
The concept of safe spaces have their origins in the 2010's initially to protect certain historically
discriminated groups from retaliation like LGBT, Non-White, Non-Evangelical, Women, the
mentally disabled and others. This was to shield them during a tragic situation like bullying and
abuse. Another factor in all of this was to protect immunocompromised people from food
allergies and ones not vaccinated for non medical reasons.
This was brought up during the vaccine mandates of 2015-2016 timeframe when the State of
California passed SB277 and SB276 to stop non-medical exemptions to vaccines to prevent a
pandemic from taking place. Note at the time of the debate COVID-19 was not known at the
time but Measles was feared to be a candidate for a pandemic at the time due to the panic
about mercury in vaccines. The turning point when "Safe Spaces" changed it's meanings from protecting people from
retaliation and health to not agreeing with the cult leader took place during the 2020 elections
when voters compared Trump to Jim Jones during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was when
Hydroxychloroquine, disinfectants, Oleandrin and Ivermectin were hyped up by certain
politicians until discreditied by the FDA. In those examples voters suspected there was a
Kool-Aid type situation and that are mentally compromised are being exploited by the politicians.
The consequences are disastrous because it requires blind loyalty to the leader and never
question the motives. This is how we ended up with the current meaning for safe spaces. In this
example it means bowing down to Trump and Putin.
Scott Adams of Dilbert fame started out as an artist that did parodies of Silicon Valley culture in
the Dilbert comic strip from the 1990s to 2023. However in a 2023 rant he went on a tirade
about race and he cited a questionable political poll. In response the rant was about safe
spaces but in terms of very segregationist rantings about Black Americans. Major Newspaper
chains in response boycotted Adams for his rants and his syndication service cut ties with him
as a result. It was rife with stories where the Newspapers brought up stats of his home state of
California, racial diversity and income averages of Scott Adams neighborhood on why he ranted
about a Safe Space where there are no blacks in his neighborhood. Note San Jose Mercury
news mentioned that Pleasanton census stats as of 2020 given that Adams was living at the
time prior to Dilbert became boycotted. However, the stuff Adams proposed did happen over
centuries of structural racism in the United States so Adams could get his safe space. In
contrast the State of California is in the process of debating reparations for Structural Racism in
the state due to past decisions if this happened this could be the first state to really solve the issue of that. Then it won't go the way Scott Adams wants it to be even if he leaves California at
some point the rest of the United States will consider looking at California as a model to resolve
structural racism. Likewise Marjorie Taylor Greene proposed the same stuff but with the proposed idea In
Congress to have a "National Divorce". In this example it's rife with Putin Propaganda in the
context of the War in Ukraine. Her examples open up speculation on how president Vladimir
Putin of Russia would take over the United States given the Republican Party's connections to
Putin. Once more details came along it became rife with debates over how water rights, money,
social Services and defense would be allocated if the country really split up. Greene's rants
about a Safe Space became rife with speculation that a right wing utopia would be like
Jonestown, Guyana for Trump supporters. Also the fallout would resemble Jonestown but with
more victims in this utopia. That means all loyalty goes to the cult leader and they would have to
violate the conventional law to achieve their utopia in the process. That requires attacking
former supporters, whistleblowers, and the non-members with retaliation and death similar to
how former congressman Leo J Ryan died while rescuing victims from Jonestown in 1978. In
other words what MTG is saying about a safe space in a national divorce is rife with history on
how cults operated in the past. All in all, whenever the right says they want a safe space, watch
out and look at how cults of the past did. Also live with reality through the most manageable
means that are practical today. Utopia never works in real life.
