Billy Corgan compares SJWs to KKK, Maoists
Quote:
At one point, the conversation turned toward "social justice warriors" (a term that has been used to insult people who express progressive views). Neither Corgan nor Jones is a fan, to say the least. In the course of the conversation, Corgan compared "this hashtag generation" to a cult, Maoists, and, finally, the Ku Klux Klan. "If you could go back to Selma 1932, and the Klan member spitting in some person of color's face, don't you think that guy thought he was right, too?," he said. "So how is this any different?"
Corgan answered: "Well, there's two schools of thought: One is, they're gone. They're Maoists. They have the Little Red Book in their hand. You're not gonna get them back." Jones interrupted, "It's a cult," before Corgan continued:
It's a cult. And the only thing that's going to adjust their ideological fixation is reality. I predict that this hashtag generation–look, for everyone that's out there spinning their little New Year's toy in your reporter's face–and I've watch those clips and I'm horrified as somebody who believes in free speech and is an artist, because those people are gonna be coming for me. Let's face it. It may not be tomorrow, but it's soon enough because I said the wrong thing on the wrong day because I was tired and I didn't take my X2 that day, or whatever. You know what I mean? It's like, to live like that, to live where every word is a landmine–you know what I'm saying–it's not the world I want to live in.
Let's go back to–and I'm sure you could find this–remember, what was this, around 1978, Skokie, heavily Jewish community north of Chicago. I was there growing up at the time when they let the KKK march down the street, and what was the big issue? It was a free speech issue. We don't like it. They're thumbing in our nose but, you know what, it's better to have an America where these idiots get to walk down the street and spout their hate.
