VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: How cultural revolutions die -- or not.

Once a cultural revolution gets going, there can be no contextualization of the past, no allowance for human frailty, no consideration of weighing evil vs. good.

Eventually, the architects of cultural upheavals always make two miscalculations.

One, they presume that destroying things will never apply to themselves, given their loud virtue signaling.

Two, if they are fingered by the mob, they assume they can somehow use their clout and influence to win an exemption.

In other words, once cultural revolutions turn anarchic and eat their own, they lose support.

They're beginning to eat their own, so let's hope for a quick death.
