What does doxing NYT journalists do?

Threatening people's family is a thing of the radical left. The ugly truth is that he simply is not in a position to retaliate in the same manner. That is the benefit of having psychos at your beck and call, I suppose. America has become a country with a modern version of the caste system: there is not just left or right, but there are different layers in a hierarchy. Some among those hierarchies now have special rights and powers, such as not being held accountable to the full extent of the law, while others are hit harder. Look at it like magic resistance in an RPG. Some people in America now have certain innate "law resistance", like the equivalent of a cloak of magic, through their base class, kind of like rolling an elf to get better spell casting ability, or rolling an orc to gain extra HP or something. It is a bit like India's caste system now. There are the ones of perpetual victimhood and those who work with the grain of the current cultural narrative. Those who work against the grain get a penalty and harsher treatment by courts.

Example:

"CAVED IN Dad left paralysed with half a skull and ‘sunken’ brain after brutal attack by thug who gets just two months in jail"

^ That was a misdemeanor. If your borderline ex accuses you of domestic violence or some more popular crime and you are white, prepare to go away for a long time. If you are a conservative and defend yourself, be prepared to go away for a long time. If you are on the right and in any way aggressive towards people of the protected castes, prepare to go away for a long time.

You live in a country in which you no longer have equal protection before the law. It's all still there on paper, sure, but only a few have the money to be able to hold people accountable to what it says on that paper, and most of it is only paid lip service to. These are times of decline and injustice. The long and short of it is that those people can physically harass and threaten him. They are likely to get away with it or with minimal punishment. If he doxes those lefty journalists, what is going to happen? Are right wing YouTubers going to drive by their apartments and shout obscenities at them? If they show even an inkling of aggression towards those journos, the entire establishment is going to go berserk. The police will arrest them in a matter of minutes, the media will paint them as terrorists, incels, racists, the worst human beings, and the judge will throw the book at them. That is what is going to happen.

Go ahead. Dox those idiots at the NYT. They probably even have the resources to move within days if they even feel slight discomfort from some mean comment on the street. Nobody on the anti-establishment side is going to do jack shit. None of you are doing to do fuck all. Nothing is going to happen. Nada. When has doxing left wingers ever done anything? Only in the deranged minds of the Gamer Gate faux victims like Brianna Wu or Zoe Quinn have lefty assholes ever been unsafe in this country, despite constant claims of victimhood. The worst they experience is Twitter PTSD. The worst that can happen to them is some of their overweight ham beasts dying of a heart attack because they sufficiently intimidated the driver of a car who tries to get away from the mob that they themselves formed around him. This is how those people won long ago. The culture war was already over when they owned the institutions. A Republican or anti-establishment president (if Trump even is one) for two terms is not going change jack about that, either. This is the decline, it is final, and there is no getting off this ride. The only way this ever turns around is when things get so bad that the country falls over. Before then, people are too comfortable. They will sit on their fat asses or do inconsequential BS on social media. What you should be doing is take your institutions back, get a law degree perhaps, work your ass off. But most of the anti-establishment people can only give smart talks, like Thomas Sowell -- they cannot be bothered to actually hold office ever (but at least he gave some smart talks in front of congress a few decades ago, I suppose). It's as if the people most capable of turning this ship around cannot be bothered to seek out positions of influence because politics and such is beneath them, so they sit in their dusty libraries and talk wisely about how Marxists are wrong, how genetic differences are real, how those silly people calling the shots just do not understand economics or statistics or science -- but change jack shit. It is as if those people prefer inhabiting ivory towers but do not want to get their hands dirty, so instead the inmates are running the asylum, in the media, in politics, in education, and now online. Those people running the show do not care all that much about being right or consistent, they care about running the show.

We are no longer in a position to fight back on an equal footing because we now have a country with a caste system. The left are the Brahman, you are the untouchables. Enjoy cleaning sewers.

Man, that is a black pill but I can't refute you.

What is the way forward then? Other than making ourselves anti-fragile on an individual level, of course. We have to either find a way to help people when they are doxxed, or have at our disposal a proportionate response when they maliciously try to destroy our lives.

Solution? Not so tough, actually. There is nothing the left is doing that anyone else couldn't do. That's the good part. But, sure, it's easier to do that without having a demanding job to be at, with rich parents or some trust fund.
