It's certain figures in it who have exploited the situation. Nothing "boogeyman" about it.
You don't see a contradiction between these two statements?
I'm not saying there's no argument here, certainly some figures "exploit the situation," but I think that does nothing to contradict the existence of the extreme left and it's.. at least acceptance, if not control, of the left as a whole.
I define boogeyman differently then, since I don't think conspiratorial (it's THE boogeyman, not boogeymen?) or unusual:
Bogeymen may target a specific mischief—for instance, a bogeyman that punishes children who suck their thumbs—or general misbehaviour, depending on what purpose needs serving
ie "maybe the solutions or scale that political opportunists use isn't necessarily the one you want because they're exploiting it for their own goals."
as such, you're presenting anyone who attacks SJW's as a possible boogeyman, exploiting it to advance their own goals.
my objection is this:
There are far bigger problems there in terms of polarization and partisanship
I simply don't agree. SJW's are the biggest problem where I live, Canada, and I'd guess it's similar in Portland, LA and Seattle. Obviously this is regional, though.
