Nah. Progressive extremism comes and goes. Before Bush there was Weather Underground and the Symbionese Liberation Front, progressive groups that ran around with assault rifles, literally and actually terrorist-bombing people and kidnapping heiresses. SJWs are pretty stupid but nothing compared to those guys. Before that you've got your radical red armies, anarchist-bomb throwers, the abolitionist jayhawkers who would break into homes to torture and skin alive slaveowners and their children.
A major difference is these people were doing (sometimes) effective things about things that actually mattered, especially when you go back as far as opposing slavery with violence. The Symbionese Liberation Army were basically flat-out terrorists, while the Weather Underground (basically a radical splinter of Students for a Democratic Society) was somewhat more layered.
Meanwhile, tumblrinas are idiots doing absolutely ineffectual shit about stuff that completely doesn't matter, like sperging 24/7 that someone didn't psychically know to call them by a pronoun they invented last Thursday.
This ain't the Stonewall riots.
