In general, the activists involved are the nicest, most conscientious people you could hope to know. But at some point, they took a wrong turn, and their devotion to social justice led them down a dark path.

Are they still purported to be the "nicest, most conscientious people you could hope to know" after "they took a wrong turn"?

This particular brand of politics begins with good intentions

Does it? What evidence do we have for that?
