The problem of SJWs

Post Reply New Topic

As much as I dislike SJWs I also dislike anti-SJWs who imply all Muslims are terrorists.

That would be like saying all Catholics are terrorists becuase the IRA were Catholic.

I can't stand it when these anti-SJWs think we need different laws to deal with Muslims when under the commonlaw, terrorism and killing people are already illegal.

These anti-SJWs are ignoring the majority of Muslim immigrants who comply with the law of the land.

Immagine if a million westerners immigranted to China and then one of them murdered a guy. Would it be fair to characterise the whole group as murderers? Or would there be a small percentage of criminals in any large group?

Even those rape attacks that happened in Cologne were not part of mainstream Muslim culture, they stemmed from a small fratboy subculture. This subculture made up a very small portion of the overall Muslim culture. Anti-SJWs love bringing the Cologne attacks over and over again but they always make it sound like Islam as a whole condones rape gangs (hint, it doesn't).

A lot of the time the anti-SJW fear mongering is just as bad as the SJW fear mongering. Both groups love to spout hysterical hyperbole.

Anyway, my point regarding SJWs and anti-SJWs is the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.

The Simpsons features SJWs at Yale:

Pffff, ha ha ha!

Nice to see something mainstream go against the SJWs instead of with them.

as a radical leftist i denounce sjw's.

You know how there's that hashtag thing first world problems; I wonder if any fun could be had with a hashtag SJW problems - which could go both ways, serious and parody.
Even though I don't have texting I still have the idea.

I've thought about trying to make a game of SJWish stuff before. Things like a thread where the next poster has to see a microaggression in the post above or otherwise deconstruct it to twist it into something that an SJW can shout sexist, racist, evil, etc. at. But I've never actually dared try it because I think there's the very real possibility I could end up being sickened rather than amused by it. Not because anyone did anything wrong but how perverse the mindset is and how easy it is to twist stuff and villify people.

This is called the "heckler's veto" -- if I don't want someone to speak, I just threaten violence if they do. The university caves in to the threat of violence, and I have succeeded in shutting down someone's rights.

America 2017: Berkeley cancels Ann Coulter speech because it can’t guarantee her safety

After the Charles Murray fiasco at Middlebury, I wrote that “We’re getting closer to the inevitable moment when someone is literally murdered on an American campus because a right-winger tried to speak.”

Berkeley’s administrators agree. In canceling Coulter’s speech next week, they made no bones about the fact that there are now so many fascist “anti-fascist” animals running around campus that Coulter herself or someone in the audience literally might not leave it alive. And after what happened when Milo Yiannopoulos tried to speak in February, that’s a perfectly reasonable fear. You call the local police in Berkeley if you want to arrange “symbolic arrests” at the sit-in you’re organizing for your pet cause, not to stop rampaging leftists bent on smashing store windows and skulls because a thoughtcriminal has arrived in town.

Sometimes you can see people playing a quote mining game in a Sargon of Akkad Youtube video's comments. They'll pluck out some line Sargon said that looks bad all by itself with no context, it will look something like "Quote" - Sargon of Akkad, 2016. And it will get lots of upvotes from amused people.

Facebook post by Robert Reich

SJW's and their perception by the public has largely tainted the democratic party as of late and was definitely influential in the last presidential election. I think the SJW mindset stems both from a need for attention, and a need to feel oppressed or victimized, perhaps because they feel upset and need something to blame their woes and alienation on.

I myself identify as a sort of democratic socialist (which as I'm sure you know is pretty dang far left on the spectrum) and I myself criticize the actions of this new PC, SJW, and anti free-speech culture just as much as conservatives. So I think there is a communication issue going on where republicans think that democrats all share these values, while I can assure you that is not the case.

Actually, both video's should have content warnings.



The problem with SJW's is where are we going with this.

No matter what you think of Luther, consider his approach, by comparison. At one point, the Founders had civilized discussion, with the British officials. They made arguments, about nature's god, and objective morality. Is there an objective, here.
