The problem of SJWs

Post Reply New Topic

Why, the surge in leftist hate crimes directed at Trump supporters, of course!

There has been a surge in anti-Semitic incidents since the election of Trump.

I can't say for sure that the election of Trump caused this----but this is occurring.

Are SJWs anti-Semitic?

Not by definition---but you never know.

That's what's being reported, at least, and the left-leaning media is very happy to blame it on Trump. There is always some anti-Semitism in society, but I haven't tried to find any reliable statistics that show whether there is a factual increase recently or not. (There certainly appears to be in Europe, correlated with the Islamic "invasion.")

On the other hand, two supposed incidents of anti-Semitism that got a lot of attention recently were:

(1) Supposed cemetery vandalism that police say was actually just neglect:

(2) Bomb threats to several Jewish Centers, widely reported with insinuations that Trump's "climate of hate" was responsible, are now known to have been perpetrated by a far-left reporter/activist who was possibly trying to frame his ex-girlfriend:

Some other cemetery incidents may be genuine anti-Semitism. On the other hand, if you follow cemetery news (which I actually do), cemetery vandalism is a routine crime all over the country and always has been. Knocking over headstones is something that teenage delinquents do, unfortunately.

Correlation does not imply causation. 

If an individual chooses to commit a crime it was the individuals choice.

SJWs do not believe in individual choice, either for themselves or for their enemies.

Ask an SJW why men are misogynist and they'll say it's because society made them, not because they chose to be misogynist. 

Ask an SJW why fewer women join STEM and they'll say it's because society dissuaded women from joining, not because they chose to enter other fields.

Saying society made me do it is the SJW Equivalent of saying the devil made me do it.

Trust me: I don't follow the line of reasoning many SJW's follow.

Feminism used to be a force for good. So to was the civil rights movement.

It's a shame that SJWs Have ruined both feminism and the civil rights movement.

Anyone heard about that Red Pill movie? I haven't seen it, but have heard it is worth watching.

Here's a perfect example of SJWs-RUIN-EVERYTHING:

UC Berkeley, one of the world's top universities, had 20,000 hours of recorded lectures that it posted online, free to the public and anyone around the world. What a great thing! Even 20 years ago, no one could imagine that a person in India (say) would be able to listen to free lectures from famous scholars and scientists at a place like Berkeley.

Not so fast! Some SJW-minded people have sued Berkeley because the 20,000 hours of free educational resources are not all closed-captioned for deaf people.

Berkeley doesn't have the money to close-caption 20,000 hours of recordings, so to avoid the lawsuit ... they've had to take all the free educational material off line. No more free Berkeley lectures for you, poor student in South Africa, or India, or Mississippi.

Concerning females in STEM, it's true that females don't have as much of an interest in STEM fields as males....in the United States. This doesn't hold for the middle east and India, where most little girls will tell you they want to be an engineer or a doctor when they grow up. So there is likely social cultural components to what fields a person chooses to go into. Is there anything in American culture that disuades females from choosing STEM fields? That I couldn't say for certain as if there are, it was never anything I paid attention to, however that aside, STEM fields have a poor female retention rate. That is, about 40% of women who go into certain STEM fields, leave mid career. The reason many cite come down to lack of advancement opportunities....women seem to stall on the corporate ladder in middle management for some reason, and a male dominated culture that, while may not be overtly sexist to them, they feel is not entirely inclusive, and they grow tired of being the odd one out.

Of course the solution would be to stay, and be part of the change, I suppose.

Conversely, gender studies and subjects concerning social issues tend to have a deficit of males. That's unfortunate because such subjects apply to males as much as females.

How typical of SJWs to put their own middle-class first world problems above people living in the third world.

But being a male nursing student is more fun than being a male gender-studies student

Gender studies or any other type of '-studies' shouldn't even exist, subsidized Marxism and our government should not be providing loans which trap these people in debt for the rest of their lives for a useless degree. The problem is that there are simply too many people in college, more than half probably shouldn't be there and would be better off learning a trade of some sort.

That almost makes me not regret not going to college.

If you have a decent enough job already and aren't some social butterfly then there is zero reason to regret it, it's all a huge money making scheme. Think about the tuition charged and the graduation rates, then think about the fact that a lot of these degrees don't lead to any job in particular, don't even get started on the books. As a kid when they asked me what I wanted to do I would answer a paleontologist, archaeologist, or herpetologist but it turns out those aren't real jobs and probably even less realistic than when I wanted to be a pro-wrestler. I never lived in the world of you can do anything tho, that's not how I was raised or is reflective of the reality of the environment I grew up in.
