When your attitude caused everybody to want to set fire to the neighbour to spite you and drove every person whou could've helped to despise you maybe it's time to look inwards and stop being a cunt.
You'd be surprised at how you eventually stop giving a shit when people drown out your concerns and ideas with rhetoric. It's why I went from a Republican to a deranged anarchist. The system doesn't give a shit so fuck it.
It helped the gays and transgendered folk. It's also gotten this Muslim travel ban thing smashed. It's also brought attention to the economic disparities in the country. Mostly, I hope even if we can't do anything better we can ruin the lives of the current Rep/Dem apparatus.
The travel ban got repelled by people and government working togethe and protests, not by being a cunt to people who don't even disagree with you. Actual political activism not keyboard warrioring at people.
Basically, I see the charges against social justice warriors being a code word by people who want to dismiss actual activism. There's some assholes on the internet but it's part of a much larger movement. Their anger is legitimate and the cause growing because of it.
Basically, i don't really trust anyone who isn't a social justice warrior. If you're not angry about the state of America and fueled with a desire to see that changed then I don't understand you. What started as an insult I now see as a badge of honor.
For "sjws" the cause and the anger are an artifact, too many people with legitimate morals get twisted by the tribalistic nature of first world slacktivists, most of the louder voices in the movement are egocentric cunts with messiah complexes. The fact that you can unironically say you don't trust anyone who isn't one is pretty disturbing.
You are basically admiting that with a slight course correction you would be calling people cucks and liberal scum. Both sides enclose thmselves in bubbles and allow toxic tribalism to fester and chew at the concept of actual political dialogue.
I'm basically of the view Social Justice Warriors doesn't mean what their detractors mean as it's a label thrown at anyone with dissenting views. It's a word that has basially been devalued of all meaning like troll.
Basically, I subscribe to Social Justice and I've been called one and since I don't consider it a bad thing to fiight for it, why wouldn't I? I don't think what I consider one is what you do, though. Do you?
