Eh… the CSJW list is actually spot on.
The origin of the term SJW appears to have been from the KKK… as a blanket term for people who did not agree with the stuff they acted upon. With the least stupid part being how their wear their finest white clothing to a bonfire (that is NOT how you make your whites stay white… that makes them go blackish, brown or grey… kind of shooting yourself in the foot there). We all know it goes worse than that — but the KKK are fractally stupid. So… nearly everybody is going to end up an SJW based upon that original definition (even other KKK members! Hooray for stupidity!)
The issue with the concept of the SJW is... it is a mental poison from what I’ve found.
The goal is not valour, glory and what not. The goal is “hey… wouldn’t it be nice if we were not huge assholes to each other for a change.” A statement, that will get you shot, hung or nailed to a dead tree due to how much society does not like it.
The mentality behind the terms “Warrior of X” does not really indicate that you care about X… you just use X as the cause of being a Warrior. This isn’t me talking word play… this is me analysising how the human brain handles its stupid bullshit (because the brain is fucking stupid all the fuck over… seriously). This might seem like semantics… but this is what I’ve observed.
The goal is a simple one of, “things would be so much nicer if we just stopped being so damned mean to each other.”
Much like when Hercules kept striking one of Eris’ apples of strife, and it only made the apple get bigger… the very concept of a Warrior for Social Justice does not strike me as an indication of somebody who understands the problem they are fighting.
The way I’ve tackled it is simple: SJWs are not real. They are like the wolfman. When people call somebody an SJW, they are pretty much accusing them of being a wolfman. If somebody declares themselves as an SJW, they are claiming to be a wolfman.
Now, I’ve known many otherkin, furries and what not. Yes, sometimes there bullshit gets a bit much for me. But I’ve known people who declare themselves as the wolfman, and am able to be chill with them… to an extent…
But… at the end of the day… it is just people committing the horrible crime of declaring things would be better if we just stopped being mean to each other. As the harden criminals we all are.
Stop talking about how it is “being an SJW” — as that means you are in it for the glory of upholding a value, rather than the value itself.
Start talking about how you are a harden criminal whose crime is suggesting we should stop being mean to each other. A crime punishable by nailing to a dead tree or being shot in a motel room.
This comment is largely me talking about how you painted the bike shed the wrong colour (and you should be ashamed! How could you mess up the bike shed in such a terrible way…wrong coloured bike shed… seriously)
