Are YOU a Social Justice Warrior?

The Salvation Army was formed 140 years ago for superior people to spread their message to lost people. They described themselves as 'Christian Warriors' and actually helped people.

Nowadays the 'social justice warriors' sit behind their keyboard and demand the government actually help people.
 
^ The irony. It burns.

In reality a lot of social justice warriors are out there doing the hard work to help bring about social justice.

And better to campaign and advocate for equity and equality for everyone than sitting behind your keyboard just throwing shit at trans people.

:rotflmao: 140 years ago? How the fuck do you fight the same problem for two centuries and ain't fixed it yet?

Ah, so, just another way to pervert a legitimate message? (See: woke, Black Lives Matter, #metoo)

Someone explain to me, like I'm slow, how SJW became a pejorative in the first fucking place? How much of a pretzel do you have to twist your mind into to land on "justice is a bad thing?"

It is a pejorative to those who believe justice and liberty is only for shiny white Christians, as well as those on the left who loudly take up slacktivism solely for the purpose of virtue signaling.

For whatever it's worth, I think of those people as social justice campaigners or maybe activists -- or simply good people.

From the time it appeared, I had only ever seen the three words together -- "social justice warrior" (with "warrior" functioning as the noun in that phrase) -- as a mocking pejorative for people who argued on social media instead of being out there doing the real work. (I mean, who in the 21st century has been using the word "warrior" unironically except the people who write recruitment ads for the military and some Republican politicians?) People out there doing the real work usually didn't have much time to spend scolding others on social media.

And the epithet "social justice warrior" was coined and first used -- in the same way that the phrase "politically correct" was first used, back in the 1980s -- by people on the liberal side to criticize and make fun of what one Village Voice writer described as "the assholes in their [own] ranks." That is to say, others on their -- our -- side whose default mode was aggressive sanctimony and who spent as much time criticizing their allies for insufficient purity as they did criticizing the actual cruelties of the right wing, let alone trying to convince persuadable people not to vote for right-wingers.

Indeed, I think that what motivated some liberals to coin phrases like "politically correct" (echoes there of the ideology forced down people's throats by the Soviets, if anyone else remembers any of that verbiage) and "social justice warrior" is the fear that aggressive sanctimony just alienates persuadable people.

After all, there's a reason the right-wingers leap on and amplify every bit of rhetorical excess progressives commit online: it does alienate people. Almost nobody likes a scold.

So now, in the world social media has led to, almost nothing said online (at least in English) is ever said just within a group; it all gets out there. Especially if it can be weaponized politically. So right-wingers (not clever enough to make up good epithets of their own) pick up phrases like "politically correct" and "social justice warrior," coined by liberals and progressives to criticize the excesses on their own side, and use them to bludgeon all of us with.

It would be interesting to see who DID coin the phrase "politically correct" in the 80s.

I know there's a passage in Isherwood's "Single Man" that allude to it back in the 60s.

:rotflmao: oh no, justice for black people, how terrible! i wish some yt people could taste the irony that every single one of their tangible fears are rooted in not wanting to be treated the way they know black people are treated.

your use of SJW here sees a lot like the aforementioned 'woke' where it's become vague blanket term for anything you don't like or agree with.

That headline appears to suggest that California is seeking to legalize racial discrimination in its state constitution. You have repeated the statement without adding any personal commentary. Do you agree that repealing Proposition 209 is an attempt to legalize discrimination in the state of California?
 
I enjoy the rage that some people seem to feel about Social justice warriors and things like Critical Race theory or sexual equality...it always comes down to feeling like they are the real victims of history and prejudice.

And of course, the irony is totally lost on these keyboard pearl clutchers that the label of social justice warriors easily applies to the troops in both camps...for every so called 'warrior' trying to get justice for others...there is at least one, but usually 10 doing everything they loudly can to make sure it doesn't happen.

And if that means broadcasting sensationalist youtube videos or articles written for people with ADD in order to stoke rage.....well that comes pretty easily too.

And it's frequently lucrative. Goddammit.
 
I can't be an SJW. I'm an old, White, ethnically-indigenous-English, biologically-chromosomal male; thus I am responsible for all the injustices in the world. Even my gay victim points are not sufficient to absolve me of this guilt. :cry:

But, in my favour, I do love puppies! :D
 
"California State Legislature to … pay every black resident 1.2 million"

Can California afford such payments?
 
It is the 4th largest economy in the fucking world.

What do you think?
