[@rattler3907]

When the new right wing will rise and when intelligent people will stop staying aside and letting those soyboys get control of the political power. If they get control, we are doomed at censorship, racism, sexism, idiocracy, equality of outcome, which will bring us to poverty. Until a coup, revolution or a major event happens. One thing is certain and I will say it bluntly: 1) freedom can be kept only with violence against those who try to disrupt it; 2) Dictatorship was always established by vote, then law, then kept with violence that was protected by law.

[@gutz1981]

If we ever have another World War that is when. Then watch all these SJW transgenders transition back into being women who need real men who are not left wing liberals to go and fight and unfortunetly die so in a few more years after that, those same "We don't need a man, I Identify and Gender Fluid, I think everybody wants to love us and want peace." You watch all these scum hide behind the troops and then 5 years down the track, spit and attack these soldiers once the fighting is over and call them killers. Happend before its will happen again.

The phenomena is not exclusive to the "left". If you are casting stones from the "right", well, you have shitty aim. Your team is not so solid in the area of self-awareness and accountability. You people are masters at being self-righteous cradled within a false sense of superiority. (And P.S. "Nut job" is an unintelligent person's insult. It says nothing, really.)​ Rogan brings up a great point about being less likely to actually TALK out our problems with each other and people like you who fling poo and call names from the privacy of your internet connection... makes you no better than any one of the people you claim to be a "nut job".

[@justinmiles3094]

Is not the collider bro. We have to bear the blame for this. Or curse is the fact that everything we inherently look to for happiness, satisfaction, and improvement are contradictorily, progenitors of the exact opposite. What actually gives us peace and a sense of purpose are counterintuitively, the very things we've sought to eliminate after labeling them as opstacles to overcome. We've escaped the food chain and reached a level of management over our environment that has now left us with an abundance of free time. Time which we've spent over thinking the most basic and fundamental factors of humanity. To the point that the traits and tendencies we've deemed primitive, toxic, or just plain" bad ", are in all actuality the very characteristics that allowed us to strive and progress to the level where we currently find ourselves as a civilization. Technology has hastened the fall of our age and brought us to the precipice of our own demise much quicker than that of our forebears. We are an amazingly complex and hyper-self-destructive species.

I was in a sociology class in college, and we started talking about gun control. After the overview of the topic, the professor asked us about what we thought. No one said anything. She then said "We aren't moving on until someone gives me their opinion. I have papers I can be grading so we can either have a discussion or you can sit there and waste your tuition dollars. Your choice." Turns out, it wasn't that people didn't have an opinion, it was that they were afraid of being crucified for having the "wrong opinion". After my professor went on a rant about critical thinking, the rest of the semester went pretty smoothly for class discussions.

One day she said "ugh, I absolutely hate SJWs", all I could manage to do is stare in utter confusion until saying "you realize you are one trigger word away from going full blown SJW right?" And she followed with straight up denial. This has lead me to wonder, do the vast majority of SJWs not realize they are one? Like they point and laugh at their peers foolishness until one topic/word is brought up from their own endless list of triggers? It's been 4 years and I still think about that moment.

Call out culture is also based on electronic communications and a lack of social interaction skills. To approach a professor privately would involve a measure of self confidence and the ability to express oneself dynamically and respond dynamically to the other person. Thanks to an extreme reliance on electronic media, those skills are seriously lacking in the post 1995 generation. This is why many people today collapse in tense interpersonal communications and cannot handle them. They prefer to email, text or fill out a form to call someone out or "resolve" a situation. This has also led to emotional weakness in the population and low self confidence. As a result, people are vulnerable and unable to cope which is manifesting in this plethora of social issues we struggle with now.

They were raised on the idea that they were going to “change the world”, and that if they _didn’t_ change the world it would mean they were tantamount to failures.

Like, I really didn't understand why things were so different, so I came to the conclusion that maybe I was inherently evil or something since I couldn't agree with people on anything anymore. I was a hardcore Democrat at the time which is the weird thing. But even back then I felt kinda weird about going on marches because I felt like it was dangerous. And I did not support rioting and do support the police (most police officers are good, I believe). I was a victim of a violent crime when I was 9, so I've always seen the police as my heroes. I remember how safe I felt when I finally saw them as a child. Which is why I would disagree so much with the Left's ideas about the police that I just started to feel left out. IDK. Grad school was very lonely for me and my mental health took a turn for the worst.

In short: ‘if you’re a republican, get the hell out of here because we coddle the left and dare anyone to defy us’. I saw it in classes, on campus, in university-wide announcements, in campus imagery (or lack thereof), and so on and so forth. Discrimination and injustice… absolutely. I’ll stand right in line with minorities who claim and show that to me legitimately not abiding by ‘callout culture’. But what’s happened is that these oppressive and discriminatory things existed for so long that now we’re swinging the pendulum back the other way even stronger in order to compensate which is no different and quite frankly disturbing.

As a former SJW, I must confess: I’m hella embarrassed for what I used to think as a college student from ‘04-‘08. At the time, in a VERY subtle way, the concepts most SJWs have now adopted as pontificated doctrine were being introduced to us in bite-sized amounts. Once placed on an aggregate score, it was easy to see this: that white men and white women were to blame for why things suck for minorities like me. Because “the devil” was finally given a face and a name, it became easy to, as a collective, point to “the problem” and say “so THIS is why things have been so tough for me lately!” Until you actually meet with and interact with “the devil” and you see he/she has a few demons of their own.. Growing out of this flawed logic, I learned one exceedingly important lesson: be prepared to accept that you, yourself, may be the maker of your own misery. And no one else. Edit (5/22/2020): just wanted to add a few more things given the response this comment has received - being an SJW extremist is no less worse than being an extremist Alt-Right. These can BOTH be toxic in high doses. My idealistic wish is for SJWs to realize they are anti-fragile (as Heidt’s book states). And that the last thing they need to be doing is hoisting blame on factors that are external to themselves. It’s amazing what one can achieve when they start to take responsibility for their own actions. My idealistic wish for members of the Alt-Right is to remember that you lose nothing in quieting your own insecurities and concerns and take a moment to listen to the legitimate issues and set-backs minorities and other disenfranchised peoples of this nation have experienced over the years. Everyone froths at the mouth and is ready to be on the defensive without even properly assessing whether an engagement with “the other side” will be an antagonistic one. It may very well be a productive disagreement if we all just let our fingers off the trigger for a moment. That’s all.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

So that's why SJWs have a huge hatred of white people, not just men but also women, too. They really wanted to save the minorities from discrimination only to focus on destroying the Western society for being too "problematic". I'm no expert at political biases but they wanted to ruin their own image just to prove their point. They also ruined the entertainment industry as well by infiltrating the system and slip their agenda to prove that "all men are evil" and "women needs to be saved from a cruel man". I'm not even an American but I feel sorry for the US for getting infected by their ideological views. I'm glad you escaped from the hands of "the Devil" who wanted not only to take over the world, but wanted the world to see them.

[@franciscomiranda6882]

Mr. Friendship it’s easier to hoist responsibility in others before recognizing “The Enemy” is within. That said, this doesn’t, incidentally, mean that institutionalized forms of systemic racism don’t exist. Far from it. Example: the other day I went to my local jewelers to get my watch’s battery replaced. The jeweler is the kind of establishment where I need to be buzzed in in order to gain access. The door had clear windows. And as I approached to ring the buzzer, I noticed an older couple walking towards this same door to leave. They seemed nice and cheery, so I smiled at them, as well. As they opened the door to let themselves out and let me in, the FIRST words out of the woman accompanied by her male companion were “now no shoplifting today, got it!?” with a wag of her finger and a grin. I was too shocked to even know how to respond. Was it racist? Was it prejudicial? Could she have known I’m Hispanic? Was it the way I dressed? Is it the fact I’m young? Was she being prejudicial on the basis of my skin? My age? My appearance? My attire? Was it even a funny joke? Idk. A more charitable interpretation would be “it was just a poorly executed joke..” a more sensitive interpretation would be “it was a racist or, at the very least, a very prejudicial joke.” I’m inclined to believe it was at least prejudicial. And THOSE kinds of things DO need to be stamped out. They were white, btw.

[@jlinus7251]

People used to laugh at me for being a centerist, when I told people stop picking one general side and start thinking on individual issues seperately instead. Group mentality is something we've not evolved out of from our time as tribespeople. It's time for humanity to start thinking like individuals instead of getting stuck in group-think

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Honestly Roe v. Wade doomed any chance you ever see the large scale develop out of party mentality. Once Roe came out conservatives saw an opportunity to stick to an issue to gain power and the liberals adopted the opposite side for the same reasons. Look at how any major political appointment or election almost always hinges on this one topic. Politics has genuinely boiled down to this one issue as a whole.

[@shway1]

thinking on individual issues doesn't necessarily lead to centrism, you can have disagreements with both parties but nevertheless a strong lean to one side, and "picking a side" and adopting all its positions without much consideration can also lead you to becoming a type of moderate. so they are two totally different things. the fact that the system is incapable of supporting more than two parties does obfuscate things and affects the way people think about how others think politically.

I was out of the U.S. for 20 years and recently came back. I think there's A LOT more going on than what people are discussing. Upon return to the U.S. I immediately noticed how rude and hateful so many people are; at the restaurant, stores, everywhere. I connect the rudeness to many things but high on the list is people are grumpy about being in a dead end job with lower pay than before. Looks to me like the country is gutted, millions of jobs were moved overseas and most people have no choice but to basically work like a slave--Wage Theft is a HUGE problem, something we cannot ignore. I don't see a middle class anymore, seems like 1 out of 10 people are upper class the other 9 are lower middle class or poor. I've noticed THE ONLY time someone is nice is when they're trying to sell me something that they'll get a commission for..beyond disturbing..see how the corporations have turned everybody into whores? 2nd, Facebook has ruined millions of peoples lives, yes, this is connected to SJW, it might be COMPLETELY SJW but no matter what Facebook, in my opinion, is WAY WAY more destructive than what most people imagine. I do know people that are on Facebook ALL DAY LONG. At home, work, when they go to the bathroom, while they eat, and even take it to bed with them. It's their one companion, one that has completely INDOCTRINATED them into one side of the story, all the while HATING on people on the other side of the story. In short, I think the roots of all this hatred may go back many decades but once the technology really took off in the late 90's/early 00's the hatred went on steroids. The U.S. may have a high standard of living but is it something to brag about if most of the nation is full of angry, hateful, unhappy, obese, lower middle class, whores for the corporations.. AND extremely addicted to hate-filled Facebook etc?

Between 1992 and 1999 there were some great bands. They came out and spoke a lot about the underdog - what it was like to be one - and that no one should have to be one. A lot of us rallied around it, not realizing it was nihilism hidden as anarchy and fighting any bully. I sure was one of those people. If you felt lyou had been mistreated, ignored, shamed, underestimated and underappreciated - then I was on your side and so was the music of the time. Fast forward to 2021 - a lot of those bands promoting anarchy turned into "Just get the Jab!" groups.. that's their anarchy? Just do what the government says? Then, for al ot of people, the nihilism ran its course, as it always will, and we all began to self-destruct with anxiety and suicides. And now you have these SJW folks that are the extension of that period of time. But like many extensions, they are a caricature of the original intent. As for me, I figured it out - Nihilism sucks. Reading from a weak loser script is where a lot of us start (as its the script that is handed to us) but a lot of us throw that script away, and grab something stronger and healthier...and then we evolve furhter, and grab something even stronger and healthier. Rinse, repeat as neeeded. Don't fall for the nihilism in our society. It's not a hero's message. Don't fall for the endless dark depressing messages in everything these days. Beauty IS. So are You.
