-A fatalistic "us v.s them" mentality that negates any chance of reasonable discourse or compromise.

By far my least favorite thing about them is that you're more likely to have a dialogue with a young earth creationist than a social justice activist, who are quite content to hide in their own communities and do most of their work on social media where debate is nearly impossible. And then there's the increasing number of sites that are abolishing comment sections. Guess what those have in common.

I'm probably more likely to personally have a conversation with Kent Hovind than certain members of this forum.

Cory mentioning the phrase "largely fictional outside enemies" is just too ironic in the context of this thread.

I'm not wrong though.

Something I forgot in my previous post:

-The redefinition ("rape" and "violence" have become the most versatile nouns in the English language) of words and use of newspeak to insulate the party members from the outside world, thus preventing any chance of them being exposed to dissenting opinions.

Really my biggest problem with them beside the whole slacktivism issue, is the fact that they taint any issue they adopt (even when the issue is good) by making everything about "privilege". If someone hire a incompetent  or unqualified white male to do a job, my primarily problem with it would be the whole "incompetent" or "unqualified", while SJW sell the issue as the fundamental problem is "white male", and you can argue (rightfully) that other groups aren't well represented enough in a lot of jobs, but when negative valued words like "incompetent" or "unqualified" in the description of person, those are the things to focus on, and focusing on privilege weaken the cause.

It goes in tandem with my last post in which I compared their though process to an authoritarian cult a la Mao's China.

Also notice how they almost entirely gloss over class privilege (the biggest privilege of all).

Hmmm I wonder why?

It's like they're the inverse of TNF!

They also all have first world privilege.

But that's exactly the point, it's mostly a internet culture, unless you're student or work on a American college, you're not going to interact with these people. We other "meet" them on the internet, where they poison discussion specifict and behave obnoxious in general. You can just as well say that 4chan and MRA doesn't exist just because most of us are lucky enough to never interact with these people in meatspace.

In that case start reading the gawker and related sites, and especially look at the comments.

"Free bleeding" is not a real feminist thing, it's a hoax perpetuated by 4chan trolls.

And they were so stupid they utterly tripped and fell for it. We've been over this before.

I've watched people transform from regular liberals who I could have a rational debate with into SJWs over time.  It's depressing to watch.

no i'm talking just in general. newsflash: if you use online comments sections as a source for anything, you're a fųckin' idiot. even reddit would be better ffs.

this continues to be a lie.

Proto-SJWers who epitomized Tumblr before Tumblr existed are what got me into politics.

The overwhelming majority of people voting HP in this thread have only advanced caricatures or outright fabrications of what "SJWs" are actually about. I echo evergreen here: most people on here have probably never interacted with an actual SJW.

I have a hunch that a majority of the HP voters in this thread would agree with something along the lines of "I'm colorblind to race" or "I'm an equalist, not a feminist."

I expect nothing less from a forum dominated by young, predominantly white and middle-class men to have absolute garbage views on feminism and racial issues.

oh and
it ain't a forced meme, friend. the skeleton-to-skeleton extension is well known in skeleton circles, which again supports my point.
