Origins of SJWism?

Speaking from my personal experience of being sucked into the 'SJW' train and coming out the other side when it all got too crazy...Younger people today are a generation raised on stories of civil rights movements. Throughout our education we've been told again and again 'bigotry bad, accept everyone, look at these evil people from the past' (and I'm not criticising that - It's important to know our history and raise our children to be better than we were). It's given us an urge to fight, to be on 'the right side of history' - No-one wants to be the white person photographed screaming at black kids entering a school, they want to be the person standing in solidarity with them. I don't think this urge itself is a bad thing, but it's very easy to manipulate. Don't feel comfortable with giving a 10 year old puberty blockers? Bigot! You're just like the white people who protested the end of Jim Crow laws! We've been raised to fight, and now we're looking for a cause to latch onto, and not properly evaluating whether it's worth the support. Add in an echo chamber like tumblr and it all gets crazy real fast.
I was also on tumblr during the whole rise of the Social Justice movement, and I think it's that classic thing of good intentions being distorted. It started off with fairly innocent 'be a decent person' stuff - Don't fetishise gay men, don't stereotype all black people as 'hood' - which I think especially took off with the tumblr demographic for the reasons I mentioned above, and because they were mostly 12-13 year old girls who took a lot of comfort in hearing, for example, they were allowed to be annoyed at the changing ways they were being treated by men as they entered puberty. Even the start of the gender stuff was basically just 'Don't hate someone for suffering from GD, it's not exactly a choice'. Then tumblr did what tumblr does best and romantised the hell out of these oppressed identities. Add in a splash of post-modernism and all of a sudden you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans anymore and Queer Theory is a thing.
Obvs this isn't the entire reason, just a small part of the rise, but it's the part I was around to witness.
 
My guess would be that it has some roots in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Both were a way to express anger at a system that was clearly fucked up, yet power either couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it. Barack Obama's election also contributed, since for a while the media was spinning the Republicans as the party of racist sore losers for daring to defy the Will of the People, because racism was the only possible reason anyone could be opposed to Obama.
/Pol/ has been claiming they have been fighting sjwism prior to 2011. So I think it's a meaningless buzzword. Radical activist ideology has its roots in 1960s/1970s post-structural theory with a bump in the 1980s. It's largely a contextual thing and it's influenced by personal bias on the internet more then anything else. If your parents grew up believing in the patriarchy chances are if you are female and comfortably middle class and don't have deeper concerns then so will you.
 
I don't think there is one single origin or explanation, but a combination of factors. For once, Social Justice on itself seems to be Christian in origin, but these people aren't Christian.

What happened, I think, it's that in the past five years, many different beliefs converged or, rather, it was a chain reaction:

  1. USA society became more politically correct plus, good economy created overprotective parents whose kids were not ready to face the world alone -->
  2. Leftist Universities always existed, but were given more prominence once these kids became students as they were easy to indoctrinate -->
  3. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Communism needed a make-over. Fidel Castro and Lula da Silva pretty much started a new Commie-summit in which they added a lot of social justice babble into their manifesto -->
  4. Venezuela happened, making people believe Socialism works (for a while, it kinda did) and encourage radical leftists -->
  5. Social media become important to a new generation of people, creating not only mass hysteria but the need to advertise their virtue online as a way to develop a personality.

The reason it all exploded at the end is because the people in charge of our governments aren't stupid. They know that by saying "oh, I'm a feminist!" or "I'm fighting racism!", they can control people and convince them they're good. Canada's economy is doing bad but even people who i consider smart don't mind because their PM fights inequality. If smart people buy this shit, imagine how stupid people react to it.
 
The modern social justice movement is drawn from both Postmodernism (via French philosopher writers like Foucault and Derrida), and Marxism. The Postmodern aspect takes the idea that truth is relative, and turns it up to 11. But there's a contradiction there. On one hand they say that there is no absolute truth, but then they behave as though the idea that there is no absolute truth is absolutely true. Then it sprouted into "YOUR Truth", that is, the "lived experiences" (GOD I HATE that fucking compound BUZZWORD) of a person are all that matter, and the higher your score in the Oppression Olympics, the more weight "Your Truth" carries. Then came people like bell hooks (who does she think she is, k.d. lang?) and a bunch of others who started Critical Race Theory, where heads I (color) win, tails you (huwhite) lose, where it was formulated that intentions of a person don't matter, only the feelings of an offended person, because the 'lived experience' of a person who is offended by something is 'their truth' and therefore nothing can make it 'untrue'. Therefore if an offended person Of Color (or any other Oppressed Minority, really) says something is racist, even if there is no earthly reason that it even COULD or SHOULD be, then by god IT IS, because then, at that point, for some reason, their word is absolute truth. Listen and believe. Because lord help you, if you TRY to make it 'untrue', you're 'silencing marginalized voices'.

The other thing the Postmodern movement loves to do is surreptitiously and randomly redefine words unilaterally. For instance, they've attempted to force their redefinition of the word "racism" so that it means more or less the same thing as the term "Institutional Racism". It's a bait-and-switch definition, because on the one hand they say that everybody (white) is racist because something something structural structures of instutional inequality or whatever so it's not conscious or even deliberate, but on the other hand they treat it as if it were the definition everybody else uses, which is someone who looks down actively on someone of a different race/skin color and deems them inferior, and uses the accusation of "racist" to achieve the effect of shaming the person, even if the person does not hold the beliefs of the dictionary definition of racism.

The Marxist part comes in when they accuse someone of Wrongthink (and racism/insert 'phobia' here), and then they treat it like Mao's little groups of people where people had to confess their capitalist sins or whatever and get shamed by the group, and no matter what, you can't win, it's a total catch-22, off to the gulag you go. And also they really, really like communism/socialism and censoring ideas they do not like.

Some of the others that contributed heavily to current social justice are Judith Butler (with the whole gender theory thing which she got from that fraud quack Dr. John Money, look him up, he was a monster), and Peggy MacIntosh, author of the concept of "privilege" (particularly huwhite privilege).

So then these people and others got into academia, started making courses like Womens' Studies and placed it in the Humanities (under Sociology), and infected all the resulting classes. In short, ANY course with "Studies" in the name (Ethnic studies, LGBTLMNOP studies, Gender Studies, African-American Studies) is suspect. Also vulnerable to corruption are Anthropology, History, Communications, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Science, and even English. Womens' Studies didn't used to be as "bad" in the 1990s as it is now in the Social Justice (TERFs were more common then and more open, for one thing, and the postmodernism hadn't fully soaked in yet).

And of course they reject the traditional concepts of good and evil, but then everyone who disagrees with them is completely evil.

If there really is no objective truth then why should I listen to these motherfuckers either?

People need to stand up and call out Postmodern horse shit and deny them their desire to equivocate definitions. It's like NOPE, not accepting that garbage, I don't care which ivory-tower academic approved the redefinition, please drive through.

It was teh j00s
Well if it was, they created a monster. Nothing's more antisemitic than social justice, especially on the Black Power and Palestinian side of things.

I'd call it Marxism by way of a neoliberal meritocracy of 21th century America. Bourgeois society is very competitive, and the concept of privilege is a way of delegitimizing inequality by making it an act of injustice. What you're describing sounds a bit more Orwellian.
 
Marxists realized that people actually liked having a job so they had to think up a new strategy. Their strategy was to call their opposition a bigot, whether racial, sexual, or trans. No one wants to look like a bigot who hates people just because of their race, sex, or chosen gender, so it was proven effective.

Now the attack plan is to find a disproportionality in some certain way to some certain group, claim it, dismiss it as such, then just throw out the person or idea.

For an obvious example, "you can not wear Air Jordans on this sidewalk. I don't care what race you are.". This policy would be considered racist because a minority disproportionately wears those kinds of shoes, therefor this policy is racist, therefor we can throw it out and destroy the life of whoever who brought it up.

EDIT: To add. What if I believe that welfare brings out the worst in people and thus should be abolished? I don't hate minorities I just think welfare brings out the worst of their traits and abolishing it would allow them to integrate with society more easily with less racial tension. Well since "racist" just means "the left disagrees with it and there's a disproportionality concerning race" my policy would be considered racist, I would be considered racist, and my ideas and I would be thrown out.

It always comes back to the boomers.

Read the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Hate speech, feelings and "equity" instead of equality. This is the model for the modern sjw. The magnum opus of Trudeau Sr. that came about due to retarded boomers being proto-sjws and adults being obsessed with keeping Quebec in Canada.

Never let the boomer go on about the kids because it is they who are the root of the sjw madness.

Of course, sjw logic was used to oppose communism so the boomers probably got it from their parents.

All those "Studies" are "problematic" because they have an obvious slant. History, philosophy and English do not have it built in and can be a fact-based experiences.
 
The rise of the modern regressive movement I believe is due to the rise of social media and the internet as a whole. The internet made us more connected than ever before allowing anyone to voice their opinions and find others that share the same beliefs creating an echo chamber and cult like behavior.

I also don't even really know what term to describe them with other than "SJW", even though it's incredibly overused and doesn't roll off the tongue well.
that's why I like the term regressive cause a lot of what they are preaching is just fundamentalism under the guise of being progressive.
your not with us your with the (nazis) (terrorist)
 
If you want to get to the bottom of it, you just need to answer one question: who benefits most from outrage culture and having all of us at each other's throats all the time (black lives matter against blue lives matter, occupy wall street against yuppies, pro-life against pro-choice, etc)?

Hint: it's the same people who know that if we're too busy fighting each other, we can't solve the real issues that require everyone to work together for the greater good.

And of course, since shouting at your neighbor is easier than solving complex systemic issues, people will gladly fall for it every single time.

Yes, History, Philosophy, and English are fact-based. But when the Intersectional Feminists get a hold of them, they cease to be. Many Marxist nutjob professors have infected any course they teach with Postmodernist malarkey, even if it really has nothing to do with IngSoc Justice, and fill students' heads with their propaganda while forbidding them to question it. Even Mathematics. There's Feminist Geography, which has about as much to do with Geography as tampons have to do with maps. Feminists in STEM have infected those courses as well, leading to the well-known trolling of academia by some people who got fake research (about rape culture in dog parks for instance) past the peer-review and published as serious papers. All of academia is now filled with this rot, particularly in the Ivy League and places like Berserkley.

The humanities actually have it better off than STEM because at the end of the day a person in the humanities will be able to find journals that are run professionally or are of a right wing slant. Or they can just publish their own book and bypass all of that nonsense.

STEM is run by central bodies that are infested by sjws. Genetics has been basically crippled by sjws.
 
If you believe Nietzsche it started with Jesus. A bunch of 19th century idealists then mutated it into egalitarianism, and now we have a bunch of idiots telling everyone to think the right thoughts because thoughts create reality, with the internet enabling them to be far more obnoxious about it than before.
 
There's some interesting origins of this SJW movement throughout history.

For instance as far back as I've been taught, feminism (female supremacy) was one of the origin points. Which was a major factor of Rome.

https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/feminism-responsible-for-the-fall-of-rome/

Although they refer to them as "Feminist" they actually had a very specific name and a political party but their beliefs and pushes are the same as modern day feminist. Which is not coincidental and predates Marxist/Communist pushes by many years. It's just many people are not aware of this part of history. Sorry I can't remember the exact name of that party.

---

Severe altruism:

This is partially based on Chrisitanity but most of the people pushing this suicidal version of it are neither Christians or cherry picked to come to this idiotic idea.

There's also an aspect to how these children who become SJW's were raised but I'll get to that in a second.

---
Parenting:

Many SJW's were raised in harmful environments:

-Taught egalitarian delusional concepts. (Everyone is the same no matter what.)
-Spoiled/never questioned, treated like a genius or "right" no matter what.
-Parents were overprotective either removing them from specific "harmful" content, or enforcing a concept of self loathing.
-Possibly new people with racial/sexual grievances and took those friends or acquaintances stories to heart no matter how true or blatantly false. Framing their world view on such claims.
-Bullied, but instead of becoming reflective instead developed a vengeful mentality and a drive to enforce their need for it.
-Was either taught or learned to emotionally manipulate others early on.
-Most dedicated SJW's may even be full blown sociopaths or psychopaths. They never see their views as wrong, and like cultist preform purity tests and spirals. They fake compassion, "fairness." but have the lacking of the most basic understanding of what they mean in a twisted manner.

---

Social Media: Forums/etc. Is where many of these people met each other most likely and then formed into these vitriolic groups. I remember back in the 1998 era when I first started viewing forums (and had access to a computer) seeing some early "SJW" types, always manipulating, always testing how far they could push people, and would often create or stage false flags, alt accounts and more to either reinforce their reputation or worse. It's why I suspect some may be full blown sociopaths/psychopaths some of them are pretty disturbed individuals.

I'd also apply this is why they hate cops so much is because their narrow world view makes them angry that someone enforces rules they don't wish to abide by or believe in. They just use racial injustice excuse as a scapegoat, or to emotionally plead their case to normies.

---

The obvious Marxism is also part of it, as basically explained. I'd also add in Yuri Besmenov mentioned similar classes related to "progressive" classes and more happening with regards to Communist propoganda. So it seems the Russians also have a hand in creating this monster of a group/ideology.

---

Hippie ideology/Hipster mentality/Cultist behavior:

This is where their fondness for unorthodox groups and more comes from . Their defense for groups that make no literal sense, such as Muslims (who are extreme conservatives in a sense yet the SJW's (leftist) ally with them. There have been sects of SJWs housing kids who didn't meet their beliefs and as I recall were shunned and mistreated until they fell back in line.

---

Muslims and Taqiya/subversion/Treason/Sexual predators/pedophile enablers:

Many subversion based groups have also infiltrated to b shielded by these ignorant fools, or used as a means to expand power. Many politicians fall in line, and we see such as often time in western countries Muslims defy law, or lie about Islam and then the SJW's rush to their defense. I personally believe Muslims are using them to subvert western nations to take over playing to the SJW's good graces until they can
vastly out populate the normal citizens. Which so far is showing to be mainly true by their actions and birth rates since entering the west.

Whatever other groups hate the West and want it to fall are protected or ignored by the SJWs: La Raza, The Mexican Resistance, Islam, etc. These groups also jumped into the group somewhere along the line to expand their power.

The other quaint thing is it seems pedophiles form the 90's have been using SJW's for their own means. It would also explain there want for a an open border to make sex trafficking easier, the colleges a few years back rethinking questioning pedophilia :

https://theothermccain.com/about/2002-harmful-to-minors/

https://dailycaller.com/2011/08/15/conference-aims-to-normalize-pedophilia/ In case people think I'm making this up.

---

Now, the thing on subversion is I believe it's one of the main origins, as you can see up until recently there were no signs of SJws to some major degree, the next thing we know they have control of most of our tech industry, corporations, politicians, it smells like to me this was planned years in advance. Especially the accelerated growth that they keep appearing with.

--

Race baiters/Supremacist/:

It seems many origins of the intersectional playbook come from supremacist (See the feminism in Rome concept) and even race baiters like Rev. Al Sharpton. Part of the extreme acceptance of such insanity could be a pendulum shift from America's and other Western culture's dark history, and I'd argue a lack of historical context for SJW's would explain their misguided views on history and more.

------------

Hollywood:

Hollywood in it's aging representation has always housed degenerates, nut cases, people who professionally act as normal human beings. Subversion during McCarthy era found there was subversion in Hollywood, which could also tie into where the propoganda started. (Celebrities are heavily influental which would lead to corporations/major leads to being influenced and more)

It could also explain where the "progressive" mind sets developed or the origin of SJW's influence and power on society.

---

In sum, SJW's seem to be a hybrid of multiple ideologies (religious, philosophical, and ideological), subverters who have jumped aboard the bandwagon and severe ties to such times and places as Ancient Rome, Soviet Russia, and more. (Marxism for instance) It's hard to place all origins of every aspect of the "SJWism" / "SJW cult" but there are some obvious ones and some not so well known.
