Social justice is exhausting

[Give Her The D]

Welcome to radical centrism, friend. Strap in because trust me, its a bumpy ride.

I just wanna go for some hookers and blow and not think about the political aspects of supporting sex workers. Is that too much to ask?

I suspect you might have autism.

I used to love K'nex as a child, I thought legos was the autism?

but what exactly is the non-violent solution for this sort of stuff (not the violent solution isn't completely counter-productive and pointless)

I think social media is largely to blame, twitter, facebook, reddit, imgur, anything with an upvote system or mass commenting where its easy to create the false sense that everyone agrees with you. We didn't have much of that during the early 2000s, everyone was still using chat programs like MSN, AIM, ICQ that required direct interaction, and bots weren't sophisticated enough to blend in. People used to find amusement just replying to SmarterChild, now they probably argue with SmarterChild's descendents.

In 5 years, personal pronouns will have stopped being trendy 3 years prior.

Reading through the tumblr threads here on the farms there is evidence going back to at least 2015 of all the same 50 genders trend, I think its past the point of being a pog or pokemon card style fad. If you dig back further I guess technically they've been discussing extra genders and stuff in universities even before the 90s, but it never became trendy or acceptable until recent years.

You probably would have reacted the same way to scene girls and goth chicks, only their crowds weren't as obnoxious.

>would have
I think you mean do
They're just much much rarer now, but damn, it does it for me nonetheless.

My mom is nothing like either of these. I never really got the whole Freud thing, I understand it but I just can't relate

Just don't worry about stuff you can't control. Just find a few friends that you love and keep em close, stay on good terms with family, and focus your attention on yourself. If you can't love yourself, you can't love a significant other. That's how I cope. And pay less attention to the news. You'll be happier, I swear.

I think I would have agreed with you years ago, I know I used to tell people the same thing. I just think these trends have made their way too far into the real world that I can't ignore them. It's easy to not visit any media outlets on the internet, it's hard when your bank is pushing 50 genders or trans ads to get more customers. I wish I could have enough friends that I didn't have time to think about those things either, but it's hard to make friends when everyone is divided down the middle and both sides tend to be obnoxious. Plus you know, I don't have much to offer in friendship besides a mutual love for sharing old things.

I stopped caring about what the socjus crowd thinks a long time ago. They’re a bunch of useless retards. You can’t really change them, just focus on you and what you do.

 

[Monsieur Guillotine]

The social justice community is just a bunch of in-fighting slacktivists. A lot of SJWs eventually just lose interest when they realize this, and/or that their upvotes and retweets have no real-world value.

And if one of them confronts you and says dumb shit, stand up for what you believe in.

 

[JektheDumbass]

I'm exhausted by bigots moaning about their inability to be bigoted in public anymore. We won, you lost. Shut up and bend the knee.

I'm a bigot in public all the time. They should just try harder.

 

[Begemot]

No, they should get on the right side of history.

 

[Dysnomia]

I used to be way more tolerant. But SJW's REEEEEing about their pronouns and triggers and -isms has wore me out to the point where I just don't want to deal with it. These days only the T in LGBT seems to count and they keep adding letters anyway. Unless you are a trans woman of color you just aren't special enough. You want special treatment all damn day? Fine. But it's going to end up costing you. What happened to trying to blend in? It's not even about becoming a woman now. It's about being trans like it's some third gender. That makes you stick out and you are open to even more ostracization. But looking at Troon Twitter I think that's what they want. They love being offended because it makes them feel relevant. Same goes for all the other SJW categories.

Social Justice is exhausting, yes. It will run its course. These things usually do. Though, it usually takes years.

Indeed, because at that point the concept of neurodiversity will have had seeped outside of academia into the mainstream.
Even as one of these cancers go into remission, an even more deadly one takes it place.

 

[Autocrat]

I am kind of sick of people pleasing types saying both SJW's and anti SJW's are equally as bad.
The mayor of the city I live in has said that residents want more undocumented immigrants. Homelessness in the area has risen over 40% in the past few years. Public schools in the city are atrocious. The last thing we need is more bottom feeders (illegals are habitually lower class, and once they breed in-country, they get public assistance). Yet to put forward the notion that 'hey, maybe we should have less illegal immigrants in the country' is akin to nazisism to many of these people. It's gross.

Did you time travel here from 2015?

What do you call them?

You are very out of touch if you think that. It simply hasn't reached you yet in the real world. It is very, very, increasingly common for pronounce to preface work emails for example. It's not going away buddy.

I just can't imagine working class or "lite white collar" folks (the unsalaried people in your office who run the mailroom, etc.) going along with this for very long. That's the world I come from. The Obama voters who switched to Trump.

Not necessarily saying anything about my own voting patterns.

Interesting juxtaposition of "very out of touch" and "real world" though. It must be very "Woke" where you travel IRL.

 

[Koby_Fish]

It's time to redpill the normies en masse, tbh. Sometimes IngSoc Justice types end up inadvertently doing so themselves when they put out something public that garners so many incredulous reactions that many more people are disgusted than brainwashed into the SocJus.

Well by real world, I mean that you haven't experienced much SJW things irl. I live in a woke epicenter to be fair, but I just see that it's more than a fad. MeToo, the push forced equal representation, media's narrative on things like the illegal immigrant sting at the chicken plant, the notion that all Trump supporters are deplorable racists. To get past this, it'll take a big cultural shift off of our current trajectory.

 

[I should be working]

From just the title alone this would be an interesting topic.
So why, pray tell, did you write your own fucking autobiography in the OP!?
At the very least you could have given us a fucking tl;dr so I know what the discussion's supposed to be.
I got a fucking life y'know.

Yep. In the working world, this shit is embedding deeper and faster than anyone could imagine. It’s now common for leftist millennials to squeal to HR for disagreeing with them. I have to watch hours of diversity horseshit each quarter because the diversity consultant we paid millions of dollars said that the lack of appreciation for other people’s pronouns was the biggest threat to the company; that’s right, more than safety or logistical issues.

This dumb bullshit is everywhere to the point where you really can’t just keep your head down and mind your own business. I’m pretty sure that’s how we got here in the first place instead of nipping this in the bud.

There are definitely some parallells between the kind of people who just like to get mad about something on both sides or get people fired. But that doesn't mean people should have to be grouped with one side or the other if they dont like something. I don't like mass immigration because overpopulation sucks and its already ruining my part of the world, also because my country tries to change things for outside cultures instead of forcing them to adapt and assimilate. At the same time that doesn't mean I don't have foreign friends or haven't met nice people that I think deserve better treatment. I think more than anything just as we shouldnt generalize whole groups of people, we shouldnt be accepting them as a group either. Judge individuals for their qualities, and don't give them a free pass because they fit one group or another.

Helps to give some perspective where I'm coming from. Most of us are used to reading giant biographies.
