That sounds like some hippy shit to me.  I'm gonna go actively seek out things that make me angry and then explode into paroxysms with rage, all the while pretending that I'm pursuing some mode of serious philosophical inquiry.  Might make a few smarmy statements that I estimate to be intelligent criticisms while I'm at it.

Or I could try writing some political outrage rant mad-libs.  Either way.

you actively seeked out this thread and it looks to me like you're angry so it seems like you're doing a good job of that already

For every neo-nazi out there, there is an antifa dude waiting to harrass people in the street. For every wing nut just riddling with anticipation to push their new and refined hot off the circuit political theory at the dinner table, there is a social justice warrior there to take a hardlined stance against everything that person stands for. For every college kid marxist who wants a bloody revolution, there is a wealthy doctor who believes in selective genocide. For every innocent man killed by a cop, there is a cop shot by a violent drug gang.

Shit is a never ending bickering match between people who want badly to identify with something bigger than themselves, but don't have any real opinions of their own. And yes, this willingness to throw rationality and a logical set of non-contradicting ethics out the window in return for the comfort of acceptance in a group or self-validation is easily used by corporations, governments, political parties, the wealthy and intelligent, the media - to manipulate the masses, without a doubt. But it goes both ways, and crying foul when someone calls you a pedophile for being a liberal hardliner or a nazi for being conservative while in the same breath calling the other-side Stalinist bootlickers and closet kiddy diddlers is blatant irony.

But then if you don't want to be a part of identity crisis politics they call you a fence sitter or equate you to being someone complicit in the suppression of freedoms as defined by whatever group. If you don't agree with one hoards daily contradictions 100% you're either one of "them" or you're a fence rider, and no one wants to be that. For two groups with seemingly nothing in common, there seems to be one common theme. The idea that if the otherside has any victories in self-validation of their ideas, it's a threat to the very way of life we all share, but in my mind the real threat is masses of people being tricked into focusing on penises on women, tweets of the day and whether or not saying hi to someone is rape. Yes, useful idiots serve to destabilize society no doubt, and I agree there are SJW's that take it to a point of ridiculousness, that some of these people are afraid to take stances that are perceived to be even remotely moderate. The same is true for Alt-Righters, all fearing of being ridiculed and emasculated by their more hardlined friends.

Shit's weak, both groups have taken the idea of mindless sheep waiting to be herded by their masters to a level of outright blatancy and resigned acceptance, and dragged down a larger portion of society with them in the process. There is no cool off period anymore, just mindless garbage for people to argue about while they are distracted from thinking about real issues in between election cycles.

Why does everyone get so triggered by the SJW acronym anyway? That's what they wanted to be called. They turned themselves into a meme.

Yo when did you become so vehement about this Shroomism?

You're a pretty level-headed guy.

I've been on university campuses for a good while now on the west coast and have encountered many so called SJW's,

and yes - they can be obnoxious - annoying - and at worst companies can sometimes pressure themselves into making decisions based off of that line of thinking but...

What does it all really matter? I feel like if everyone just threw up their hands and was like "Okay, sure, whatever!" - most almost have no actual meaningful policy they wish to have enacted other than wanting some funny little treatment - it would never reach this level of tone.

What creates hysteria like this is conflict - they saw a problem that was likely a somewhat genuine one- many many years back and reacted to it (think 60-70s era feminism roots) - but it is the reaction to that reaction which has mirrored one another in a big ass cascading reaction within both divergent cultures that has created this gigantic hissyfit on both sides.

When you really boil it down to the core who even cares it's so petty.

So basically let these SJW's do whatever they want to affect campus policy and sit back and do nothing because "who even cares it's so petty"?

"What creates hysteria like this is conflict"

Again, you are placing the blame on the people rejecting some insane policy and the movements behind it.

If these SJW's are always attacking one demographic (straight white males) for all of their problems, why should they be allowed to counter it?

What's the insane policy? out here the most insane thing I've seen is a unisex bathroom, which is cool with me

I could say the say thing about SWJ's

It's all subjective. There are definitely a lot of neo nazis in some places, as well as similar racist extremists.
