SJW

Postby Symmetry on Tue Apr 17, 2018 11:54 pm

This is a weird phrase that's come up over the last few years. It seems to be kinda popular among people who are angry about the idea of fighting for a just society. For those not in the know. It stands for Social Justice Warrior. and the JW part of it is, of course a complete coincidence for people on the far/alt/right. People who use the phrase don't tend to like Jewish people, of courses, but hey, it's not like they're being totally obvious about it. Ask them what they think about George Soros.

SJW

So let's take them at face value, if you think I've been unfair. Social Justice Warrior. Kind of an awkward phrase. Fighting for a just society isn't really a bad thing, right? In the US- the Founding fathers, Abe Lincoln, MLK? In the UK- Magna Carta, Willberforce, Pankhurst?

Is fighting for society based on justice such a bad thing?

Hmm, your first thought was that the S stood for Symmetry?
And even after being told, you still think it's about me?

How telling

This is probably the most absurd thing I've read in months. Do you have any evidence of this? Statistics Maybe? Charts? Graphs? If you can show me evidence I'll have to call you "PROFILER". Are you claiming that every SJW is a Jew? As if everybody who fights for social justice is Jewish. Do you know other people fight for social justice? Like black people, Asian people, not mrswlk, white people and Latina.

Yes, mrswlk is not interested in justice but mrswdk is. That is why she is my nemesis and why the two of us have fought like beavers for centuries.

"A Jew"? You know, you could have just said Jewish people. Obviously, no to the rest of your outrage.

Warm, as a point to help you out, try not to use "SJW" and "Jew" in the same sentence. I was being sarcastic when I said it wasn't like it was totally obvious.

Symmetry is radical Muslim, and as such he hates the Jews and tries to lure us all to not like the Jews(just look at the opinions in the pool)

Jew... Jewish people.... Who gives a shit other than SJW's.

Depends on what your view of justice is. One person may say the death penalty is justice. Others think rehabilitation at all costs is justice. One coin with two sides. Left/right paradigm.

I always wonder at the diction used by those claiming to represent justice, or at least their idea of whatever justice is.

We're constantly "fighting," or "oppressed by forces determined to undermine us," etc etc. There's always this way of speaking or writing, repetetious and directed, with the listener embroiled on all sides by some caricature like the bad guy from Harry Potter. It sounds like marketing. Or maybe it's just memes and zeitgeist, who knows? Like what's popular in movies at any given era. During wwii and the cold war, films feature attack by aliens. Now we have films where the enemy is our corrupt government. I mean, sure, they're probably corrupt, just like all governments since the beginning of time. But is it really important?

Plato wrote basically the ideation of justice, for the western world at least. But never is it strictly defined in a short one- or two-sentence summary, and never does he use marketing ploys aimed at teenagers.

Why would somebody not say a Jew and instead say Jewish people? This is something I have never heard before.

Hah. I generally don't like anything pretentious that tries to cram their political views on me by offering a social commentary, but i think that may be my favorite scene from sunny. Not the funniest, but just how well they depict the attitude of people in my generation, with how vitriolic they are in support/opposition to the war, but just having no clue as to why beyond everyday platitudes they've heard before. It really is great.
