I bow to your clearly highly nuanced take of checks notes "people who care about social justice are a bunch of whiners who are bad at politics".

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee -4 points 2 weeks ago

It’s pretty well understood that the term SJW represents your typical keyboard warrior that whines about politics they don’t like or understand during election years to the point that they will urge people not to vote only to spend the time between election years complaining about the results of their inaction.

They’re not part of the solution, they’re part of the problem.

From the sorts of things I've seen, it's anyone with "blue hair and pronouns", particularly if they have had a particularly viral moment that can be easily inserted into "Woke SJWs OWNED" clip compilations. Typing on a keyboard doesn't make for very good visual content, but I suppose posts clipped to show how cringe SJWs are is probably what you're referring to.

Somehow, I doubt you have a full picture of their political activities based only off what someone else was able to turn into ragebait.

Okay. We’re clearly not talking about the same thing, and I don’t argue with people that rearrange my words and spit them back at me in the form of things I never said.

Stop doing that, and have a good day.

Perhaps you should consider people as more than what they post on social media, especially given how many of those platforms have a financial interest in showing you things that make you mad. I don't see much political relevancy in the sentiment that the problem with the current political climate is that people aren't voting hard enough, but if you're committed to complaining online that people spend too much time online complaining and not enough time voting harder, then I wish you luck.

Perhaps you should also not assume what others do. I don’t have any social media accounts where I would see curated information. Aside from lemmy.

Which, if you are going to suggest lemmy is biased towards being anti-SJW, I’m going to laugh my ass off and not take anything you say seriously.

[-] chaonaut@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

And yet you're conversant in the idea of SJWs and keyboard warriors. Where did you come by that idea, and who are these people whose political existence is so sharply limited to online discourse?

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee -4 points 2 weeks ago

I didn’t just come to this idea, everyone pretty much did around 2011. Look it up.

[-] chaonaut@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I was there for it, and watched it happen. I'm familiar with the sort of people who popularized the idea that Social Justice is something to be derided. I'm not too keen on basing my idea of what is bad social justice on the definition that comes to us from the people who thought journalistic malpractice was based on who Zoe Quinn's ex was mad at.

you are a sad person. no substance, no spine.

go ahead, call me "kiddo." tell me how you're totally super active in local politics. say "propagandist" again. say all the shit you're busy repeating here, day in, day out.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee -3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Propagandist. (Only doing what you asked)

I’m seeing that you seem to have no problem with all the “don’t vote!” And anti-Biden bullshit here. So maybe we shouldn’t be taking a stance on the bias of others here, hmmmm?
