Social Justice Warriors Thread

There's a lot of "kids" on Facebook that are unaware any other arguments exist: they've been indoctrinated in school, college, news media entertainment, and workplace. SJWs have successfully taken control of all the readily accessible sources of information.

I applaud your tenacity, and faith in your fellow humans to be both capable and interested in learning.

I've recently lost a lot of that faith. I still try though for the 1 or 2 people who seem benefited by it.

p.s. I've come to the conclusion that Ron Paul has a following because he plays into greed: that you can do it all yourself, and you deserve all the rewards. My narrative doesn't have a hook in the base motivations.

That's a rather weird reading of Paul.

[SuburbanFarmer]

Maybe he meant Rand Paul? Or Mitt Romney?

Hm. I'm about as non-greedy as you can get. That's not my perception of Ron (or Rand,) Paul at all.

That IS the basis of Libertarianism

[Fife]

Maybe some demented kindergarten version. The term has had any actual meaning it might have had sucked out of it.

That's not my take on the term, though, I don't consider myself Libertarian. I support more of their platform than that of the other two parties combined, though. Their ideas, in general, I think are spot on. The devil is in the details, though.

Like I said, I’ve given up on most people. There’s a few out there, 1 in 100, who are swayed by my arguments.

p.s. Maybe 1:1000, can’t really tell they’re so few.

[Fife]

OK, what's the basis for your argument that RP is a "go it alone" guy?

Convince me, I'm open-minded.

[Martin Hash]

Waste of time. I’ll post my podcasts, and write my books, and run for political office, but I’m done debating.
