Re: The social justice wars
You are creating the impression that you have become part of an extreme revolutionary movement that seeks the destruction of the liberal establishment No I'm not. You are projecting. I am liberal myself, believing in freedom of speech, so I wouldn't be trying to destroy anything liberal. I am howev...

Re: The social justice wars
So you obviously believe that women are being bullied by anti-SJWs, such as myself.David Quinn wrote:As the anti-SJW crowd are finding out, trying to bully women into submission is not going to work
Can you provide any evidence that this is happening, or is this just something you believe on faith?

I've already explained this many times, so I am repeating myself.David Quinn wrote:Can you clarify what you mean by this?

The same source that the mainstream media uses.Dan Rowden wrote:My primary source for media information is Twitter.
Even then, if the source says that 2 + 2 = 4, the media will report that 2 + 2 = 5. That's what they call "informed reporting".

Re: The social justice wars
I agree with this. In addition, I predict that as the left becomes increasingly insane and power-drunk, following it's current course, it will itself further fragment into countless parts. The left is censoring itself out of existence.Diebert van Rhijn wrote:Just more fragmentation, more political disconnect.

Re: The social justice wars

widely discussed in various forms of media. The left wing media. That's not an argument. It's like saying "It's in the Bible". It's a logical fallacy - the appeal to authority. They are obviously not doing a very good job of it! They're doing an excellent job of censorship on the big soci...

Re: The social justice wars
What does the anti-SJW movement fundamentally object to? A political correctness that forces everyone to refrain from making comments deemed to be offensive. That's correct. And this doesn't mean they are being "hostile". They want to be able to speak the truth. Speaking the truth isn't &...

Re: The social justice wars
Men need to stop being hostile towards women I don't believe men are hostile to women, so I think your whole argument is based on a false presumption. That some women believe men are hostile to women is meaningless. The anti-SJW movement is never going to succeed in its aims if it continues to trea...

Re: The social justice wars
In my view, the issue of freedom of speech is a first principle. Yet it does not seem to stop you from playing fast and loose with it. Again, you're not making any kind of rational argument. All you're doing is making accusations. Where is your opposition to the widespread censorship and quashing o...

Re: The social justice wars
Some [anti-SJWs], such as Milo, or Ben Shapiro, are right wing and still reasonable on most matters. Define "most matters". Do you just mean criticism of SJWs and support for free speech Yes, those are the main areas in which I agree with them. I've heard them express ideas on climate cha...

This only serves to make men sound even more pathetic. Who is saying that men are brilliant? The fact that men have allowed the world to become as messed-up as it currently is, means that men are not brilliant. They are very foolish and blind. And this is supposed to be the superior sex! "Supe...

Google, as a company, is feminine in nature. It will bend and mold itself to whims of society. They do this very well. I predict they will be around for a long, long time.
