Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

[Lazuli]

SJW's are basically default for people under 30 here. I moved from bumfuck nowhere, living in poverty to one of the most Liberal cities in the country. Now I can't enjoy any hobbies or enter social groups without running into the people who went to some of the best schools in the country, that have everything in life paid for by their parents or some cushy job they got, spouting lines verbatim from Buzzfeed articles and blogs about how privileged I am as a straight white man. And if you actually make a point they can't refute, they actually come back in a few days to continue the argument, because they had to find the retort on a blog somewhere to memorize. And they aren't even good refutations either, they'll use something to weasel out of the argument, just a way of them to claim a small "win".

People will lose their shit at you if you look like a girl and sound like a girl but you referred to them as 'she'. And never EVER talk about Transexuality as being weird, or that they look weird or that they might have some other issues that need to be explored because Transgenderism isn't even fully accepted as a scientific theory due to the unbelieveably small research and sample sizes. That's like saying you want to round them up gas them here.

And it's not just layabouts that follow these sorts of ideas here. Anyone who has a degree and a job is likely to be pro-trans, kill-trump, pro-communism, etc etc.... They don't offer any solutions, they are just about complaining. One professional girl I know ranted for paragraphs on her blog about stopping at the side of the road because her car broke down, and some man offered to stop and help. About how her independence and authority was being undermined for being a Woman, (she is also 4"11 and was once pulled over for looking like she was an underaged joy rider). And how her last career failed because it was a boys club, and not because she may have been crappy at it. (She is pretty unbearable to be around, and an alcoholic) She has multiple degrees and probably has made more money than I ever will in my entire life and she acts like shes constantly oppressed?

I just can't talk to anyone here for any length of time until I hear some sort of retarded complaints from people about things that don't even matter or exist.

That's why the right is winning right now, they may be troglodytes, but they at least are sociable ones.

And moderate people, given a choice, gravitate towards uncouth people who offer them beers over strident self-righteous ones who blame them for making their lives difficult because they won't acknowledge their privilege.

It sounds to me more like the moderates are caught between a rock and a hard place.

 

[TowinKarz]

It really does say something that instead of seeing this as a warning to tone down their rhetoric (guys, we're making racist rednecks look good) they're choosing to double-down (We'll have keep beating them down until they accept us)

They can scream and rant all they want, but the only thing that'll get the left back in power is if the right fucks up badly.

And considering what's going on with health care now, that's a legitimate possibility.

If the left is to survive, we must become less couth-y.

Funnily enough:

couth (adj.): cultured, refined and well mannered. (n.): good manners; refinement.

Does this seem like your modern Tumblr left to you?

Okay i have two classes with this girl who is just annoying. She identify as a non binary female, have short dyed hair and the only thing she talk about is Steven universe. And spend all her time in class on tumblr.

The other week in class, the class was just chilling and there is this one girl in our class who is not from the US aand was talking about how she likes the US better than her home country dispite the fact that she doesn't wanna move here. Miss femaleNonbinery was trying to tell her that she was wrong that she thinks that bc trump and basically said only cis white men votes counts, not realizing how sexist and racist her own comment was. Later on that night some of the kids was making trigger warning jokes and she was getting upset about it.

Me being the shit I am encourage it because Im just really tired of her bullshit.

More things my sociology professor has done:

Said that the United States needs to become socialist because all of the "happiest countries" are socialist.

Said that it's unfair for "rich" white people to spend money on entertainment, concerts, movies, restaurants, etc. while poor people starve and struggle to provide for their children, so the rich people need to be sharing their wealth with the non-privileged. She said this while standing at the front of the room with $2000 worth of tattoo sleeves on her arms. I bet that money could have fed some children, hmmmm?

Asks for class participation, completely dismisses anyone who is white and not saying anything about how terrible they feel about being white. She'll just kind of stare at them with a sour face and then go "Mm, ok" when they're done talking.

I swear to fucking god. I could scroll Tumblr for two hours and get the entire course's worth of "information " in those two hours, in the comfort of my own home, with the freedom to roll my eyes and loudly scoff as much as I want. But I've got to turn up to this cunt's class because attendance is mandatory.

Speak to the department head, or the dean. Gather evidence of her behavior--video tape it or record it.

Unfortunately my school is very liberal. People got arrested "protesting" after Trump won, if Milo Yannawhatever came to campus there would be a full-on riot. Girls sit in the student commons with signs around Halloween with lists of "racist" Halloween costumes on them.
Considering that I am white and privileged, and my school is very heavy-handed with the "LOOK AT OUR DIVERSITY", I don't think anything would get done. Her behavior isn't uncommon. It's just incredibly frustrating that I have to waste my time with her in order to graduate (I need the credits).

Wear a kimono with Indian war paint and dreadlocks for graduation. Look her in the eyes from the stage when you receive your diploma and slowly nod while breaking into a wide grin. Assert your dominance.

That's how all of these people are. I'm perfectly willing to acknowledge that being a white man gets me some privilege, but why should I acknowledge any of it to the spoiled children who will never know hunger, or pay rent, or not have whatever toy and extravagance they want?

I think the whole privilege/intersectionality/progressive stack is a load of bunk, and here's why. It works on a simple idea that someone is at the top, and others are beneath in rankings. It doesn't explore "privilege" past the point of the most shallow surface level, simply because its about sticking it to the white man, and automatically assuming every white man is apparently decendant from slave owners, and who are well connected and have a trust fund and Daddy to get them out of any and all trouble.

For example, if I am a white man I am less likely to get racially profiled. But at the same time, I'm less likely to have the media and the public on side if I am even accused of committing a crime. And if I am a white man in poverty, will have no privilege next to a world famous, multimillionaire black rapper. I think every race, class and sex has their own perks and pitfalls, and trying to "fix" society some way, through this, is basically an impossibility, because of human nature. Like an autist trying to find the final number in pi. It's like the idea of communism gone to the extreme.

They're describing themselves when they take this attitude.

You're right, privilege is basically a simple scorecard, and the importance they place on it trivializes, otherizes, and segregates anyone who doesn't defer to their narrative.

My family has only been in this country since the turn of the century, and I still have had people accuse my ancestors of owning slaves. I mean, if you think about it, there's a good chance we're all descended from slaves and slave owners, considering that human slavery was incredibly common across the world throughout much of humanity's history.

I told a sjw once that my family is Jewish came here in 1937 and lived in New York and their response was "doesn't matter, you're white so you're responsible for slavery."

You absolutely cannot win with these people.
