Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

[Shaka Brah]

For context, Shinzo Abe (the current Prime Minister) is apparently controversial.

Well he demanded that they let in 1-3 million low-IQ Pakistanis at the request of Israel, so I can see why Japanese people would hate him.

He's a DailyKos regular contributor who recently made this rant about billionaires:

Naturally, he idolizes AOC, has severe TDS, and thinks democratic socialism will save the world.

These journalists are still ragging on the Religious Right?

2004 called. They want their political opposition back.

I hated the fundies as much as the next guy, but they've also not been relevant at all in almost a decade and a half. Now most of the relevance that the Religious Right has nowadays is one that's mostly retrospective.

The closest thing we have to a Religious Right these days are elderly Boomer incumbents in the Bible Belt and traditionalist faggots like Nick Fuentes who are largely seen as a pathetic joke to most of the right these days, and all of the centrists as well.

The Religious Right were one of the major reasons why the SJW craze of the 2010's began. The other cause was the corruption of academia. Combine the Millennials having a deep resentment of the Religious Right's moral bullshit with them going to college en masse more than any other generation and you got the woke malaise of the last seven years or so.



From what I understand, this group is kind of like those communist fringe parties that we had in the United States in the post-Cold War/pre-Recession era, where they existed and they were out there, but were fringe parties that were seen as a joke and probably couldn't win an election for county dogcatcher or Miss Hawaiian Tropic.

Someone else mentioned that here is a Japanese Communist Party that is larger than this group but is less radical and woke than these guys, and from what I can tell, they seem to be more like the Japanese equivalent of the Green Party here in the United States, a left-wing party that's sort of minor but also isn't totally fringe either.

Makes me wonder how much longer before SJWs meet the same fate and become convenient punching bags for the media as well.

Probably never, unless they decide to oppose porn or some other pet cause of the establishment.

I have no doubt when the pendulum swings back too far in the other direction, the SJW's will be the next dead horse to be flogged. Looking back on some of the old media and statements that the religious right made in the 80's and 90's, the fundies would often bemoan the hippies and the New Left of the 60's and 70's in a similar fashion as the SJW's do with the Religious Right today.

Dunno, but the religous right was an easy target because they were mostly anti pop-culture and anti hollywood , so it's easier to attack those who don't consume your media anyways.

 

[Syaoran Li]

Everyone likes to go all doomer and think the SJW's will be around forever, but they're useful idiots for the neoliberal establishment, just like the old Religious Right were for the neocons back in the day.

Once the Religious Right went too far off the deep end and alienated too many people to the point of no longer being politically expedient, the establishment discarded them for good, fully cutting the line around the time of the Great Recession.

The SJW's are reaching a similar point now if they haven't reached it already, and it looks like COVID-19 is far more serious than the 2008 Recession.

And I do think the SJW's will slip up and go after porn full tilt. They kind of came close to it in the early days with Anita's crusade against attractive video game characters in 2012-2014, and there's still rants about fanservice in anime and games to this day, with anime being singled out in particular, just like how heavy metal and rock music were often singled out during the Satanic Panic more than other genres.

Right now, they're content with only attacking straight male sexuality and you've also got the whiny "traditionalist" faggots like Nick Fuentes going after porn, so they back it out of spite.

But the SJW's can slip up and go after gay men or even just non-troons, and slip up.

Or the SJW's can fuck up some other way and end up creating martyrs like the Religious Right did with the West Memphis Three.

Alec Holowa might arguably be remembered as that in the long run, as could the Covington Catholic Boys. If Rose City Antifa or one of the other Torch Network gangs does end up killing Andy Ngo, they will definitely have created a martyr.

As it is, the SJW's have become too difficult to control and are tearing themselves up with infighting more than ever, and with the ongoing pandemic and a growing cultural backlash that was happening even before said pandemic, the establishment is probably going to cut the line sooner or later.

Dunno, but the religous right was an easy target because they were mostly anti pop-culture and anti hollywood , so it's easier to attack those who don't consume your media anyways.

The SJW's don't consume the media all that much either, barring a few exceptions like the MCU or Steven Universe, and are mostly anti-pop culture when you go past the surface level, but are more covert about it than the Religious Right were.

They also oppose these things from an entirely different angle.

Really? Here I was thinking he was as traditionalist as you can get without being an extremist. Either way, its weird how Japan’s controversial looks tame compared to our controversial. This is just from an outsider looking in, mind, so maybe Abe Derangement Syndrome is a thing there.

Abe is just a normal neocon/neolib type. The controversy is often over the fact that Japan is insanely nationalist and has a visceral ethnic hatred of globalism. Politically he's Bush but slant-eyed.

If she’s so worried about housing, and she says she’s Anishinaabe, she should be able to claim stake in a reservation. That said though, she looks about as native as Elizabeth Warren. As one user said before, she’s probably closer to being Gaelic.

I'd genuinly like to be a fly on the wall at the council meeting where she asks for that claim, especially when she realizes native Americans are normal human beings and not magic nature warriors.

Runs-from-work should embrace her Celtic heritidge as "butain sylw diog" then come to ireland, scotland or wales, unlike the first nations we're quite happy to indulge Americans flights of fancy as long as they have money.

Hey Ivy, want to know a tip? Many people that have disabilities are able to work remotely, thanks to the internet. You clearly are able to access Twitter any time you want, so you should be able to make a resume and apply to work somewhere that has the option of working remotely. That way, you can earn more money and get a place of your own. There are people with ALS that manage to find work. You have no excuse.

For real. I know a quadriplegic in a motor chair that can’t properly use her hands that still works a simple computer job from home.

Pretty much. The only ones I've met in recent years that were under the age of 50 was this woman who's a Jehovah's Witness that moved into my neighborhood and some of the traditionalists on this forum, and most of those guys are probably just edgy LARP'ers.

The closest thing we have to fundies that are still active and visible in the "Current Year" culture war BS are Nick Fuentes, Vox Day, and whatever is left of the Westboro Baptist Church, and all of them are pathetic lolcows who have no real influence anywhere and are widely derided by all ends of the political spectrum. Fuentes and Teddy even have their own threads here on the Farms.

Even the WBC stopped being the big MSM boogeyman and quickly became ignored after Fred Phelps died in 2014.

Westboro Baptist was never relevant except as controlled opposition. It's a freak show of like 20-40 people, most of whom are related, in a bumfuck town nobody had heard of before the media decided to start giving them international attention. As far as I know, they had no outside funding whatsoever. The alt right "threat" may be trumped up, but it has nothing on how trumped up WBC was.

If anything, WBC was used as a bludgeon to destroy the more mainstream religious right.

Pretty much this. It was very much a trumped-up non-entity, especially when Fred Phelps was in charge.

Looking back, I think that Fred Phelps himself was specifically used as the controlled opposition and may have been in on the whole thing in exchange for money and publicity, especially when it comes to his past in the Civil Rights Movement and his ties to the Democratic Party before the mid-90's and the fact that WBC never officially associated with any political party after that. Fred was a showman and an attention whore shyster who loved money and publicity.

His church was founded in 1955 but did not engage in any protests or active anti-gay rhetoric until 1991, over thirty-five years later.

There's also the fact that after he died and his church was taken over by a true believer and one of the few people who wasn't part of the Phelps Family, the media completely ignored them and they quickly faded into irrelevance.

It's no surprise that the WBC is being ignored now. The religious right, as has already been said, are basically politically dead. Muh Neo-Nazis are where it's at when it comes to a controlled opposition boogieman.

I believe the story Fred or one of his family members told is that he read some news story in '91 about teh gays and then started on the track we all know about today. I think it might've been a case of little boys getting molested or something along those lines.

Whether Fred Phelps was a plant or not, we'll never know, although if he was that's pretty fucked up because it would mean he either brainwashed his own family into believing something he thought was bullshit, or convinced them to live a lie that made them internationally hated.

Abe Derangement Syndrome is huge amongst certain aspects of Japanese society. Go find any Japanese leftist/LGBTQIAP activist's Twitter and there's tons of screeching about the man. And usually also Trump too since the majority of these people are mixed race, grew up in the US, or otherwise have spent significant amounts of time in the US (or occasionally Europe).

This is because despite being an even bigger neocon than Neocon Don, Abe will pay lip service to nationalism and holds some traditional views which in the progressive age of Current Year is now a horrible thing. You'd think Abe was Tojo 2.0 by the way people talk about him.

Uh huh... So what you're saying is that I should take that "We're not a political group" at face value? I suppose the very real threat of a communistic take-over has me a little paranoid then. In the clown world we live in, a bunch of innocent Soviet Union otaku garners the same sense of fear and dread as a professor trying to indoctrinate his classroom. Still, it might be worth keeping an eye on since we'll never know when these groups might gain sudden and unexpected power like the modern left has in the West.

Damn it, I long for the days when the only time you would see hammer and sickle iconography was in a video game...

Nah, what I'm saying is that they're a political fringe group and unless some huge unexpected black swan event happens, I doubt they'll get that far. Japan has a very different culture, social environment, and political history than the United States or Europe. COVID-19 is a black swan event in and of itself, but not the kind that could lead to a commie or far-left takeover of Japan unless something else happens down the line in its aftermath.

The main reason why the modern Left in the West came about and got as bad as they did was due to the perfect storm conditions of a heavily corrupt and compromised higher education system, the rise and fall of the Religious Right, and an entire generation being rendered into a dysfunctional non-starter mess by a major recession right around the time they were reaching adulthood and entering the workforce en masse.

That same generation was also the one that had the most college education of any generation, and mostly in the fields that were the most compromised by the far left, and many of them also had a huge chip on their shoulder thanks to the Religious Right and their neocon handlers.

Those same neocons who would use the Religious Right as their toadies were also the ones most responsible for the Patriot Act and the total geopolitical clusterfuck that was the War On Terror.

Japan had minimal involvement in the War on Terror, had already weathered a previous major recession during the Lost Decade in the 90's, and the Religious Right has never had any cultural presence in Japan, not even as a form of controlled opposition.

The SJW Zeitgeist is very much a Western phenomenon, and the form it took in America was a perfect storm moment that just couldn't be replicated intentionally.

"We're not a political group" in this context sounds like the political version of those "I do not own this content" disclaimers that were really popular with Youtubers who uploaded whole TV show episodes and movies back in the day.

It should also be noted that Japanese society has had almost no infiltration. At every level, from the lowest janitor to the highest CEO, nearly every person there is of ethnic Japanese descent and has at least some loyalty to the Japanese ethnic interest. They do have a small Jewish community that shills LGBT and unlimited black immigration, but they're regularly mocked and essentially kept in the American ghetto in Tokyo where Japanese don't need to listen to them.

Compared to America, if a Black Swan event happened there the Japanese would quickly return to some variant of Imperial rule with a military parliament like they had before America got involved, just because it's simpler for everyone. Life would return to normal with the Japanese simply disregarding the rest of the world and moving on.
