Is the SJW movement dying?

No.
Like all political things, they are just changing with the new radicals leading the charge and the more conservative ones staying in the back making their gains more stable. Like the hippies they will be welcomed into the state and establishment. Expect these people to be ruling over you.

Let's not forget they are with the establishment, have attended universities etc and have political aspirations and possibly business and other elite backing ie. media.
 
What? I thought they were underprivileged and neglected by society.
In a way they are. You can make loyal people if you uplift people who would have never made it there on their own. They will know that they got their rank thanks to you.

Kinda like Leninism preferred the peasants and low middle class administrative people when they formed their elites in socialist countries.

If you want to look at it this cynically.
 
The SJW movement isn't dying per se, but at the same time it's not really achieving anything. Some SJWs are too busy fighting each other over who is the most oppressed (aka who has the golden voice), while others are hard at work inventing new genders with which to undermine the seriousness of their message.

The "movement" a disorganized mess, but as long as there are weak-willed men and women/minorities who want free shit, there will be SJWs.

Anecdotally speaking, some of my more liberal friends who used to sympathize with common SJW talking points are growing jaded and disillusioned with the current Democratic Party as a whole, and now distance themselves from being labeled as a “liberal”, despite them still holding mostly socially-liberal ideologies.

SJW’s have made “liberal” a dirty word in the minds of the general public, and they’re the ones responsible for the inevitable pendulum swinging back to conservatism across the Western world.

They're succeeding everywhere, even the USA.

In every other country they're getting the government to do shit. In the USA they're using the corporations and private institutions.

Even the ACLU has given up on actually defending free expression when somebody gets in trouble for pissing off sjws.
 
China doesn't seem to see it their way and see them as folks who are hypocritically "obsessed with political correctness" in order to "satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority" motivated from an "ignorant and arrogant" Western-centric worldview who "pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours".

There will also be slackers, cynics, suicidal teens, high school drop outs or folks that never grew out of their teens.

They invented the tactic of harassing people to get them fired, harassing advertisers to get shows cancelled, and other shit SJWs now constantly do.

Sadly, while the SJWs themselves will eventually die off, at least in their current form, the tactics are still going to be used by assholes of all stripes.
This description really does just play into my theory that the modern day SJW is nothing more but the offspring of the hyperchristian, conservative pearl clutching soccermoms of yesteryear from the Satanic Panic to the Bush Era. I hold the belief that what made the garden variety of SJW is that in their bid for independence from their parents, they took it upon themselves to be as far-left from them as they possibly could just to spite them. They only trait they maintained from their parents is that they're still the same unlikable, shrill, annoying, killjoy douchebags as them.

The only saving grace is that most SJWs in this generation in general have already made it clear that they're most likely going to live their lives childless, so hopefully we won't have as huge of a chance of these schools of thought continuing nor swinging too far to the other side like they themselves did.
 
I wouldn't say that they are exactly dying out yet, but it seems that they are starting to lose their appeal in the eyes of the common man. More radical and insane their demands become, more the common people are starting to think that "enough is enough, this shit is not funny anymore". I recently saw the movie Solo, and it was interesting to notice that the only obviously SJW-analogue character in the movie, the political droid rights activist, was actually viewed as irritating piece of shit by the other characters. Lando even claims that he would've erased the droids personality if it didn't possess so good map software. Well, it's just a movie, but since it's a movie made for very large audiences, it indicates somewhat how the average joe feels about the SJW's nowadays. Just like the hippies and academic communists before them, SJW's will not be the end of the West as we know it. At the end of the day, they are just one more tired joke like their predecessors, relegated to the status of being a comical stereotype to be laughed at.
 
I think so. I've noticed that a lot of SJWs tend to be college students (at least that's my observation), or people in their 20s. I remember when I first went to college, granted this was 20 years ago, while I was certainly not a SJW, I remember all of a sudden becoming more politically aware and kind of shocked about what was going on in the world. Fortunately, I mellowed out. Hopefully, these kids'll do the same.*
I think part of the problem is that this is the generation raised by helicopter parents, so many of them were never really told that "life isn't fair." Or that you're not going to be friends with everyone you meet. Neither one has anything to do with liberal or conservative -- it's all about how you approach them.

Sooooo, I'll be optimistic here, and say that I hope they'll learn that you have to pick and choose your battles, and that if you get mad over every little thing you'll just end up giving yourself a heart attack before you're forty. Ask yourself, is it WORTH my time? Especially stop arguing on social media all the time, unless it's just for amusements sake.

(The only thing that gives me pause is that these jagoffs are giving the left a bad name. Please, we're not all like that. The kind of social justice I care about is like, seeing that people aren't starving on the streets, or little kids get a decent education, etc)




*Fuck, now I'm turning into "kids these days." Get off my lawn.
 
You know what they say, "things only get worse before it gets better"?

That's what I feel is going to happen with the SJW movement already. I mean it's a shithole as it is, but there's only one way it can go, and that is down. I don't think we've even seen the bottom of the barrel yet.
It's only going to be the point where your everyday normie literally can't avoid them or stay on the fence anymore when it'll start dying down.

It was made of losers screaming about who the biggest loser is, it was destined to fail. If anything, it's responsible for the resurgence of nationalism and actual white supremacy. All they did was empower their enemies and degrade their pet minorities into objects and numbers.

Wasn't Tony Halme a Neo Nazi or at least held certain similar views?

On topic, no, the movement isn't going to die any time soon. It will probably wane in intensity when either people start realising it's causing more harm than good or, terrifyingly, it becomes the new norm.
 
It's not dying. Just look at the front page of the BBC website and you'll find 4 or 5 articles pushing that agenda to varying degrees of subtlety. Let's have a look at today's:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/45766576 - "Scientists condemn "Sexist" professor"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/disability-45601646 - "What's different about the people in these posters?" (Someone takes pictures of disabled people, this is front page worthy apparently)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-45739335 - "Don't shoot, I'm disabled"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-45729791/students-union-swaps-clapping-for-jazz-hands - "Swapping clapping for Jazz Hands" (idiot university students decide applause is triggering)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-45770028 - "Banksy artwork shreds itself after sale" (The BBC's continuing obsession with this talentless narcissist continues)

However, what is dying is their reach. The age of social media means that people can choose who or what they listen to. You can simply mute the screeching, and as these people are by and large way too lazy to move from behind their keyboards. I think people are much more aware of the biases in MSM, and even though I am not really a Trump fan, I will give him credit for raising the issue to public awareness and striking a blow for diversity of expression. The SJWs are of course partly to blame for their own problems, because these echochambers and hugboxes are largely of their own making. I don't think they'll die, but they may become more of a fringe group, even as they infiltrate the media, because the trend long-term is for the old media to die off. Then they'll just be left virtue-signalling to each other on Twitter, forever.
 
Dying? Not in the slightest, if anything they still hold the upper hand in a large swathe of western politics.

Are they at long-term risk of suppression? Most certainly.

I'll preface this with my own political bent, which of course does affect my view. I've always considered myself to be center left by the European model, I am all for state ran services like universal healthcare and welfare payments, and when it comes to social ethics up until about ten years ago I would have considered myself to be fairly liberal. I'm for gay marriage, pro-choice etc; however I don't subscribe to modern gender theory, transgenderism for toddlers or that there should be gender exclusive spaces.

That last part makes you socially far right in mainstream parlance in western Europe these days. Gender exclusive spaces are "needed" by the easily triggered and the religious (usually Muslims, though not always) alike, suggesting children crossdressing or doing drag at school is not a good idea has got several people sacked in the past year across Europe etc.

This hasn't changed what people seem to believe in, only who they vote for. I do believe in what a good few left wing politicians preach in regards to economics, but their insane social policies have very often led people like me to vote increasingly right wing. France is the foremost example of this, they've always been more right wing than the rest of Europe but nobody here could have seen the National Rally (until recently known as the National Front) at the final stage of the presidential election five years ago, let alone when Marianne took over from her "Gas the Kikes, race war now!" father. More disconcerting in the long term, the next in line to succession after here is her niece; a ultra devout Catholic who ironically considers the Pope a communist and has been caught by journalists a couple of times behind closed doors of opinions on the need to gas the gays, non Catholics are enemies of Western culture, Blacks are animals etc (needless to say they don't think very highly of healthcare, social security or anything like that either).

What has troubled me in the long term though is that this is starting to be percived as a worthy sacrifice, just to be rid of the SJW's, Black Lives Matter-esque groups and the socially far left. Very few National Front voters last time here could be said to be fully aligned with the policies of the National Rally, they're just seen as preferable to fat genderfluid anti-Zionist lesbians screeching about how everything is rape or racist in the EU Parliment.

I don't think SJW'ism is dying, I think Liberalism is at risk of a violent murder in several years hence if they keep this shit up. I couldn't vote for the National Rally for instance, but for many "Normies"; Alternative for Germany, the Rally and other like minded organizations are becoming the mainstream opposition where they would have been one man organizations even just ten years ago.

Many were either too young or mentally ill to guide their movement. They'd get mad over a white chicks wearing braids, mis-gendering low effort trans-sexuals (very obvious'' troons'') and some girl showing up to her prom in a Chinese kimono. Most of their outage was entirely on social media or on campuses. This was a movement of very poor organization and no proper momentum. Why was the SJW's when it came to child poverty, senior poverty or sexual assaults on disabled women in long term care homes (an actual epidemic)?
