Diverting the thread back to general social justice for a bit, does anyone else get the impression that some people become addicted to social justice the way some people become addicted to gambling or alcohol? For example, Anthony Burch is known for never shutting about about how awesome he is for being progressive. But his web show "Hey Ash, Whatchu Playin'?" once had a bit with a woman being beaten which suggests that he wasn't always like that.

That's actually a very good point. I think many of the younger people in particular who were practically born with a cell phone in their hand get addicted to the instant recognition and praise they receive if they say the "right" thing. Not to mention, they've never really known life without some form of high-speed technology. I also feel that this is why social skills in today's youth have gone to hell in a hand basket. They don't have to actually talk to people and learn that it's okay to have different points of view. The internet is full of hugboxes for nearly everyone imaginable that they can enter whenever they feel "triggered" by stuff that people born only a decade before them would have shrugged off at the same age. Emotional maturity is SO 90s, guys!
Here's a post I made in the Jazz Jennings thread about this very thing a few months ago. This sums it up well enough so I don't have to do another wall of text.
I feel like the irony in all of this is that the more "progressive" we become as a society, the more intolerant we become of ANYONE who doesn't fit into a certain demographic, say the right things, or in any way have a different opinion from that of the status quo as it stands now. And I really do think that social media is screwing kids up, way more so than what people used to say about TV's effect on our generation.

It's also sad to be the last generation raised without the internet to see how it's corrupting our youth. I remember my youth fondly and learned how to grow past those hurdles. Apparently that's not possible now and we're seeing the affects of that before our eyes and it's dangerous.

I don’t know if I mentioned this before but unlike troglodytes on tumblr and Twitter, people can separate their personal beliefs from their entertainment. Most of them want a good story, not to larp as freedom fighters or to base their lifestyle on their media. So most people would meet this post with a firm “Fuck off”.
And if she thinks people “shrivel” behind “violence is never the answer”, then what exactly does she think violence has solved in the past week?

Someone should talk to the people who write the DSM, try to get Internet Asspat Addiction recognized as a legitimate mental illness.

Systemic racism.
Or, as the rest of the world would call it,
Racism + poverty.
Everybody is talking about racism, no one is trying to help those black communities rise out of poverty. I wonder why...

I think this is the end-result of their "everything is political" mentality towards pop-culture. To them, every story of good-vs-evil translates to Democrats (good) vs. Republicans (evil). And since they think they're the heroes of some great big story that is Real Life, they feel compelled act upon their delusional worldview to defeat the "bad guys." They're so utterly incapable of separating fiction from reality, they think fiction is how you're "supposed" to act.
As for what "violence has solved" over the past week, I'll take MLK's answer on that: FUCKING NOTHING.

I think there should be some type of comprehensive study done of this addiction if there hasn't been one already. In all seriousness, I truly believe that this is a real thing.
Obviously, since the widespread use of the internet in the 90s, people have used it to get all sorts of attention and credit via the anonymity of the keyboard. But internet capabilities were very limited and there was little scandal. Most middle class families didn't have or need computers, let alone internet access. If you wanted real attention, there were other ways to get it without fucking with the notoriously slow (even back then, people bitched about it) dial-up speed and whatnot. And even if you were caught in a lie online, what could anyone do to you? Unless you were distributing child porn or something, the police couldn't really do anything except *maybe* give you a warning. The concept of online crime was not a thing in the least. Hell, I was in high school (or maybe just out of it) when the term cyber-bullying was first coined, and that usually took the form of emails since there was no social media as we know it now.
Now, we can use the internet to find out anything about anyone at anytime, whether it's good, bad or indifferent. There's no real privacy anymore. Anything you post online can be used against you by Tumblrinas. Since young people have grown up not knowing any other way of life, the fear of being Doxxed™ online is the modern day equivalent of what someone spreading a rumor around school meant to us. I feel like it's partly this fear of being "exposed" at any moment that leads some of these people to constantly post and regurgitate whatever the internet cause du jour lest they post something that isn't woke and get excommunicated from the internet which (sadly) is their livelihood. Posting the right opinion at the right time earns them woke points. If they earn enough woke points, they win the grand prize of Temporary Validation™. They continue to play this sordid game show until they get dethroned by a new champ a few days later who is even MORE woke.
Then of course, there are the ones who are just special snowflakes whose parents never tell them they're wrong and have internet access on top of it. Never a good combination.

What happened to "my opinions do not represent the opinions of my employer"? Does no one do that anymore?
I agree with the post but I wanted to mention this in particular: thankfully, anything you post online can also end up in the KiwiFarms.

That is what rational people already think unless its a high level management (e.g. CEO/president) who normally are talking for the company anyways. But SJWs tend to not be rational.
But Cick-fil-a is just saying the standard "You can say what you want as long as its not linked back to us (e.g. "I work for x and I say y" type deal)" social media policies.

Inb4 someone involved in this scene/movie comes out in favour of Justice for George Floyd, and woke speds on twitter quote mine him to say "See, even the guy who made that clip backs us, LOL OWNED!" .

On the bright side, considering the previous nontroversies Chick-Fil-a was involved with, I don't think they'll lose a single customer for that. The woke crowd already hated them.

What the fuck happened to you Gerry Conway?
I’d also like to point out that the Punisher and his trademarks are owned by Marvel, who’s owned by Disney. Unless BLM has Swiss bank accounts a fundraising project would be pointless. Though, why Punisher; Captain America and Spider-Man are already symbols of justice.
Based Chick-Fil-A.

"We believe that your life matters in terms of existence. Didn't say anything about your livelihood or other rights though, nazi scum!"-These people, probably.
