@Cocktimus prime True, then again what's the best case scenario for Sargon? Let's say he "takes the mantle" and attempts to whip his followers into activists. Can they really undo the damage over the past few years? Isn't it too late? At this point it obviously seems like a ego & money grab.
Same with Damore. I like his moxie for standing up for his principles against Google, but his lawsuit won't change them or the thousands of indoctrinated people they hand picked for employment. He'll make some settlement shekels for it and do victory laps around the media circuit, but that's it. Back to our regular scheduled shitshow as we keep our heads low.
Damore is going to lose. No way he can win that lawsuit in California simply based on the politics there.
I don't think Sargon's motives are so base and manipulative. We have a tendency here, constantly raking people over the coals, to make them out to be the bad guy. That's going too far with Sargon. He says what he believes, as dull and unremarkable as it is, and he doesn't need to find a fake issue to be concerned about because he is talking about important things, just things he could never change. I guess if you argue that enough people talk about how stupid this social justice shit is, the more younger people will grow up in that milieu and be inoculated to the brain infection, but honestly, the people shaping the next generations thoughts are the social justice people. They're the college/school administrators, HR goons, organizational bureaucrats, narcissists with a holier-than-thou outlook.
He's not looking for a cult. He's just a guy with an overinflated sense of how important his pop political philosophy is. That doesn't mean he's wrong about everything or even most things, he just completely lacks nuance and sophistication just like most of these other youtubers. Everyone searches for meaning and purpose in their life, and fighting social justice goons is just how Sargon does it. That's his motivation.
These "skeptics" and youtube "thinkers" (to use that word losely) have no idea of the doom that's coming to their ideas, no matter how right they are. They are optimists, they believe that rational discourse and conversation changes things. They're wrong. Sometimes rational thought wins out, but usually it's just whomever wins the way. The founding of the USA may be in some ways be an anomaly, the revolution being a product of the perception of the colonies of being squeezed too hard by England, with the right sort of intellectual undercurrent in that time. Not too much longer later, you had the disaster of the French Revolution, you get bomb-throwing anarchists and Nazis and literal Fascists and Bolsheviks and so on and so forth. History doesn't show that merely being right or having a great idea is what it takes to win. Blasphemy has been punished with death for thousands of years. Being right didn't save Socrates. Even if all of their ideas are right and sound, the SJWs are communications majors and media hipsters and some teachers and such. They're the people working with emotion, using shame, fear, and the sense of belonging and the desire to be liked by others as their weapons.
They can sit and fight out in straight, orderly rows all they want. The other side is using guerrilla warfare tactics. Good luck with that guys.
