Ex-SJWs

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

I was (and still am) a super lefty peace and eco loving type from way before sjws were a thing. What shocked me most about the sjw culture is how very fucking dictatorial it is. They're the first to scream about society's (often unwritten) rules being oppressive, yet they're the first to draw up massive lists of rules to follow if you want to be 'woke'. And 'woke' is always a competition. The best way to claw your way to the top in the woke fight is to smirkingly argue against someone who's already considered woke, taking their point and making up some ridiculous social engineering excuse as to why the opposite is actually more woke. The whole sjw system relies on public renunciation, essentially being forced to publicly confess your 'sins' and label yourself racist, sexist or whatever. The scramble to the top of the sjw pile means ensuring all the people more woke than you are forced into a public renunciation and you're not. Of course, there's always someone trying to catch you out in the slightest mistake...

There's also the attitude that anyone who isn't sufficiently woke can be safely ignored, and should be denied a voice publicly, shouldn't be allowed to vote or work, and should be shunned by family, friends and society alike. Curious that this behaviour is exactly what sjws claim society does to them, and they're quick to point out how it apparently kills thousands of them every day. When you ask them what they'd do about the vaguely racist old guy next door, who's disabled and living on a small pension, or the single mother over the road who has three kids and is streetwalking just to pay her rent but believes immigration should be stopped, or the teenagers down the street who dropped out of school and spend all day smoking weed and breaking into houses... No answer. Anyone who doesn't subscribe to sjw beliefs should be utterly deplatformed, but the majority of those people are the majority of people. Most social and societal problems involve those who aren't 'woke'. The sjw answer seems to be to force everyone into spouting sjw mantra, or fuck off. If that isn't a form of political extremism I dunno what is.

I'm still just a grumpy old lefty. I love Kiwi Farms because it gives everyone a place to talk, and doesn't ban people for their beliefs (only if you act like a fuggin' asshole towards everyone else). There are plenty of political beliefs written on the Farms that I don't agree with, but there are plenty of people in meatspace whose politics I don't agree with. So fuckin' what? You learn to get along with people and avoid talking about things that upset or aggravate them. It's one of the basic skills of being a functional adult. Sjw shit is childish mob pressure and no-one, an individual or a company, should be kowtowing to such bullying - because bullying is what it is.

You know that whole "egg hatching" bullshit troons do? I was one such egg at one point. They tried to do their bullshit on me when I was in highschool back in the early 2000's when the tranny shit was really first starting to get its legs.

Thankfully it never took to me. Outside of some stupid teenage awkwardness where I still wasn't sure of my own identity, I never fully committed to the nonsense. Never took the hormones or actually dressed up or anything like that. I always kinda felt like it was really stupid any time I ever gave it any amount of thought or tried to do any of those things. However this did give me a certain sense of disgust with the troon crowd for basically trying to "prey" upon an awkward teenager like myself and many others. Said disgust soon spread to the SJW crowd for defending those lunatics. It's only further grown with them trying to force it on kids now.

It's why I'm here now, I love seeing those fuckers get called out.

There’s probably more people with the same story as me. American growing up in a post 9-11 country. During Bush I made fun of religious conservatives. Under Obama I went to protests and wrote to Congress about Gitmo. Most of my life I would consider myself very liberal. Now I see myself as conservative. A big catalyst for me was the election of Donald Trump. The riots and people being hysterical showed me a crowd I would never want to associate with. I don’t think I changed, everybody else did. I never experienced a huge fallout with my still liberal friends because when you’re not only interacting online it’s harder to screech at them for wrong think, and see them as people with their own opinion.

Do you think we will see more people leaving these communities as time goes on?

I think people leaving will be replaced by additional idealistic youth finding their place in the world who haven’t settled on who they are and are looking for answers. We all remember this gem:

Internationally I do think there is a push back against far left leaning parties. There are so many “European country is going to elect their version of Donald trump” articles now. But it’ll go back left eventually.

And 'woke' is always a competition. The best way to claw your way to the top in the woke fight is to smirkingly argue against someone who's already considered woke, taking their point and making up some ridiculous social engineering excuse as to why the opposite is actually more woke.

An article I read about living in a Islamic Fundamentalist community has a lot of parallels to far left SJW culture. People always feared being turned in by their neighbors for not being religious enough and parents would excommunicate their children for crimes such as “liking music.” Somebody else already mentioned the “far left is as bad as the far right” angle. Never go far anything. Luckily for some people here SJW culture is easier to escape and doesn’t involve fleeing the country.

You know that whole "egg hatching" bullshit troons do?

Seeing anything about “egg hatching” actually makes me sick. Bragging about converting people. Like a cult. I know times have changed because people would say “I hate homos cause I don’t want them trying to convert me” and i’d think “that’s ridiculous” but can see people saying that about transpersons and agreeing.

Not really ever a Social Justice Warrior but considering some of the utter arsery they come out with I'm thankful I never went down that rabbit hole.

I will say this though. When I first read The Handmaid's Tale the thing that struck me about it was how in the backstory is was mentioned that Gilead was helped into power by extreme feminists who objected to porn and prostitution because it objectifies women. Fast forward to now and what do I find on shittier news webshites? Why, feminists claiming how they converted to Islam and objecting to burqa and hijab bans because it protects women from being objectified (even though it is effectively a marker in Islam of being a woman and therefore a second class citizen.)

Also, about hatching an egg. Someone I went to school with is now a Tumblr Transtrender. He refers on his blog (which is full of stony artwork involving dickgirls because that's transgressive and thought provoking) to having been in "eggmode" in 2014. Passes fairly well though is clocked once you see the jawline. Lives in Saaahhhf London with girlfriend (who is also, I believe, trans, and chronically ill I'm told, so they must live off a tugboat of some sort). I don't know what contact he has with his family since he was "hatched" but I suspect they VIOLENTLY MURDERED him by asking him to stop and use his loaf before filling himself with hormone tablets. He now counts amongst his friends a cavalcade of other Tumblrinas who all probably have the same life story.

I fell into a social group that was made up of all SJW types without me having any previous experience with people who were aggressively political. Without even really thinking about it before I noticed it I'd ended up caught up in the whole pursuit of ideological purity thing, ran that gauntlet for a few years, ended up stepping back and moving on from the entire social circle (and anybody like them). In the process I think what I've ended up at is this conviction that nobody knows dick fuck all. Anybody who looks at something and says, for example, "I hate this, this pisses me off, I should never have to look at this and fuck everybody who likes this," is always going to run up against a shitload of people who feel the exact opposite way about it. At that point you have two choices, fight about it or move on with your life. SJW culture has taken social policing to an extreme, and revolves around this to a degree that's 100% bullshit, but anybody can be a fucking moron about this kind of behavior if they're not capable of stepping back and figuring out what a good hill to die on actually looks like vs choosing to make any old disagreement into a do-or-die ideological battle. A lot of people could really do with trying to ease up on their control complex and just, you know, break out the popcorn instead.

I skimmed this thread and I didn't see the photo of the girl that had the notorious "DIE CIS SCUM" shirt or something to that effect (bald, purple lipstick, etc.) and then the "current" picture has her hair back (still with the problem glasses but dressed and looking like a normal person). My guess is she still has liberal views, but I have yet to see a troon (one who hasn't completely fucked their body beyond all reasonable repair) return from the brink and go back to "normal".

I think this is why they're so keen on hatching eggs. Because once you've hormoned yourself up and chopped off your dick, they are banking on your former family and friends never wanting anything more to do with you, and the rest of the rat king are the only ones you'll have forevermore.

I guess you could say I used to be a SJW. I did a lot of contract murders for the Clinton Foundation. I never really bought into it completely but when you're a part of that world you just learn to stay quiet and let it go when people say things you don't quite agree with. A lot of my fellow SJWs truly believed we were all about the righteous cause and the right side of history and all that, and it just causes needless trouble and dumb office politics if you argue with them. Better to just clock in, get your list of names, do them and collect your money. It never really bothered me and I enjoyed the lifestyle. Probably what redpilled me against the SJW movement is when Trump won the election and they told us they were dropping our rates to $40 a hit and putting a freeze on all overtime contracts. I still agree with a lot of the fundamental principles of SJWism, but when the FSB is offering $120 per, with double rates for overtime and holidays, it's time to leave that wide-eyed idealistic shit behind you and grow up.

I assume you've seen a lot of people commit suicide with two shots to the back of the head, huh?

You should come work for Monsánto's shill department. It's literally money for old rope. 5 shekels per shitpost, 10 shekels per meme. Best place to sign up is the "GMOLOL" Facebook page.

I used to murder Central American labour agitators on and off for Monsánto back in the day. It was decent money but they were ridiculously anal about micromanaging everything you do in the field. Body chopped into X many pieces, pieces dumped in Y many landfills, etc. etc. It's currently my major gripe with the FSB, always pushing experimental poison compounds and ridiculous hidden-guns-inside-a-camera James Bond shit on you. Say one thing for the Clintons, they at least stayed relatively hands-off when it came to letting you get your work done in whichever way you preferred to do it.

Unsurprisingly, college and tumblr introduced me to the world of SJWism. I was never necessarily an SJW, but I have been in those types of social circles (mainly in WoW and my minor of Gender Studies and yes, I know the jokes). I have never seen people that were so unhappy and nasty in my life and it still baffles me to this day how people get so sucked into it.

Same reason people get sucked into radical Islam, several fundamentalist imams in which have said that mirth, fun, joy, and happiness were sinful because you should always be striving to please God more, and in which they're more than happy to call down anathemas on their fellow fundamentalists on really obscure points. Have a look at the IslamQA thread we have on here, which includes fatwas about, and I shit you not, how to wipe your arse.

I think it's something like this. Person goes off to university and doesn't know anyone, is a bit shy, is a bit depressed or anxious, doesn't really mix well, and is love bombed by current SJWs or Islamists or similar. They are offered belonging, told that their parents are the embodiment of the system, that the rest of the students who are all sociable and nice aren't really friendly because they're problematic / haraam (delete as appropriate). Soon enough, displays of loyalty begin to be required both by and of the new member.

The manosphere works in a similar way.

 

[An Ghost]

but I have yet to see a troon (one who hasn't completely fucked their body beyond all reasonable repair) return from the brink and go back to "normal".

Because those are reasonable people who realized their mistake and reverse direction away from screeching harpy mode. Reasonable people who admit fault do not get threads here.

The manosphere works in a similar way.

Even fucking Wrong Planet works the same way. Internet echo chambers were a mistake.

 

[Dragon Face]

Why did you decide to leave?

I would not say that I suddenly made a decision to leave SJW's zone immediately. It's a low-profile and gradual thing. I happen to grow sick of feeling frustrated in their "so inclusive" space. They're just a bunch of assholes who want to circlejerk about what's the hot topic and leave Deaf people who want to talk about serious legit Deaf issue, out of their circlejerking. If any Deafies try to bring it up in SJW zones, often, we would get dismissed, mocked, berated, or even spread gross misinformation that hurts us even more than good.

So, if they wanna to jerk off to few specific issue but ignores other issue, then forget about those assholes.
I'm tired of walking on their eggshells too. To these days, my art blog still get called out for using words like "dumb" and "queer" it's like they purely only go by the textbook definition rather than the actual context themselves. I can't win this.


Another reason for that, I've been reading some remarkable articles about how much SJWs harms other people and this is where I've come to realization about our including my toxic behavior and that kind of method we've been doing is not going to become a teachable moment for people of the "other side." and I've happen to develop more aloof of other morons over time.

Ironically, after watching "Dear White People" they has pushed me even further out of SJW mindset after what several character has said about other's toxic behavior. I happen to apply that to my SJW experience then got disgusted with where I am at.

What were some of the difficulties you had when you decided to get out?

I try to keep my leave from SJW zone as low-profile as possible. I think the only difficulties I have to deal with the awkwardness when I get dragged into someone's personal SJW-related drama with one old man stranger, who is stubborn, and has no influential power nor importance in this society... I would rather not to waste my time on that cesspool.

Do you think we will see more people leaving these communities as time goes on?

Unfortunately, no. I feel like they are escalating rather rapidly. This doesn't help especially with the extreme polarization political climate going on in this country. This is so depressing.

What sorts of crazy things did you do while you were still into it?

Eh, not really anything too crazy. I was just an asshole arguing with many strangers on Facebook in the comment section. Glad I stopped doing that. I gotta thank one of my friend for being a pest by pissing me off every time he responds to my comment when I attempt to fight with a random stranger. I also have to thank one of my friend, who's a successful man, for criticizing me privately on my online behavior.

When you left it behind, did your ideological views swing to the right, or did they simply become more moderate?

My ideological still share many ideological with them, but, my approach is much more tamer and I'm not going to be like "fite me" at strangers every time I disagree with with them online. It's a huge waste of my time and it'll make me look terrible.



---


Overall, I'm glad I'm back to my old self. Not gonna lie, being part of SJW make me really depressed and I had to seek counselling help because I was so depressed. I am a lot more happy being away from them and I actually can focus on myself for once rather than other people on news, whom I don't even know, about their problem. Plus, I feel a lot more productive being able to contact politicians to bitch professionally about the social issue than bitching like a trash all over the internet. You feel?

Thanks for this thread, this has opened up my eyes and I enjoy reading what other people has to say here.

 

[Monika H.]

Never a SJW myself, but I had a friend back in high school who was a leftist and a feminist, but of the right, non-tumblrina kind. I had already talked about her on here. She made petitions regarding our school uniforms (too sexists in her opinion) and the somewhat hushed homophobia that some of our professors demonstrated.
She wanted to make herself a career in politics.
Heard about her last week, after years of not knowing anything from her.
Apparently, she's running as a municipal candidate in a moderate right-wing party.
I wonder if all the shit the "tolerant left" pulled off in those years made her change her mind.

Funny how the Hulu adaptation cut nearly all that out and is mostly outrage porn aimed at those very same people.

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

From having been around feminist groups pre-troon sjw insanity, it's been really interesting to see how many women who initially embraced trans people are now firmly in what troons would call TERF territory. I'm sure that's mainly due to the influence of online groups and not much in meatspace.

It's interesting to watch how one small idea will grow into this huge-assed problem that causes literally thousands of suicides each day, apparently. To be a good sjw you've got to be better than everyone else, so I guess going to even further extremes on beliefs comes with the territory. It was kinda sad to watch women who were supportive of guys just coming out as women, helping them with things like clothing, makeup etc, were driven away by ever more shrill accusations of being evil and exclusive because they still talked about things like periods and abortion.

The whole trans thing has become the pinnacle of sjw-itis, and it's a shame for all concerned.

 

[sachertorte]

left vs right, politically incorrect vs politically correct, conservatives vs liberals and so on...
I'd rather not get involved with any of these internet groups or ideologies, I'm just a normal person.
In average, people IRL don't give a shit about these discussions, so why would I?
Life is too short, guys.
