It's always been a vocal minority.

It's difficult to say what the "movement" is anymore. Mostly, it's devolved into domestic terrorism and riots, so it's kind of sorting itself out. However, there are tons of remnants of the movement in "professional" areas like the entirety of Starbuck's corporate. And then you have drones scouring Twitter looking to get anyone not vehemently on the left fired from their jobs, but that's just more domestic terrorism (even if nobody will call it that).
The media is basically nothing to talk about anymore because nobody even pays attention to it now. That's also sorting itself out through a slow death by tantrum.

The larger and most prominent issue yet is communal diversity and multiculturalism, forcing different kinds of people to live near each other. That's not exactly an issue yet, but it has the potential to turn any part of America into Detroit 2.0 and there's zero chance of anyone ever wanting to say it's a bad thing out of fear of backlash. The concept of it is always going to be a teetering bomb above our head until it finally goes off and then people realize multiculturalism is the new communism after seeing it destroy an entire country. Will it be America? Canada? Who knows. I mean, it's already Germany but nobody cares about them. But someone's going to have to be the sacrificial lamb before en entire superpower realizes that some cultures are just born cavemen.
how is multiculturalism new? every large old American city has been multicultural since the first big waves of non-English immigrants in the 1800s.
Detroit isn't what I'd call multicultural, either, considering it's 82% black and nearly all of them are African-American slave descendants.
 
I think it has turned off a lot of normal people, but they won't admit it was wrong, so it'll never really die. It'll be like global warming/climate change. It'll keep mattering less to them, and being a stand in for other issues, but they'll never let it go completely, because deep down they know they were right.

I say this not because they're particularly stupid people, but because they're people. It's hard to ever give up on an idea, especially when the idea isn't even particularly well defined in the first place, and you get to feel so good about yourself for thinking that way.
 
yeah you mean the straw people ? yeah i heard about them , too bad they aint real you know ? you know what is real ? whiners who cant take responsibilities for their actions , you can say nigger all you want but you are a bitch if you whine about the backlash that you will get you feel me ?

Jim Sterling is over that way.
 
But as long as these big conglomerates own most of the media we consume, the poison is still there in subliminal ideology.

They don't give a shit about ideology. It's not Disney doing this, it's Marvel Comics, a tiny little appendage that is nearly insignificant and treated as nothing but an IP farm. What they care about is Marvel Studios, and the producers there have admitted they basically just throw out whatever comes from Marvel Comics and ignore it.

It's not that megacorporations are incapable of making stupid decisions, but they either go out of business or stop it eventually. Look at New Coke.

SJWism, at least corporate SJWism, is the New Coke of modern media.

Can you imagine if the New Coke fiasco happened today, with #woke leadership handling it? Coke would probably double down on the new formula and insist that the majority actually love it, and it's just the toxic fanboys who are complaining. We'd be hearing about how Coke employees are getting death threats and harassment, and there would be hot takes in the press about how New Coke's sweeter taste is meant to appeal to women and that's why the awful misogynerds hate it. Then they'd probably start putting #Pride slogans and rainbows on the cans to get that crucial homophobia angle, and the accompanying ads would be awash with unearned smugness and an off-putting air of contempt for the general audience. Of course, none of it would work and they would eventually bring back the classic formula, but not without a final round of fuck-you's so the executives who spearheaded it could feel like they had at least won a symbolic victory before they jump out with their golden parachutes.

Thankfully we don't live in that world.
 
SJWs will die the moment the monsters they claim to fight reach mental adulthood, and then the normal people will have to fight the new inbreeds.

The term SJW has lost almost all meaning imo because people throw the term around without knowing what kind of person it was meant to describe. I don't know when SJW went from being a far left extremist who believes our language, comedy, what we wear, etc. should be heavily monitored and controlled by them (the SJWs) because it might hurt somebodies feelings to someone who disagrees with my personal opinions. I've seen a couple right-winged talking heads call other right wing people SJWs before just because of a slight, insignificant disagreement even though of them are the polar opposite of an SJW. I've even heard other left-leaning people call each other SJW as an insult. The fact that the term SJW has such a negative connotation with both sides of the political spectrum is strong evidence to me that the movement is dying.

I think it'll make a comeback though. The SJW movement isn't even new. The PC movement happened in the late 90's, and much of the current SJW crap that gets spewed out has origins in the PC movement. It's just more extreme this time around.
 
"Dying" might be overstatement, but I think shit is changing.

IMO they've passed the peak of their influence, tho. And if they don't want to die, they'd have to radically change thier tactics, and I don't know if they're capable of that. All they seem to know how to do is scream "bigot/nazi/mysogynist/etc!!" at people louder and louder, and for a while that was kind of effective (a few years back), but now that message has well and truly reached market saturation- everyone has heard it and anyone who was ever going to listen has already signed up. So now all the "louder and louder" thing is doing is pissing everyone else off, and maybe causing second thoughts in a few of the people who drank the SJW koolade but weren't really true believers. At this stage SJWs are their own worst enemy.

But real-deal SJWs were only ever a tiny minority anyway, who (depending where you draw the boundary of "SJW" I guess) never had much real power outside academia, (and maybe a few other areas). And like the nutcases on the far right (alt-right, manosphere, religious fundamentalists, etc)- crazy ideologues are their own limiting mechanism. They just naturally make themselves look retarrded, and can't help but purity-spiral, infight over petty bullshit, act like embarrassing, hyperbolic "OMG the sky is falling!!" weirdos, etc, which stops them growing past a certain stage.

But yeah, IMO sjw-ism is past it's peak, but I doubt it'll die. More likely it'll either shrink, then pop up again in maybe 15, 20 years or so, or it'll gradually transform into something new, but equally annoying/ineffective.

Multiculturalism has always been around. Even in former colonies post WW2 kinda retain some aspect of their former colonial rulers. Heck even nations adjacent to each other would kinda carry what the other has.

Hard for a movement with such an overwhelming suicide rate to live very long.

My great fear is that after this dies down we might get an extreme apathetic 90s slacker phase where they no longer care about anything except the only thing they become active in their defeatism is that they demand and perhaps the only protests they have is that all of America to close all contact with the world to isolationism so nothing will be their responsibility and as a bonus don’t get blamed for any atrocities, or an extreme emo phase that goes beyond cutting themselves to a downright suicidal culture that it becomes the emo phase plus defeatism leading to multiple Jones Town incidents.

A lot of truth to this since not only do you have the statistic that troons off themselves at much higher rates than any other demographic, this is also the side that houses Bugchasers and the Fat Positivity people. IIRC, didn't the woman that coin the Fat Positivity thing end up dying relatively early since she herself was a fatass?

And then let's not forget the extreme activists types being the only people on Earth thinking it's either a good idea to stand in the middle of traffic where there is very little that's keeping people from running them over or thinking it's a good idea to pick fights with people that are well above their weight class that can easily short bus them with one punch
