Is the SJW movement dying?

Wonderful Id said:
I would love for it to be, but the biggest issue impeding that is the internet. With everyone having a voice and now and the companies in charge of the major platforms biased toward the SJW voice, it's going to be harder and harder to finish off the movement since it can always grow another head and amplify the message. We have been seeing some improvements here and there (things that were once sacred to the modern left being left behind by everyone else and "sure fire" liberal successes failing), but the upcoming election will change many things about the world, including the future of sjwism.

If Trump wins, we'll either see a large number of people finally and openly abandon the modern left, with corporations pandering to the right...or the left will triple down and the SJWmindset will strengthen over the next four years.
If Trump loses, we'll either see the the right regroup/refocus and strengthen in a way that the left has been over the past few years...or it might be the death knell of modern conservatism.

Either way, this continues to be an interesting year.

In my opinion, the only way for it to stop for awhile is if other nations they virtue signal let them know they care neither for what they believe in, and turn on them, like China or Middle Eastern countries do something to damage like stop giving them money or support, or in extreme cases attack them with war or terrorism, then it could break them. But it might come back only this time they would be for Isolationism and not care for other nations no matter how much money they make, they would still bring in immigrants but this time they would try to use assimilation under their own auspices and pretend it's not nationalism. But that's what I think so take what you will.
 
It's been dying for a long time. Their positions are non-starters with everyone even tangentially outside their sphere of influence, and they're despised by basically everyone online.

The thing is, the rot brought about by the ideology that brought Social Justice to us runs deep, and it will not willingly cede power under any circumstance. The shitheads that have been ruining franchises, demanding deplatforming of competing ideas, shoving their shitty politics where no one wants them, and fucking up everything they touch have gradually been losing influence - their outlets are collapsing, since Clickbait hasn't been profitable in years. Less and less people are reacting to ragebait, and more and more people are aware of what these assholes want to accomplish and the damage they'll do if allowed. They're reaping the whirlwind of their own idiocy, and with every day, their bubble gets smaller. Every day, a few more people in their group realize it's a con and leave. Every day, they alienate more people outside the group and these harden attitudes against them.

Back in 2016, I thought for sure that Trump would result in some level of self-reflection, but all it did was drive home that they have absolutely no capacity for self-reflection, and the only way they will learn is if the public hands them their ass, over and over. The natural tendency of them to fuck up everything they touch and drive away everyone even tangentially different from them will lead them to increasingly ineffectually cloister themselves, leaving to more of their own having outbreaks of common sense. Their movement will ultimately implode, but it's going to take ages for the damage they've done to even begin healing, and any of them in positions of power will never stop making pains in the ass of themselves.

So we'll see an increase in victim complex, while also seeing a surge in casual racism as a result of it?

God, I hate hypocrites.
 
Another thing I forgot to mention, if something were to happen in Canada and Mexico as well, like if they lose some support or some drastic changes happen in those places which become antithetical to their visions or ideals and end up turning against them would be another factor.

It's been on it's way out ever since the 2016 election, it's just been a very slow process.

The peak of it was in 2015/2016 when they had every right to believe the future was theirs as soon as Hillary was in office but it didn't happen and the fact that they aren't crafty enough to try to evolve and instead just doubled down on everything that lost them 2016 proves they have no long term chance at success.

What we've been experiencing in the years since 2016 is basically a scorched Earth policy of them simply trying to do as much damage to everything as they can out of spite before they go down, whereas I think in 2015/2016 they actually had pretensions of being genuine in their pursuits.

A good bit of news is that those immigrants being brought in all over the world don't seem to give a damn about stuff like SJWism or PC culture.

The culture of fear and purity tests surrounding these riots shows that sjwism will survive for many more decades. They have power.

The same thing was probably argued about the Satanic Panic, but the eventual fallout was the beginning of the end of the Religious Right. I think this is the beginning of the SJW decline, but it will take many years before it gets eradicated.

The SJW shit has its tentacles in everything though. The satanic panic got bland corporate pandering, sure, but leftists still largely controlled academia, media, education, etc. They may have had to shut up a bit more, but they weren't being purged en masse. It's way bigger than the RW at this point, and now we have phones and social media. Maybe even bigger than the Red Scare, though it's harder for me to compare to that.

There will probably be some backlash to these riots -- with luck, well win that battle. But it has shown me we are losing the war much more rapidly than I had realized.

Satanic panic was the beginning of the end for the religious right, which was the last group like the SJWs.

No, I doubt it. The main reason is because while the Satanic panic was similar, it was limited to Christians. However, with the SJW movement it's not only very broad with various groups, movements and individuals; in a way it has infiltrated mainstream culture that conservative Christianity didn't with the Satanic panic. This is why you readily hear of actors being blacklisted or movies cancelled because of the mob.
 
Yes, but that's because they've already won.
There's no need for a dedicated movement when you already have the support of most regular Americans, outwardly support from corps, and dominance over the internet / news.
You can cite the lefty infighting all you want, but there's no major opposition - not from the "silent majority", the GOP, etc - from whatever new neolib trend we'd call crazy back in 2013.

SJWs are not dying. Their death is inevitable, so you shouldn't wail and get all blackpilled about their continued existence, but they are currently in bloom. They will eventually peak, and in some areas, they already are, but eventually, this bullshit will burn down the area it has within its control and then we'll have some new form of stupidity to worry about.

People talking about if election of Trump in 2016 was the end of SJW's.

Thread started in July 2018 asking if SJW's are dying out?

Almost July 2021, SJW's are stronger than ever.

Learn to live with it. They are here forever.

The movement? Yes, the culture? No. I think its become to big to the point where nobody can control it.

What really change is SJWism backfired on Israel and Jews. The voter block and group lobbying for BLM rioters and soft on crime polices bitching and moaning non-whites and LGBT being overwhelmingly pro-Hamas. Not too mention more immigration from Latin America and Middle East. The more anti-LGBT and religious the west becomes.
