When did you hit peak SJW and why? - Get off the woke train and see through the bullshit that is identity politics!

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
I probably was around 15 or so when I was at peak pinko in my personal politics.
When I was younger, I believed the myth that history is a one-way single path of humanistic "progress", and that a one-world government or united Earth was a good thing. The pushing of that view seems to be spread throughout mainstream Western media - even before Current Year.

I was grossed out by their lack of basic standards, morbidly obese people getting offended if someone remotely mentions dieting or troons acting like they're stunningly beautiful despite sporting a neckbeard. Kept thinking for the longest time that the problem was me and not them until I realized that the Left perpetuated their behavior by tearing down the roles and mores that exist to keep society healthy.
 
When I was in 7th grade I transitioned from female to male after my lesbian babysitter explained to me how "gender is a spectrum." Since I struggled Aspergers and didn't fit in and was weird, I never felt like a I fit in with other girls. I did tell my mom I wanted to be a boy when I was little, which only verified my belief. I had a binder, cut off my hair, went by a male name, started wearing boxers, and went by he/him pronouns. My parents were conservative but still accepted me, but said I couldn't get hormones, etc. until I was 18 (thank god) and had to pay for it myself. My bullying when got 100 times worse. I became even more obnoxious in 8th grade when I discovered Onision (I know) and started regurgitating SJW talking points. By freshman year I was calling my self otherkin and wearing a tail because i secretly hated myself so much and longes to be anything else but myself. Then my batshit insane highschool counselor who upon finding out I thought I was demonkin, confirmed my beliefs that demons were in fact real but actually very evil and how God was actually the way (this was a public school). Then she referred my desperate parents (who were not extremely religious and didn't know what they were getting into) to a friend of hers who called herself a psychologist but all she did was talk about her Pentacostal beliefs and how demons caused mental illness. Because I was easily influenced, I dropped all my SJW beliefs in a couple months and went from the extreme left to the extreme right. This included transitioning back to my actual gender. I was still unsure if it was the right decision but after switching schools and getting real therapy my gender dysphoria was gone. As my brain developed more I started leaning back to the center politically and developing my own opinions.

I think you’ve earned this

Now I see where "slippery slope" comes into play.
I think the notion of logical fallacies - like "slippery slope" and "cognitive bias" - could be abused by the powers that shouldn't be to try and grift people into buying The Narrative.

For example, they could claim the "slippery slope" is always a fallacy to try and convince people to accept stuff that really does slide into Clown World crap. Or they could claim that it's always "cognitive bias" to reject a concept without considering it, so they can try to convince people to take the endless hot takes pumped out by clown "journalists", rather than reject them outright as obvious BS.
 
I don’t know that I was ever an SJW as at the time there was to my knowledge no such distinction or to be more accurate the term was likely not yet popularized when I was in high school. That is to say that I hung around in a lot of friend groups that I would now consider far left by today’s standards and in many regards held a significant portion of the same opinions for a time. We did all of the things one might expect from a gang of disillusioned democrats including but not limited proselytizing to anyone within earshot and generally being smug holier than though cunts to anyone with a different opinion. It soon became clear to me how fickle the bonds I believed us to share truly were and over time due to a myriad of hypocrisies and personal transgressions I began to drift slowly from my leftist ideologies and those people who I had once believed to be my friends and comrades. In truth I think many of us were just looking for a place to belong and somewhat more importantly a way to visibly rebel against both our parents and society.
 
When I was a middle school I was simultaneously a lgbt-special retard and anti-sjw skeptic. I had discovered the Skeptics (amazing athiest was my go to) so I was an anti-thiest and anti-sjw. I was also deep into cringe culture (leafy, pyrocynical, and subreddits like cringe anarchy and tumblr in action), yet somehow in this soup of ideas I had convinced myself I was agender asexual and aromantic. Turns out I was just an effiminant gay man who confused a lack of interest in women with having no sexual attraction or gender. Just goes to show that even when you aren't in the super into the sjw communities the constant exposure to autism can confuse young people super easy.
 
Around the age of 14 I have stumbled upon the slashy fanfiction and that opened the doors of hell to various fandoms and other shit. I never was SJW but I was left-leaning, supported LGBT and my views in general were similar to the ones you could see on Tumblr in its prime. It's laughable how dissapointed I was over those "LGBT propaganda laws" that were approved in various countries, how bad I found the lack of LGBT representation in media etc, etc. Now I kinda support those laws, and modern media is just fucked-up.

Everything changed when Trump was elected, I am a non-US, so I observed that shit-show from afar. The amount of seething and hate I saw from the left over the sheer fact that some people may have other opinion was a major redpill. Suddenly all those "accepting" and "inclusive" gals (many of them eventually trooned out) began to look like a fucking cult. After that followed BLM shit, cancel culture, war on the history, troonery and other unbelievable shit that basically made me a right-wing. But not that /pol level right wing, mind you. The funny moment is that I'm still kinda intrested in fandoms, but I'm fully aware that if any of them knew my views on SJW, I would be screwed lol.
 
In leftist spaces, Wokestupidity has sadly been taking over for the past decade and really hit a point where it was obvious, as a white passing male, you basically were standing on fucking broken glass covered in dart frog poison, because if you dare even make a woman or minority feel uncomfortable, which could be simple as, asking a question or clarifying a statement, you were over. "Omg, because he asked what I meant by my stupid ass vague bullshit, he committed LITERAL VIOLENCE against me".

You could not believe the amount of shit I've seen people get into and purged for, and the shit I've gotten into and purged for, for simply asking a completely common sense question or making a common sense point.

While stupid ass purges and circular firing squads are famously part of the left, the complete overtake of Leftist orgs by the LGBT movement and hysteronic middle class PMC women, has absolutely seen the left at it's most fucking stupid, in the 15-20 years I've been a part of it. Stupidpol and Leftypol.org, are a boat of reason in a sea of fucking complete retardation of the left atm.

The sad thing, most these woke retards don't even realize they're just useful idiots of a Neoliberal PMC class that has turned identity into a tens of billions of dollars in the US alone, new field of middle management/consultant grifting. (or maybe they do, since those fake jobs are 100% grifting women and LGBT weirdos and these idiots are basically just building a resume for those positions).

On when I got off the woke train, was never really on it, only time I would have raged as a "Woketard" really would be when I'm debating bad faith takes on say, a lot of Feminist points that retarded right wingers make. I have no problem shitting on Feminism or anything, but at least know the fucking basics of what you are talking about. I absolutely disdain retards arguing shit when it's clear they simply haven't read a single word of what they're critiquing.

Edit: And just found I am banned from one of my Groups for making a negative generalization (literally stating one of the DSM points of diagnosis lol) about a Cluster B disorder because it made certain others in the group feel uncomfortable. (lets guess, BPD girl got pissed and crocodile teared to the organizers) Like clockwork.

I was on Tumblr in the early 2010s so I started getting fed up of “woke” stuff in 2011-12. It has been bizarre to see ideas like cultural appropriation and non-binary genders that were talked about on there but still debated as kind of wacky and fringey at that time become mainstream parlance.

Because I’ve been exposed to these topics since back then, it’s felt like a weird decade-long nightmare where people just refuse to let go of a trend, even though I guess most people only got exposed to these things around 2015 or so. I am so fucking sick of it at this point. I really thought it would die out after Trump and I thought early last year COVID really would finally shut it all down but as we all saw, useless people being out of work for months on end did the opposite.

I was sort of SJW-y as a teenager in the 2000s, to the extent that anyone could be back then. I hated that era’s edgy humour at the time (which I’ve done a 180 on since), I’d tell off my friends for telling racist jokes, I was into politics, I was pro gay rights early on. But I’ve also always had issues with feminism and a bit of a contrarian bent. So idk if I would have been an SJW or something totally in the opposite direction if I was young now. I’m thankful I’m not and feel horrible for kids that they’re expected to be aware of adult social issues from kindergarten now.
 
Funny enough, despite being in the tumblr scene during my teens, I was in the super edgy anti-SJW phase until I mellowed out.

I have however always been resistant towards woke shit but gradually shifted to accept nonbinary, some level of MOGAI stuff like graysexual, demisexual, genderfluid, etc but I remained hesitant to things like representation demands, fat acceptance, neo-pronouns and kin bullshit.

I think my ultimate peak however came last year when I got involved with some hardcore wokesters and I shifted away from my acceptance of any MOGAI shit, a dislike of the term "BIPOC" and trigger warnings for fucking food (yes, I've seen that one)

And I like to continue saying cunt and retard all day long.
 
Powerlevelling here.

I don't think I ever became an SJW at any point in my life, and it probably helps that I live in a multicultural city where middle-class people come from almost every walk of life. There wasn't any need for me to treat anyone in particular with kid gloves because they were black, Indian, or whatever. It was during the proto-woke era, and some friends started talking about Hamilton, which I never had and don't have any interest in, and how they were hoping for a role to be cast with a non-white person. I chimed in and said that it shouldn't matter what the actor's race is, so long as they're good. They gave me this weird look and an uncomfortable silence hung in the air.

Ever since then I've gotten more paranoid suspicious of people who claim they're for equal rights for <insert oppressed marginialised group here>, as they only seemed to care more about the virtue signalling than trying to effect any real action. I later got exposed to TumblrInAction and locked in on my current position after seeing people issue trigger warnings about the stupidest shit and how self-diagnosing is valid.

One of my favourite videos from the mid-2010s era is this vid (sadly it seems JelloApocalypse has bent the knee).
 
The 2016 election was probably when I was peak SJW. I was a huge Hillary supporter, despised Donald Trump with vengeance, and thought the country was LITERALLY DOOMED after the results came in. I didn't believe this because I came to these conclusions on my own, but rather because my parents are super liberal Democrats (my Mom's an open socialist, my Dad voted for Sanders in 2020, my grandfather was a hippie in the 60s, and ALL of them watch CNN and MSNBC constantly). It didn't help that I was a dumbass teen at the time living in a pretty liberal suburban community. So yeah, I was all set to be some snooty little DNC shill or whatever.

What really got me out of the #resistance was stumbling into videos made by the Skeptic community shortly following the election. This was pretty much the first time I ever heard anyone critique the left in a way that wasn't straw-manned to hell and I actually agreed with a lot of what was being said. In the following year, I became a much more edgier person and was super into the whole "SJW WRECKED" culture as well as people like Mister Metokur, and eventually this site.

At this point, I guess you could call me a libertarian falling somewhere on the center-right of the political spectrum. I've pretty much just accepted that 99% of people (including myself) have no idea what the fuck they're talking about, regarding the topic of politics. It's also why I joined the farms: to laugh at retards who think they have a clue.

I don't really talk with my family about politics at all. They talk about it with themselves mostly, and just stay quiet and occasionally nod my head. I figured that having a constructive conversation with them is out of the question and not going to happen any time soon. I guess that's just part of learning to live with your family.
 
I was never fond of people who virtue signal, but I hit my peak around 2014 from watching videos where those people are having mental breakdowns over the pettiest shit. Okay no, you know what? I really hit the peak when cancel culture and internet censorship started which coincides with Trump's first election in late 2015.
