Being anti social justice warrior is a catalyst for bullying behavior

[Regina]

Helpful or not I see it as a very natural reaction to the "special snowflake" identity politics crowd that demand everyone respect their invented gender flavor of the month and drop eggshells on sidewalk like the flower girl at a wedding.

Some people try and tip toe around them all to signal how virtuous they are, others stomp them with glee or malice saying, "these egg shells are stupid egotistic drama and you don't need them." Other's are doing their own dance and crush them without intention.

Stacking all this identity crap under and into the ego makes it a towering unstable teeter-totter, prone to collapse at the slightest nudge or be blown over in the mildest of winds. It becomes a weakness of self rather than a strength.

There is little to no lasting value in what we think of our personal self/ego, it's a dead end. What you actually become and create by your actions in the world is everything. Those are the ripples left in the water when your hand leaves.

This, absolutely. Quoted for truth.

I think the problem is we live in a culture now where everything is so (no pun intended) black and white. It's either/or, you're with us or against us, you're for or against.

It's not that cut-and-dry in reality.

With this internet culture, you can have people (like myself very often) who are very traditionally leftist and liberal on most of their principles, being dragged on the internet just because they have an opinion which is not quite as far-left as the SJW types want it to be, or because they feel like calling out ridiculous illogical arguments when they see them. Can you expect this internet "Social justice!!!" movement to be well liked by the mainstream? I'm not surprised it gets the backlash it does.

Take your "gender flavour of the month" comment, it's true. If I call out the petty attention-seeking teen angst of a 14 year old calling themselves a "demigendered pansexual androromantic" (because simply being "gay" or "genderqueer" is clearly too passé these days), I'll be told I'm anti-LGBT despite being part of the so-called "LGBT community" myself. It's ridiculous.

And I do find the "triggered" memes funny, I'm sorry I'm not a robot with no sense of humour.
