The good thing is you feel morally superior to other people.

Well all SJWs are racist by definition, but the main difference is that regular racists are just ignorant whereas SJWs are simply evil. I'd definitely rather be ignorant than evil.

what definition is that?

The fact that they value racial and gender identity above knowledge or character. Everyone with certain immutable characteristics belongs in certain "groups" and don't even think about trying to cross or "appropriate" from other groups.

SJWs are racist, the question is really "are you honest about being prejudice ?, or do you hide your prejudice behind a movement ?".
---

I'd rather be a bit loud and stubborn regarding social issues over thinking (x) race is full of (y) stereotypes and belong in the homeland that their ethnicity comes from. SJWs typically think they're doing right and helping people by fighting those who hurt them for their race or lifestyle choices - regardless of how skewed or distorted that gets, I think it's an intrinsically more noble thing to be than to mumble about different races smelling bad and blaming the degradation of society on a bunch of people with different skin to mine.
---

Racists just hate some people by the color of their skin.

SJWs hate a shit load of people for a variety of reasons up to but also including skin color.

I just believe in every man for himself.

idk, I think that this line of thinking is pretty reductive.

SJWism is just a blanket philosophy of rectifying perceived wrongs, where there can be a spectrum of beliefs.

like, let's say we took it to the extreme - there are SJWs that mainly care about gender issues, and not about race, and vice-versa

Regular racists aren't evil? Especially going by the history of the US (as well as other areas even today)?

SJWs are racists, so I guess I pick racist since SJW implies other things along with it

A regular racist could just be your grandpa who still has a 1950's mentality about the Japanese. Being an SJW requires you to also have regressive notions of race, like supporting racial segregation, but also you'd need to be an annoying brat as well.

Yeah I don't get how racists react to SJWs by acting like they're somehow worse than slave owners, the KKK, or Nazis just for wanting minorities in video games, as an example.

He never specified what kind of racist you would be.

I would rather be a racist like a Hebrew Israelite than a full blown SJW moron.

Yeah, no.

The alt-right is a thousand times worse than the SJWs btw.

Are you saying grandpa is a member of the alt right because he refuses to buy a Toyota because he doesn't trust "their" technology?

the internet's definition of sjw can mean something as innocent as "thinks black people deserve the same rights as white people" or "people should stop insulting women based on sex"

A regular racist could also be Richard Spencer, who once seriously considered the prospects of Black genocide.

Also, both my grandfathers are dead.

No, I'm just saying the alt-right are a bunch of modern racists and they're so much worse than SJWs it's not even funny.

From an ideological level probably, but we both know which side is committing all the violence against innocents.

Also, this. There ARE annoying SJWs, but the "SJW" label gets thrown around so much that it's almost lost all meaning.

So has the label "racist". What's your point

It could also mean a smelly hippy shrieking at a white person because they have dreadlocks.

They don't go around rioting because of the outcome of our elections and they don't burn down their campus because of a speaker.

They also don't spray paint things they're supposedly against on buildings to blame it on the side they hate.

And funnily enough, more SJWs have drawn swastikas on campuses than nazis have.

the most ce thing abt this thread is the implication that sjws constitute a cohesive school of thought, as if sjw isn't just a buzzword
eg like terfs and truscum are somehow compatible with the trans community
but yeah just lump ppl in with their oppressors why not

Racists?

You do realize the number of violent hate crimes has sprung up since Trump's election, right?

Claims of hate crimes.

Lefties will make up shit to get attention or to bash someone they dislike. It's a well-recorded phenomenon.

Many are obvious racists who try to hide behind "progressive" rhetoric, especially if they're non-white. Some of that rhetoric is very racist, like "cultural appropriation" which at its core is the belief that "white people" have no culture and must steal it from other, superior races. They have a special term for it -- "culture vulture".

However, they often slip up. For example, there's this SJW called "Eurasian writer" (look him up on youtube) who regularly harasses white male/Asian female couples on youtube, moans about "white privilege", "cultural appropriation", "white fragility" etc (all SJW buzzwords), even has his own SJW forum on Reddit where like-minded SJW minorities spread hatred. He fancied himself as an advocate for POC and a crusader against white supremacy (in reality he's just a very ugly and shy Asian guy who blames white men for his lack of a sex life) and then one day he let it all out -- he started gloating over the deaths of a hundred white people who died in a plane crash just because they were white. Probably got triggered by seeing another white male/Asian female couple on the streets that day.

When you can get called a racist for pointing out things the Quran says, then "racist" has also become a buzzword.

Oh, right.

http://dailycaller.com/2017/04/15/antifa-and-trump-supporters-battle-at-berkeley-again/

You don't have any examples of "alt right" behaving violently en masse and destroying things, so you have to post an example where they are defending themselves against Antifa that interrupted their Trump event.

Pretty sad. The left/SJWs definitely take the cake for rioting and destruction of property. Very easy to see.
