Are SJWs winning and dominating what our culture will be in the future?

You need to unsubscribe from TIA for a while I think. Never forget that TIA is an echo chamber too. Also, reddit's sorting algorithms mean you are more likely to see a highly upvoted post than one that gets less upvotes. What gets the most upvotes in TIA? The most outrageous shit. So the whole subreddit is in its natural state a hysterical frenzy of SJW bullshit, giving you a grossly exaggerated picture of how prevalent this stuff is.

So I would advise you to unsub for a while. From TIA, from TIAD, and from TumblrAtRest. All of it. Set a reminder to resub in your calendar for two months from now if you're worried about your daily dose of outrage. And then unsub, and smell the roses. Note how your daily intake of bullshit goes way down.

This whole mess is a problem, but it's not the full-on cultural assault that it seems like if you're soaking in a tub of it.

I would suggest subscribing to blogs like Return of Kings and Matt Walsh for a while, and you'll quickly realize that despite all the radical crazies on the left, there's enough radical crazies on the right to balance them out.

If so, let the bombs drop. I'm ready to receive them.

I think this is a common feeling, and I do get the feeling you're quite anxious about this.

Don't be too worried. If you're on TiA and here you're likely exposed to more of their rhetoric than most people, so you're likely to notice it more. Take a deep breath, not everyone's like that. We don't need to prove the virtues of egalitarianism, of freedom and the right to be offended, and to be happy, those things have proven themselves time and again, and I believe they're the right virtues we need in order to have a brighter future. Also SJW's will tear into each other just as much as they will at anyone else.

SJW's are anti-intellectual too, do you remember the 'Protein World' debacle? Where's that now? I'll tell you where, lining Protein Worlds pockets, and most SJW's are of complaining about Caitlyn Jenner or some other bull crap. People hate feminists, they hate SJW's and there are a tonne of people fighting back against them, and trust me soon, the feminists and SJW's will fuck up badly and those blogging and vlogging about them will be all over it.

And if they do succeed look at it this way, there was a time when Nazi Germany and anti-Semitism was marching across Europe, unstoppable, and one island said 'no', and what do people think of Nazism and anti-Semitism today?

Of course social justice will become the dominant ideology. Why are all the comments here in denial?

Social justice is a militant ideology present in virtually every university, where there exists an academic empire devoted to marinating the best and brightest minds in "radical" politics. Its recruits become the next generation of the cognitive elite, using their careers in the information apparatus to spread their ideology to the lower classes, causing public opinion to shift further over time. Already, some of their once crazy ideas have leaked into the liberal consensus.

Social justice will succeed because it is a social lubricant. In the cities of the ruling class, there is no social circle in which professing a love of humanity and hatred of oppression will earn you anything but respect and status. In any country in any era, one's opinions tend to align with one's self-interest. If you're an ambitious, intelligent, wealthy, young Brahmin, what better way to signal your membership in the cognitive elite than by demonstrating your familiarity with the latest intellectual fashions? Social justice has always been radical chic.

Social justice will succeed because it provides the sensation of power. There are few pleasures as primal as ganging up to destroy your enemies, further amplified by righteous justification.

Social justice will succeed because it is an adaptive mutation of our present beliefs. Over the past two centuries, anti-racism, anti-sexism, etc. have been elevated to the highest of virtues, yet the inequalities they seek to abolish still seem to persist. Clearly, a higher dosage is needed. Thus, the next generation of "socially conscious" citizens must be even more anti-racist, anti-sexist, etc. than the ones before. Social justice fills that demand.

Basically, social justice is the latest fashionable crusade to which all right-thinking people will flock to to signal their boundless generosity of opinion in pursuit of their class interests.

Why fight history? I, for one, am content to watch this madness take over the world. Then at least I can say, I told you so, you fscking fools.

Being an SJW is a lot of work, and most people have better things to do than keep up with today's batch of pronouns and banned words and pseudo-trigger warnings. That's why it will never truly become mainstream to the extent that we see it on Tumblr. We'll probably pick up some bits and pieces of it; we just have to hope they're the good or harmless ones.

I doubt it. Most kids don't use Tumblr.

Even if it gets to be that way, consider this:

Remember the Prohibition? They successfully managed to ban alcohol, but that never actually happened. It just went underground, where it became more fun. Everything is more fun underground. You'll be like this regular person by day trying to avoid the Tumblr overlords, but by night you'll be like sneaking around being all badass.

I'm being kind of facetious, but I wouldn't worry too much. Even when things change they pretty much stay the same

No, that's a bit melodramatic.

This is all just another internet phenomena.

Worst thing that could happen is that some progressive-populists will waste tax payers dollars on poorly thought out legislation.

CoMaBlaCK · 15日前

It's already happening, the more people get dragged into the fire for doing things they disagree with, the less likely people will be willing to do them again.

Shock comedy will be none existent and the only forms of entertainment will be sjw approved.

Well i know alot of you say they wont. But thats not true for every place. In alot of countries in europe they are already shaping culture, talking about Britain and Sweden primarily.

and of course Germany but that has completley different reasons.

No. People in general are reasonable, the problem is that the internet is full of the unreasonable ones who shout loudest.

As another poster said, have a look around Return of Kings and think about how many people like that you know in real life. I'd guess very few - it's the kind of place that makes you wonder where the internet even gets all these crazy people from. That's how the majority of society feels about SJWs, if they're even aware of their existence. Most of them won't even have heard of terms like 'cultural appropriation' and 'transmisogyny' unless they're in very specific environments (e.g. deep in that part of tumblr, or part of a politically-minded social group in academia). Sure there are a few cases that have made big headlines, like Mattress Girl, but so are there on the side of the right-wing loons, like that guy from 19 Kids - I could pull up a hundred posts from other subs that 'prove' conspiracies from every side of the political and religious spectrum, it's just that these are the ones we focus on here.

It's really important to keep into perspective how the people featured here fit into the bigger picture of society. If we don't then we're in danger of ending up on the other side of the coin to those SJWs who claim to be afraid to go outside because all men are violent misogynists.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

Idk maybe take some classes in ethics and gender studies or read some books if you have the time.

The answer is no.

They aren't going to be a major cultural influence in the least.

You have to consider that the internet truly skews your perception of what is major. You look at TiA and see it has over 200k subscribers. Which is a lot. That's a lot of people tuning in... When you think about what we're used to on a daily basis.

But the Earth holds 7 billion people and climbing. Even the good old USA has 318 or so million people. Even if all the subscribers came from the United States, that's a drop in the bucket.

It's insignificant. Puny. What you see here is simply one thing of tumblr. You're only seeing the SJW blogs and otherkin and the like. You're not seeing all the porn blogs, the art blogs, the nazi blogs, the food blogs, the redpill blogs, the supremacist blogs, the warhammer blogs and so on, so forth.

You only think it's a major thing because it brings in views. If you look on the news, you constantly see stories about violence in USA and the RAMPANT CRIME.

Except violent crime has been falling steadily since the 90s.

And truth be told? The fact you see it as "winning" as if it's some kind of culture war is... kind of sad. I think a large part of your problem is your mentality on how you view the 'SJWs'. I mean, for every Melody Hensley in that movement, there are probably nine kids with good intentions but bad executions (This is hyperbole and a number pulled out of my ass, but it's to demonstrate that not everyone is loony). You can't go around viewing them as horrible monsters out to ruin all fun forever. As you can see, it's clearly affecting your mood. A lot of them are kids. For a while, especially when TiA liked to link about pages and only about pages, I saw that many of them were fourteen to about seventeen. There were some in their early twenties but very few beyond that. I mean, we're talking about the majority of them being teenagers who are likely in the usual cringy teenager phase that many will just grow out of.

But you really should step away from the sub for a few months. Unsub from it if you are subbed, step away from anything remotely related to SJW stuff. Because this is all reactionary. Meant to showcase what is considered the most extreme. The same with mainstream news. It's all about getting the views.

tl;dr No.
