Why don't they mention that bitch lost, and lost badly?

i didn't want to quote too much or break it up but yeah

to answer your question: symbols matter. also, "institutions" likely kept her from winning

it's always those damn institutions

You know by that logic you are part in parcel to the problem of how all this pc bullshite has gotten out of hand.

You lend a certain creditability to them by even acknowledging their bullshite when anyone with a bit of common sense should just dismiss these idiots out of hand.

They only have power if you give it to them.

i'm not offended by the article. i have no emotional response to the article

the logic and irrational-emotional thinking in the article was worthy of mockery, so i posted it to engage a discussion about the concepts in the article

I just read the article. Now the thread makes more sense. Thank you.

I had no idea Reddit users were so involved and knowledgeable of the day-to-day operations of Reddit.

Of course, Spock. You sit on your throne made of impeccable impartiality and unwavering stoicism. You're obviously bothered by it (as evidenced by your constantly used pejorative "SJW"). It's ok to say it annoys you.

So are Reddit and Tumblr at war with one another? Is Reddit for cishet shitlords and Tumblr for SJW's?

I'm sorry if that's a dumb question.

4chan is the absolutely best website for honest discussion.

As you can imagine, this lends itself to a lot of, uh, politically incorrect assertions that people are really thinking when they discuss shite IRL and other places

In defense of SlowFloPro, SJWs are complete buffoons and their childish rants and absurd beliefs should be laughed at and dismissed as often as possible. If SJWs dont annoy you, then you're part of the problem.

that's not compromise and the insidious nature in which this group works involves slowly changing the meaning of words (in true postmodern fashion) so that they can claim a logical/moral point. their absurdity needs to be consistently pointed out


Beyond that reddit has a massive progressive community that if this gawker author had its way they would forced to "grow up" what ever that means. The mistake is to believe reddit or any community wants to change. Peo biggest mistake way trying to people who to run their internet lives.

and, to be even more fair, calling them SJW is just calling them what they actually are.

The fact that a term that actually identifies a group of people by their literal actions is considered a pejorative term, is pretty telling.

They went to 12chan and a few other places I won't mention. But the stigma still stands and is embraced by the community

it's not pejorative. wtf

i'd use my own terminology but the OT won't know what it means. SJW is a commonly accepted terminology for the behavior displayed in the OP

take your pick, i don't care. libprog, SJW, Big Left, enlightened, gold-shitting, i don't care. it's all the same thing in the end

it makes me laugh, not annoyed

now, thinking about living in their preferred land is scary, but we're not there yet. the only way we can prevent that transition is to be careful that we don't fall victim to the aforementioned insidious acts of that sect
