re: When did SJW culture start?

In my opinion it’s very old. I feel like it’s mostly rooted in communism.

The first real test of it was The French Revolution. The Jacobins were communist long before Marx and Engles came along

I think PC/SJW culture (obsessive complainers) had always been there, they just had no medium of broadcast and no way to pool coordination.

Print media Journalists were actually legitimate truth-seekers and knowledge generators back then, so they were antithetical to “complaint culture”, which is designed by nature to be manipulative and persuasive to produce a desired reality instead of actual reality. So print media, for the longest time, was actually a bane to the concept of Progressivism.

Our colleges, however, became a hotbed for Complain/Grievance Culture. The old adage, “When you can’t do, you teach.” is absolute fact and precisely what happened. An entire demographic of people spanning generations who are overwhelmingly insecure because of their inadequacies and lack of success, were granted an audience who were forced to listen to their opinions and biases, and who were impressionable sponges ignorant of reality and truth, became generations of misinformed lemmings taught to complain and hate.

There were always these packs who complained about everything. There just wasn’t many to listen and coordinate their grievances and pool their weight to become effective at forcing change on a national scale.

It got some efficiency and voice with the advent of the cell phone, and then MUCH more with the advent of cable TV. 100+ channels needing content that appealed to every demographic, and the vocal minority became content/broadcast junkies who now had a venue to impose mass coordinated grievance and influence, and with tons of money involved.

And then that got a shot of horse steroids with the advent of the internet, and especially social media.

It’s been a definite exponentially curved progression. Colleges —> Cable TV —> Internet/Social Media


I didn’t watch the OP video yet. This is just my logical deduction.

It’s always been there but it basically went from being laughed and mocked to being celebrated and embraced under Obama



And this is the result

Maybe about the time that girl won our logo contest with toonces. Dunno

The truth is when I was in high school (mid seventies) we were the opposite of SJW. Act like a man, don’t be a woman, toughen up, sticks and stones, fat shaming, god and country and family, etc... we became better men for it.

Found the Babylon Bee podcast.

Skip to minute 29

at 33:30 they really dive into it "why shouldn't we love social justice? it's better than actual justice."

quote:

---

" the goal of social justice is not to increase justice in society, it is to create a societal revolution that throws off the old paradigm, be it science or evidence based reason, or capitalistic system of economics, the liberal democratic order in our legal or political system. it is actually an agenda to stick social justice activism as it's carried out, not to stick the idea social justice of making society more fair. that's the picture on the box.

what's actually inside to exactly take all the divisive angry activism that makes everything about race, everything about gender, everything a giant fight, everybody problematic, everybody a racist, and to insert that ideology into every institution.

Why would you think that? Because I read their literature and they put that into almost every paper they write. That that's their goal, is to dismantle the existing social system and replace it with one adhering to social justice ideology."

Fun interview outside of that, but it was a little easter egg in there.

Boomers didn't hug/spank their kids enough. Somehow, this has to be the boomers fault.

J/k....fake callout.

Honestly, the media being used as an arm of the DNC to push agenda and shame conservatives has allowed this SJW culture to grow in to the mess we see before us. It will eventually kill itself because when everybody's a victim then nobody's a victim.

Groups like "Media Matters" were the initial kickoff (People paid to be SJW 24-7)

It's taken off from there.

Jimbeaux, this is one of the best posts I’ve ever read on this board. I’m serious man you just hit it out of the park.
