My thoughts exactly summarised perfectly.
I used to be a proto SJW, but I realised how quickly things went awry, and it's because SJW are lacking the basic foundations of ethics and reason
The education system is largely to blame for letting other types of philosophies and ideologies dictate what's right without accepting being challenged.

I just lost a friend because of his sjw attitude.
I don't know another way to best describe it.

Strangely enough it seems to almost always be for a group they are not part of, and yet somehow, they don't see it as condescending!

[naughtynoodle]

very well said, Sir !

Top notch explanation.

Can you not be a good social justice warrior or a bad social justice warrior? Or, perhaps, could some people focus upon the actual issues of social injustice without focusing on their identity of being perceived as a SJW? I don’t understand the current obsession with this phenomena, but I can see why people like you do not care for a certain type of SJW, and I can also see how someone who is trying to help people could be offended by now being labeled an SJW, when really those words in of themselves do not sound so bad. I think everyone should fight for social justice personally, but this depends upon the context of the words I am using. I do not mean that complaining about issues is being a social justice warrior, just as I do not think complaining about SJWs is going to magically make them go away. If people perceive a certain minority of SJWs as being counter-productive selfish people who are out for identity politics or to gain negative attention, by possibly throwing temper tantrums for example, then why do we not just treat those people like children throwing temper tantrums..? In my experience, when a kid throws a temper tantrum its’ best to not give them what they want in that moment, nor should you give them the attention they’re seeking either. You let the child finish their temper tantrum, then you attempt to communicate with them respectfully. This way they learn that they should have just spoke calmly and respectfully from the beginning or nobody is going to take them seriously in the future… I simplified this point I was trying to make for sake of attempting to keep this short lol… but I think overall that giving these types of people anymore attention is just going to keep teaching other young people that they can do the same thing and get attention from it. I get people are upset, but we have much more important issues going on for our collective human species as a whole, than these seemingly trivial social issues that seemingly get more attention than the many conflicts world wide that are resulting in people actually dying and suffering… People in the USA are even suffering… it is a type of luxury that only some can afford to sit around complaining for attention… when you’re actually being oppressed or are actually suffering, typically people are more concerned about survival in such situations, not sitting around complaining about identity politics, which is what this SJW thing seems to be mostly related to…

Social Justice is Social Revenge. No two ways about it.

Imagine someone commenting 'something-ist' in the comment section?

[starrieyedGirl]

You're not kidding.

I think Kathleen Kennedy and Ryan Johnson both need to watch this video 😂

[jjadter]

I really liked this video. I don't think it's going to change anyone's mind if they already have it made up, but I really like this.

Or how to take a good idea and dial it up to 11 and turn in into a sickening parody of the original idea that does more harm than good.

[joshgellis]

Your parable point is much better used against Marxism. SJWs also want that.

[CommanderLVJ]

There is no bless or unblesse or blessed or unblessed or curse or uncurse or cursed or uncursed or whatever or what have the if only because there could not be if only because they are false unreasoning ideological terms and do not actually mean anything: however one can try at least to debate with someone they disagree with certainly, if such a debate is based upon logic reason evidence proof fact and reality that is...;).

[jinglejangle]

I think you're definition of SJWs doesn't match real SJWs. Most SJWs that I've known in my social justice work are like the physician. It is a good old parable, though.

60 seconds philosophy and video is almost 4 mins...

[worldpeace]

The problem with the use of the term SJW is that it can, and is, used to dismiss legitimate social justice movements. I would like to now hear your thoughts on the anti-SJW movement, and the idiots that follow it.
