I’m just saying, that’s not the entirety, or even the majority of people who are fighting for social justice.
And there are powerful media campaigns working hard to get you to think that they are.
What you’re saying is a little like sating “I’ve been to every Taco place in Chicago, I am speaking from experience, tacos are trash.”
And I’m saying, there are a lot of other tacos out there.
It's more like saying "I've been to every Taco Warrior place in Chicago...".
While I think the term SJW is often used too broadly to include "reasonable people who care about social justice", I also think the term SJW quite often is specific enough to be used as a label for people who take the issue of social justice a little too seriously, often to the point of making it a (seemingly) core part of their identity.
Personally I'd say let's be reasonable and stop using the overloaded term 'SJW', but at the same time I do agree that there are certain people for which it would be nice to have a label, where SJW (emphasis on 'warrior') is kind of the right one.
Do you have other terms for the shitty people within other specific groups? Do you have a term you use specifically for the shitty business people? Do you have a term you use specifically for shitty athletes? For shitty politicians? For shitty women?
We have a word for the shitty version of a gay person. We also have a word for the shitty version of a black person. Worth noting. Louis CK says he has nothing against gay people, but he wants to use the F-word to connote a special kind of shitty gender nonconforming man.
Have you thought about where this SJW label came from and why it exists in the first place?
Normal people can hold social justice opinions and go about their business normally like you say, but these people are not at all what I'm talking about in this discussion. And yes I would say that the general population is NOT chock full of the type of SJWs I hung out with in college. I would know.
Cite me a statistic if you want to convince me otherwise.
