When did SJW morph from being something to use to make fun of insane Tumblrs to describing anyone who makes an effort to be a decent human being? It's happened on these boards for sure.

Because within seconds of the term being coined, it became a slur, and we all know how well people maintain proper use of slurs! SJW, feminazi, PC, it's all interchangeable and meaningless.

This is a valuable object lesson in why you shouldn't name your son Blayden (I'm assuming it's short for Blayden).

A local farmers market has a stand run by a super New Age family, and their son's name is Slayden. Wish he was as metal as he sounds. :black101:

I'm not going to trot out anybody. I'm going to say that #notyourshield has proven that people behind #gamergate are as diverse as the colors in skittles. I've seen white people, black people, hispanic people, slavic people, asian people, indian people, males, females, non-binary gender people, straight people, gay people, bisexual people... Meanwhile the gaming journalism sphere is comprised of 85% white males.

Stating that somebody is a "token minority" or an "uncle tom" for disagreeing with you is erasing their agency. These people are perfectly capable of thinking on their own. Stating that "they're just ~*~internalizing bigotry~*~" for not falling in line with what the Social Justice Krew states is correct thought is stating that they're incapable of forming their own thoughts or defending themselves, damsels in distress (whoa see what I did there?) that need rescuing by saviors, usually weird suburban white kids. Whoa talk about a white savior complex.

Funny how nice guys are always telling women what to do and how to behave. Only one standard will be allowed, any deviation and you're clearly just a stupid female. Also 20 year olds should dress like 40 somethings I guess.

I'm reviving an old discussion by posting this, I think, but my mom shared this on Facebook the other day:



I can MAYBE understand drinking raw milk if you, say, have a cow and can drink it fresh, but she actually wants it sold in stores. Unpasteurized milk, on the shelves for who knows how long. Naturally she thinks the stigma about it is totally fabricated to KEEP HARDWORKING FARMERS AND ORGANIC FOOD DOWN GET OUT OF OUR KITCHENS GUBMINT :bahgawd:

As you'd expect, she's also vehemently anti-GMOs and basically against anything that isn't locally grown/made and "natural". You should hear the (mildly racist or at least xenophobic) rants she'll go on if she sees "made in China" stamped anywhere. Oh, Mom. You never used to be this way :(

And yeah, unpasteurized milk sold in stores is a poo poo idea. As for tomatoes grown in compost... I mean, as long as they aren't rotten no one cares. What a weird sentiment.

I dealt with Salatin before at an old job. He's a complete idiot with 0 self awareness about how the only reason people can do the things he advocates is that they are all middle class people supported by a industrialized nation and economy. He honestly believes that everyone with a back yard should own farm animals and that we should use a barter economy based around home grown food. Despite the fact that urban ownership of chickens is basically the new hot hobby for liberal middle class people.

Yeah there was some Finnish dairy that tried to sell some raw milk in stores. Then people didn't want to read/understand the directions that the milk should be heated before using and a bunch of people got really sick. The milk was then removed from stores and the people who didn't get sick posted some "WELL PEOPLE NOWADAYS CAN'T HANDLE PROPER MILK! HURFDURFBLOO!"-stuff on the dairy's Facebook page.

Not to my knowledge, but she does go on a lot of message boards and Facebook pages about backyard farming and conservatism, and she tends to absorb opinions like a sponge. Plus she's married to my stepdad, who is a teeeeeny bit crazy and racist himself. Lots of anti-science, anti-political correctness sentiments going on there. It's astonishing.

This does not surprise me for a hot second. Sad thing is, that's basically the kind of thing my mom believes too. Right down to owning backyard chickens and trying to make a business selling them :smith: It wouldn't be so bad, but yeah, she insists that EVERYONE should do it and it's the only way to ~truly live~.

Compost-grown was the root cause of the e-coli tomatoes scare a year or two ago, despite it being the natural way home-grown tomatoes have always been grown, so most commercial growers don't use compost anymore.

That's what the sentiment is about.

Except the woman in the picture is the late Malalai Kakar, Afghanistan's first female police officer, who was murdered by the Taliban for being a female rights activist.
