Cumslut1895 posted:I think Lowtax is notable for creating internet SJWism, apart from everything else I stumbled on this video (three or four minutes after the timecode are relevant) of an interview with Tim Ferris (no idea who he is), where he discussed the idea of creating the term "bigoteer" or perhaps "robocop" to replace what we commonly know as the social justice warrior. One of the problems, he argues, with "SJW" is that on its face, it's a positive phrase. The term is used sarcastically to try to shame or discredit someone, but only those who are actually familiar with its usage understand that; to anyone else, it sounds positive. When you call someone a racist or a bigot, you impose somewhat of a social cost on that person. No one wants to be known as a racist because racism is generally looked down upon in society (and rightly so), yet the term racist is also used to stifle valid dissent and free speech. As Ferris says in the video, "the accusation is the conviction." The problem with "SJW," however, is that no such stigma exists. So Ferris proposes the word "bigoteer," or perhaps "robocop," which he defines as someone who calls other bigots for personal gain. I think it works because it's simple, easily understood, and by borrowing the stigma attached to "bigot" can be used as negative reinforcement to discourage the casual and damaging accusations of bigotry or racism. It's also not petty — it's not a trivialization or simple pun like "Rethuglican" or "libtard" — but an apt description; it's one who peddles in accusations of bigotry. To bring this to a broader level, we need to hone our skills in the age of information war, and words are some of the best weapons we have. I kind of hate the meme "meme wars" that T_D uses, but that is essentially what I'm talking about. We need to use (and if necessary, create) words that not only have meaning within our own subcultures, but that can be easily understood and have a psychic effect in the broader culture. "Cultural Marxism" is one concept I resisted for a while, and I still resist the usage of the phrase, not because I think it's inaccurate, but because it's ineffective. For one, it's a somewhat complex topic to fully grasp. I think it's useful in seeing where the ideology came from and what it's goals seem to be, but it requires one to have at least some buy-in to listen long enough to understand what's being talked about. Another reason is that the "Marxism" part of it suffers from a backlash to the Red Scare era. Especially Gen Y (and to some extent X) see the communist-hating of the Cold War Era as over-the-top propaganda, and have come to embrace many elements of socialism (though really social democracy) as being positive. These barriers make it seem unlikely that using "cultural Marxism" in an argument will be persuasive, though a better term may. What do you guys think? Could bigoteer or perhaps robocop be an effective term? Do you have any ideas for a better phrase than "cultural Marxism"? Can you think of any other effective phrases along these lines?

Heyyyy, you know what we didn't do for a while ? Dive into the cess pit that is imgur, YAY ! i rest my case by oxocult8 hr 8325 points Here we goooooo 2nd comment, 1st strawman "Imgur is actually liberul" "Liberuls are the real racists" "We should purge contrary opinions." LOOK AT THEM POINTS Here we reach the trash zone of parent comments with only 1 upvote (all comments start at one because you automatically upvote yourself), the low/negative vote comments before where all replies on a higher voted base comment STATES RIGHTS (There were more states right comments, but like most Hiroshima comment threads they were too long) Here starts the 0 point comment section Victim blaming ! And finally, the bad replies section Here OP chimes in but.. I think he suggests Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a false flag ?

Hillary Clinton Federal judge drops lawsuit against Clinton over Benghazi What's this, Facebook? An infinite cess pit? Don't mind if I do~ All posts are public. Let's start slow. An adult man in a suit and tie wrote this. Not gonna lie, I get a bit irritated every time I see Sean Smith in these. Somebody's mad about the Muslim ban being kicked down again! I enjoy the crazy group name on this one. I enjoy the crazy group name and also the convergence of Rich and Benghazi lunacy. So we've got two spammers in this batch, John D Messer and Gilda Maile, and this one has both. Facebook is clearly not a lovely platform because I can't actually find a way to report either of these people for spamming without reporting it on content they posted... which doesn't work from comments. We have Creepy Facebook Guy, sarcastic patronizing So Much For The Tolerant Left guy, and a loving lunatic who will appear in another comments section later with a Clockwork Orange icon. I had to zoom in on this one for you. I like how Republican crazies can make images like this and see nothing wrong with Trump's entire administration. Uh, actually, impeachment proceedings were started, but he quit before they could finish, and Americans as a whole colloquially refer to firing a president as "impeaching" him. There's very little material differ- You know what, you fucks elected a guy who thinks Israel isn't in the middle east, I give up. I also don't get how these guys can be fans of Russia if they don't like vanishing political opponents... I guess they only like it when it isn't REAL. And finally, a man learns that having his Facebook posts public sucks. (this is after him apparently deleting a bunch of comments)

Their response to anything like this is always some form of "go gently caress yourself", I love it. I wish they would come to Florida and make this state suck a little less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L3eeC2lJZs

They called me mad, but I did it. My delvings into internet comments sections have discovered, on a controversial article saying that Shakespeare is good, a rich vein of the purest neckbeard. Last comment was six hours ago, so there's a chance it's still moving. quote:Nonsense. 100% nonsense, from Shakespeare to Booth to the author of this article. quote:SOME OTHER DUDE: All writers then? All literature? Shakespeare invented binary code. All or nothing. Your pick. quote:You have some problems with (1) reading comprehension and (2) thinking. Maybe some community college could help you with (1), and an actual good college education, with (2). quote:OUR FOOLISH COMMENTER RETURNS: You need a chill pill Sigma. Your rhetoric is way too combative. Good luck with your sciency endeavours. Hey rhetoric that's the purpose of writing ain't it? quote:Nope. You still don't get it.

I always sort of presumed that to get a PhD a person needed to be smart, but the more experience I've had with academics the more I've seen it's really more about being able to have the time and resources to be able regurgitate the right words in the right order than actually being intelligent.
