I think the main difference is that meltdowns happen no matter if there is or there is no audience, but tantrums only happen when the audience is present.

Perhaps the SJWs are emotionally unstable because they are following a moral code that is almost as demanding as the Christian fundamentalist moral code.

The SJWs believe that the shows that they watched as kids turned them sexist, and that they need to be purified. The white SJWs believe that they must always bow down before their POC overlords. They believe that they can never mention the concept of black supremacy or even think about it. They believe that they will always be racist just for being white. They believe that they need to constantly kiss POC asses in order to be above feces on the Great Chain of Being. They believe that they can never celebrate European history, even if they don't degrade African history in the process. They believe that they have a duty to fight against even minor comments which could be interpreted as racist. They believe that, if a woman or a black person disagrees with the extreme left (because many of them do) then that proves nothing. They believe that the world is full of Nazi propaganda, which is similar to the fundie belief that the world is full of Satanic propaganda. They believe that ordinary human sexual fantasies lead to rape, which is similar to the fundie belief that non-missionary sex will send you to Hell.

If I believed all of that, I would be pretty emotionally unstable too!

People tend to be emotionally unstable when they have adopted a moral code that is so demanding that they can never think, speak and act in a completely moral way. It's isn't healthy for people to feel guilty all the time. The SJW phrase "All white people are racist." is just a left-wing equivalent of "We are all sinners and we don't deserve to go to Heaven."

At some point, you just have to be like Bender from Futurama. At some point, you just have to say "I am totally awesome. I am right and the rest of the world is wrong and stupid."

The far-right and the far-left both hate this attitude. They both hate self-esteem.

The problem I have with SJWs is their propensity for expecting others to "do something" about whatever cause(s) they support, and then getting indignant (or even violent) when their own lack of action and their real intentions are called into question.

Why is it that when an SJW demands that "Somebody must do something", that "Somebody" is never the SJW?

Case in point: Homeless people squatting at the jogging/bicycle trail along the riverbed between the Honda Center and Angel Stadium in Anaheim. People could not use the trail without being accosted, mugged, or raped. You couldn't step anywhere along that stretch of path without putting your foot into a pile of human feces or risk getting a discarded hypodermic needle stuck in your foot.

A couple of SJWs were marching, carrying signs, and shouting slogans. I asked them if they had invited any of the homeless people into their homes to take a shower, have a hot meal, and maybe even sleep there overnight. Instead of answering either 'Yes' or 'No', they cursed me out and accused me of being the cause of the homeless problem. Then I asked them if they were doing anything for the homeless people besides attracting attention to themselves and stirring up trouble. That's when they started throwing things and threatening to beat me up.

If the SJWs were at all interested in getting outside help for their cause, they sure went about it the wrong way.

Buncha gorram hypocrites, they are ...

Being generous at the expense of someone else is always so much easier and enjoyable.

BTW does that mean that SJWs with their safe zones are supremacists, too?

College Course: ‘Objectivity’ Is among ‘White Mythologies’

Quote:

A course that will be taught at Hobart and William Smith Colleges next year will teach students that “objectivity” and “meritocracy” are examples of “white mythologies” and “social constructs.”

“This course explores the history and ongoing manifestations of ‘white mythologies’ — long-standing, often implicit views about the place of White, male, Euro-American subjects as the norm against which the peoples of the world are to be understood and judged,” states the description for the class, which is titled “White Mythologies: Objectivity, Meritocracy, and Other Social Constructions.”

“Students will explore how systematic logics that position ‘the West’ and ‘whiteness’ as the ideal manifest through such social constructions as objectivity, meritocracy, and race, and as justifications for colonial interventions, slavery, and the subordination of women,” the description continues.

As crazy as this story may sound, this is far from the first time that we’ve seen this kind of thinking on a college campus. In April of 2017, a group of students at Pomona College wrote a letter to the school’s outgoing president claiming that “the idea that there is a single truth . . . is a myth and white supremacy.” Also last year, a professor at Pennsylvania State University–Brandywine argued that “meritocracy” is a “whiteness ideology.” This year, two University of Denver professors claimed that scientific objectivity works to “spread whiteness ideology.”

Truly, it is odd how often I see stories like this, because people on the left are always the ones claiming to stand for science. They often accuse the Right of refusing to consider scientific fact, but stories like this show that that isn’t necessarily always the case. Although outliers like this don’t necessarily represent all progressives, they certainly do show that there’s at least a sect within the progressive ideology that believes that the most important thing is to involve identity politics — even in instances where involving identity politics makes absolutely no logical sense.

Yup, this kind of thing is big in academic leftist circles. Science is not about discovering truths of nature; it's only about colonial oppression. The Gramscian-Marxist-Leninist Long March Through the Institutions continues (much of it funded by taxpayer dollars).

Every time when I think that the SJWs have reached the bottom...
You're a brilliant source of information. :cheers:

And by the way, I've read Karl Popper's "The Poverty of Historicism" recently. It gives a good explanation of this madness behind SJWism. The books is written in 1957, and people still haven't gotten any smarter.

A big thing on youtube is videos of people crying and screaming and having meltdowns and labeling them SJW's.

I'd say that those people are throwing tantrums rather than having meltdowns. These two things are completely different.

I think a lot of people in those videos are not putting on an act to get something which is a tantrum but are really that fragile from lifelong enabling from helicoptor parents, schools etc.

I don't know what the cause is, but I too am very confident that the meltdowns are real as their fragile emotional control is broken. And unfortunately they are all too similar to autistic meltdowns, drawing the comparison to us.

Assuming that they are filming their videos in the comfort of their houses rather than in the middle of the noisy crowd, the probability of meltdowns in this case is extremely low.

I love it when anti-white racists struggle so much that they descend into post-modern stoner babble.

"Whoa dude! Maybe there's ... like ... no one real world ... and objectivity was invented by Hitler or something. Damn! I'm totally tripping balls!" :lol:

In reality, real scientists (not insecure internet dorks) know that race is a social construct. The modern concept of racial egalitarianism began to catch on among ordinary people after it was verified by scientific research.

More racial minorities should know this.

This is where you, once again, go too far. This part looks like a wacky conspiracy theory.

Are some of these people Marxists? Yes, but this sort of post-modern idiocy has nothing to do with anything that Marx or Lenin actually said. Lenin was a flawed man who lost faith in democracy, but I see no evidence whatsoever to suggest that he was a postmodernist or an anti-white racist.

And they wonder why they get called Feminazis.

Why can’t we hate men?

It’s not that Eric Schneiderman (the now-former New York attorney general accused of abuse by multiple women) pushed me over the edge. My edge has been crossed for a long time, before President Trump, before Harvey Weinstein, before “mansplaining” and “incels.” Before live-streaming sexual assaults and red pill men’s groups and rape camps as a tool of war and the deadening banality of male prerogative. Seen in this indisputably true context, it seems logical to hate men.

Let's not forget that Orwell modelled his idea of "doublethink" from the USSR. The idea of "imperialism" was coined by Lenin or Marks too, I don't remember exactly by which one.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's name pulled from library award over 'stereotypical attitudes' in her popular books

A division of the American Library Association has voted to remove Laura Ingalls Wilder's name from a major children's book award.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's name is set to be removed from a major children's book award after concerns were raised about the "Little House on the Prairie" author's depiction of certain races in the early-to-mid 20th century.

The Association of Library Service to Children's (ALSC) board voted unanimously on Saturday to rename the "Laura Ingalls Wilder Award" as the "Children’s Literature Legacy Award."
