Or Gandhi. Why does GBS demonize these types of people?

It would seem like people who fought for social justice would be good people. :shrug:

SJW pretty much means feminist/anti-racist/anti-homophobe, usually taken to the extreme of making angry rants about straight white men on tumblr.

MRA = men's rights activist, almost always means a conservative anti-feminist, usually taken to the extreme of making angry rants about women on reddit.

An SJW is a slacktivist Instead of engaging in real world activism they scream at people on the internet.

Were he alive today Gandhi would slap SJWs like Patton slapping soldiers.

people used to use it to signify people who felt they were extremely oppressed because society refused to recognize their orientation as a demipansexual anthropomorphic blue fox but then loser internet dudes started using it to mean anyone who doesn't think minorities and women should be used as literal slaves

It's not. I'm into social justice and honestly, outside of a few bitter people who want the bigotry to continue, social justice is a pretty well-respected concept.

It's because a SJW isn't an actual warrior for social justice, it's a sarcastic term meaning someone whose only contribution to human equality is getting angry about how people use words on the internet.

But then it got co-opted by actual racists and sexists so that it means "person who is justifiably angry that I went out of my way to offend them with my actual regressive opinions".

This. They don't do anything except move from one outrage of the week to the next. They 'signal boost' stuff on social media, thinking they are making a difference.

We really should just go back to the term "slacktivist" because that bluntly says what they're doing is useless and annoying and if they wanted actual change, they need to get out from behind their computers and become active in their communi-ahahahahahahaha

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.
Because if you're still saying SJW or MRA in 2015 in any context it means you're a huge loving fag

people who use sjw as an insult basically just hate blacks and women, but meanwhile people who self identify as sjw are intolerable fags so its best to just inhabit a part of the internet where nobody says the word, or better yet just do stuff outside instead of being online all the time. same for the word hipster

The ants. They're everywhere, man. Big fuckers.
The problem with SJWs is that they don't usually fight for equality for everyone, they fight for their own groups rights. Malcolm X said all white people were evil until the last few years of his life. Feminists stereotype all men as pigs who only view women as objects. These people are just furthering seperationism.

This is why I am an equalitarian. Everyone in equal. Everyone.

Just a lonely soul, slowly dying, I was smiling hard, but I was lying.
Then you sailed along, with your sweet dream.
When you stole my heart, I was living.

Morning come, sun don't shine.
I'll get back without you.
I was lost, but now I'm found.
Turning round it was you.
