They did a pretty good job at destroying Occupy Wall Street, and co-opting economic protests with widespread support into some kind of stupid social justice circlejerk that annoyed everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCwhlZtHhWs

I love the blanket stereotypes being thrown around itt: either all men are completely macho hulk hogan wannabes or screeching scrotum-less boys like that youtube vid. Seriously most men don't act like either of those and most women are not feminists, its just one vocal minority shrieking about the opposite vocal minority.

The acceptability of any of your actions is determined by your desirability. That doesn't mean that you should take the red pill and buy a fedora, it means if you want to be a sexist rear end in a top hat full of toxic masculinity and be rewarded for it you better be sexy and/or rich

They don't seem to care that much about body shape, but they do care about grooming habits. Basically they want you to shower, shave/trim, comb your hair, don't stare at their tits unless you're invited to, look them in the eye when you're talking to them, and talk to them like they're human beings instead of sex toys. They're really not asking for much. Have you considered that you guys might just be gross losers? Game_Whino posted:I'm not a chubby chaser. I just don't generally give a poo poo if someone is fat or skinny as long as they aren't complete assholes and can hold a conversation. That said, the skinny one's tend to be a lot more aggressive and have more trouble taking no for an answer. Even after you've explained that you don't like them in that particular way, they still keep at it. I didn't mind it that much back when I was single, but I've been married for a while now and it gets really annoying really quickly. The only way to get them to back off is to point out to them that they're acting in an inappropriate manner that's probably influenced by some ingrained patriarchal bullshit.

If you can't accept that there is a bit of clash between leftist that consider economic issues most important vs leftist that consider social issues most important in 2015 then I dunno what to tell ya net cafe scandal but yeah our inability to set differences aside and unite against a common enemy has been both a present and historic barrier to progressives.

Then the SJWs and co. started dragging all their pet social issues into it, and it became a muddled mess. the movement was never focused beyond "general discontent with economic matters" and from the very beginning diverged enormously in scope and goal depending on the location, sometimes doing good + concrete work and sometimes full of feelgood liberal horseshit. the occupy group in my city was heavily driven and concerned with first nations matters, for ex, touching on both social and economic issues that never got a word of mention in, say, american city occupy camps. "SJWs ruined everything" is some top tier revisionism tho Ambrose Burnside fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Sep 30, 2015 |

unfortunately economics in 2015 are complicated enough that you can take the average pissed off person and start babbling at them until they feel retarded and go 'fine capitalism is fine' just out of surrender it's hard to get people riled up without something simple for them to back but there's no simple solutions here that can fit into easy soundbites. not impossible, but unfortunately this also means it is very easy to derail. all you need is some people trying to muddy everything and an opposition that doesn't care about rational discourse and prefers to call you an evil communist muslim satanman then gently caress up public education and hey you've got US politics, 2015. The right is retarded, the left can't stop arguing with each other long to organize or even form a coherent platform, and no one knows poo poo so they don't sit around talking about how hosed they're getting.

All I'm saying is that there are better ways to go about it than sitting in a park, and talking in a special order to avoid hurting feelings. Trade Unionism, for example has a clear purpose, method of organization, funding and (had) public support (once). Look at a General Strike vs Occupy and you can see the difference. Now you get "Unions were traditionally opposed to women and Blacks in the workforce, so we can't work with them. Economic issues are secondary to trans/indigenous/feminist...  " Nothing gets done.

Well-meaning trust fund babies referring to Black Canadians as "People Of Colour" or "POCs" and deigning to speak on our behalf is lol. The pearl clutching should they ever happen to be in a Black neighbourhood is pretty hilarious, since Jane-Finch may as well be Iraq as far as they're concerned.

I'm just frustrated because I feel like the bad optics of OCW set back any future movement in the public's eyes a fair bit. It's like how the Battle of Seattle or Toronto G20 is about the underlying issues for some people, but tear gas and burning police cars for more.

For instance, how do we solve the energy crisis and get off fossil fuels? You'll get an argument in a room full of leftists over nuclear power. How do we solve world hunger? You'll get an argument in a room full of leftists over genetically modified crops. How do we fix economic issue 'x'? The speed of implementation of the solution will range from gradually voting for less bad people until you start getting good people, vs bloody revolution hail satan im gay full communism now. The issue here is that in our attempt at creating intellectual safe spaces to discuss all sides of the ideas, we leftists have kind of allowed a lot of people on our side to get away with having loving retarded opinions. when you leave that door open, people naturally infiltrate all positive progressive movements and use them as a base of operations to build their own insular ideologies within them. basically a purge is necessary. ArbitraryC posted:I dunno, I feel like it's a common thing. Almost every discussion of privilege revolves around social identities rather than class for example. Also you see stuff like social activists from expensive private universities crashing Bernie Sanders rallies. iirc the black lives matter girls turned out to be republican false flags Discussion of privilege tends to be focused more on creating a reverse hierarchy within a movement that places whoever thinks they deserve the biggest pity parade on top. It's identity politics usually. It ties back into what I was saying about people using progressive safe-spaces to cultivate insular attitudes.

I went to the Occupy thing in Tampa right before the loving RNC convention was here thinking that there would be some real political protest going on, and as I was walking up to it I saw a crusty gutter punk with giant mutilated earlobes and sleeved up tattoo arms doing that loving annoying "community megaphone" thing and I just turned around and left without even going into the park.
