Hey Nigel, remember when we discussed the "SJW" backlash?

It's starting.

tl;dr version: the various far right fringes of Reddit have combined.  They claim a secret "SJW" cabal at the heart of Reddit is oppressing them - mostly by mocking them for their Neo-Nazi bullshit, or actually banning them when they do patently hideous shit, like invade a reddit for depressed trans people and tell them to commit suicide, for example.

I expect to see this example spread, not least because Reddit themselves are not doing anything (which rather undermines their whole oppression argument),

Literally any act, especially on the internet, that is against doing or saying horrible things counts as "capitulating to the SJWs." You must declare your allegiance to the values of Free Speech by being deliberately neo-Nazi.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

SJW?

"Social Justice Warrior."  In essence, those whiny kids on tumblr with, uh, novel ideas about how to combat racism and sexism (usually through racism and sexism) and generally known for being shrill and oversensitive.

SJW?

Social Justice Warrior. Ostensibly a perjorative for those whose personalities are subsumed by their activism, but the term is frequently abused to refer to anyone with socially liberal views.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Sapient Jupiter Worms - a misnomer and pejorative given to the all benevolent Titan slugs, may their psychic harmony enshroud us all.
