RE: Ben Shapiro on Anti-Leftist Tactics
Expand on that.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how do one's actions - take for example his great advocacy for second amendment rights - suddenly go out the window because of criticism on a different subject?
Yes, SJWs do always lie, but are we going to just toss that label around lightly? Are we akin to tossing out our own ist and isms so to speak and diluting their meaning? What is the limit on the litmus/purity test before one becomes an SJW?
Consider what actually makes an SJW - character flaws and very deep ones. The fact that they are mostly a feature of the left doesn't imply that other worldviews are just as susceptible.
- A willingness to lie and slander because its "for the greater good".
- Refusing to ever admit wrong, even if the critique isn't from someone trying to go after them on a personal level.
- Always seeing things in black and white with no mercy.
- Throwing people out of the group when they don't subscribe to every principle and being willing to ignore and dismiss anything beneficial they had done previously for the group.
- Willing to do whatever is necessary to take the moral high ground, no matter who is hurt in the process. (The ends always justify the means)
- Guilt/wrong by association; every damn time. Did you associate with said thought criminal for any reason? You are automatically as bad as him, even if you don't completely agree with him.
- Willing to be disingenuous if you can make "appropriate" targets look bad and/or hurt their reputation.
Now I'm willing to fight fire with fire, but I reserve that for individuals who do most of the above and have no regret doing it. Do you? Has Shapiro become all of that and earned an SJW label? I don't think he's close.
Killer Joe said:His present actions completely contradict and invalidate nearly everything he's said in the past.
With his white knighting for Fields and Trump denialism, he's engaging in SJW tactics. And remember: SJW's always lie.
