Social Justice is Over

its official, social justice is for the trolls.

2019 brought a new wave of internet users, the self proclaimed social justice warriors of yesterday are the basement dwelling 4chan trolls of today. I noticed this shift starting awhile ago but it seems to be confirmed now.

take a look at this quote from Vox article ‘Meme culture allowed the alt-right’s white supremacy to spread online‘ (*your editor here decided to use the articles headline instead of title because neither were factually accurate and I have to put something.. have you noticed all the opinion pieces floating around dressed up as factual articles? You’re reading one right now, everything here is just my opinion)

For decades, the word “troll” was web-speak for that one rude commenter on a forum who just wouldn’t shut up or go away; the one who kept trying to goad the average reasonable person into a fight — and often an absurd one based on absurd logic, or a twisting of your assumptions regarding the basic principles you were arguing about. For instance, a troll might argue about the color of the sky by insisting it’s red, and remaining intentionally tone-deaf in response to any attempts at correction. Trolling can take many different forms. A famous internet troll like Ken M (a.k.a. comedy writer Kenneth McCarthy) might comment “are capital letters case-sensitive” on a news story about internet password protection in order to satirize many internet users’ lack of awareness about how to secure their passwords. Others, like Reddit user PhD_in_everything, satirize internet archetypes like the mansplaining know-it-all by overtly condescending to whomever they’re speaking with.

and the definition from wiki,

In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive,[1]extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), a newsgroup, forum, chat room, online video game, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses,[2] or manipulating others’ perception. This is typically for the troll’s amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival’s online activities or manipulating a political process. Even so, Internet trolling can also be defined as purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online, for no reason at all.

Could someone please explain to me why all I see these days are people using troll tactics to push SJW agendas?

have a look at this video, perhaps our algorithms are very different and you haven’t been seeing what I have

tldr; tik tok creator onlyjayus caught another creator stealing her content by reshooting her videos word for word and uploading them onto tik tok.

trolls decided to side with the creator caught stealing her content, the creator who stole from her is black so they started calling her racist and eventually they dug up DMs from four years prior when onlyjayus was 17 where she had typed a racial slur

---

onlyjayus has consistently responded terribly to criticism which seems to make the trolling more fun but what’s interesting to me here is that these trolls are doing it in the name of social justice.

trolling by definition is insincere, anyone trying to fight for a cause would understand that behaving like a troll would never help that cause.

if mainstream SJW culture has devolved into trolling like this then its over, and just in time too. I’m not sure about you but I can’t go a single day on the internet without witnessing social justice groups attacking other internet users.

I was there for the birth of social justice warriors, I used to take part in that lifestyle. I jumped off when I noticed my social justice friends had seemingly become drunk on power. They started to use the communities they had grown during dark times to harass and bully others.

They would gleefully engage in brigaiding, (something most commonly seen on reddit that’s widely considered the be ‘a dick move’) They would catfish in order to gain personal information about their targets and then they would dox them, encouraging other social justice trolls to call their targets friends, family, and places of work.

They would do all this for something as simple as someone sharing an opinion that they didn’t like.

If you have made it this far and you find yourself feeling some type of way about what you’ve read here, maybe you think there’s nothing wrong with doxing someone for supporting a political candidate you don’t like if that’s you, then seek help. You’re the problem now.
