Ahh… so, we can just make up all the unverifiable work all the SJWs do so as to have a counter-argument.

Okay. Let’s assume this is a proven point and go with that.

If there actually is a lot of work in-between elections… then it’s NOT done by SJWs. Maybe understand that the term “SJW” is not all-encompassing. It doesn’t include people actually doing work.

It’s a short-hand derogatory to mean- keyboard warriors that whine about social unjust and do nothing else.

THOSE are the people I’m referencing. Savvy?

How are you verifying the existence of these keyboard warriors who only whine? I know plenty of people politically active in my community who also have a penchant for arguing online. It is somewhat more difficult for me to verify the behavior of people who I only know online, owing to the fact that I can only tell what those people do by what they post and what makes it way to my feeds.

So are you going to seriously suggest that there aren’t any movements during election years that tell people not to vote? Because I’ll have you remember something called “Bernie Bros” which as I recall, were urging people NOT to vote in 2016, and in 2020 some of them even voted for Trump.

THOSE PEOPLE WERE/ARE SJWS.

You’re too tied up in trying to defend people who aren’t considered SJWs. I’m not talkin g about the people you are. So just stop man.

We probably agree on this here but you’re FAR too busy defending people I’m not even talking about.

It’s essentially the newer slang-term for “keyboard warrior”

Treating Bernie Bros and SJWs as interchangeable is a new one to me (overlapping, I suppose, but I remember some quite rabid anti-SJW Bernie Bros and visa versa), but I’ll grant you that both camps get hit with the keyboard warriors when they’re online, regardless of how active they are in meatspace.

And I’m less trying to defend them as I am calling out the absolute futility of trying to do activism beyond visibility and outreach campaigns online, and judging someone’s political efficacy based solely on their online output.

If we want to build movements that actually, y’know, have political power to do something, it takes a lot more offline work (even if the online work can shine a light on good offline work)

I count how many are moaning in my local message boards vs the people that show up for actual actions in person. The difference is staggering.
