Express your views on Social Justice, good or bad. MRA, Feminist, Egalitarian, ect.

Peaceful debates are fine. I am aware that this is a hot issue so please keep in mind that others may hold different opinions than your own.

MRAs are retarded. Hardline feminists are obnoxious but more correct than MRAs. Social justice is cool.

How are we supposed to do this without arguing?

I would say that this is flipped, SJW feminists are retarded and MRAs are obnoxious but more correct than SJW feminists. Social Justice is cool, in certain circumstances.

How can you even call yourself a liberal lol.
Title: Re: Social Justice Thread
Post by: Gluk the Walrus on June 25, 2015, 05:34:28 am
Because i understand the concept of egalitarianism in that are people are to be treated equal in the eyes of the law. I look at data and observable fact instead of "feelings" and make conclusions based on the evidence presented before me. Unlike you who buys into the "women are oppressed! we need change!" section of people when in actuality there are sections of the law in which women have the upper hand, specifically marriage and child care, which are not major issues but worth noting. To be a liberal, you do not have to be a feminist, at best you need to be an egalitarian but even that is not always true.

Your problem nipple is that you do not understand liberalism.

Btw, when have i ever said i was a liberal? I'm a socialist, democratic socialist to be specific.
Title: Re: Social Justice Thread
Post by: ClearlyInvsible on June 25, 2015, 05:36:26 am
The term Liberal's so broad at this point, it's basically fruitless. There are a stupid amount of Liberal ideologies out there, ranging from the center to the radical left. It's rediculous.

But yeah, I support Social Justice. Equality and Meritocracy should be the guiding principle in life, have everyone work on an equal playing field so that those who deserve wealth and power can earn it. I've always supported Egalitarianism over Feminism, because lately Feminists seem to be more and more... Misandrists than anything else.

Basically, I guess the way to describe it is, treat everyone how they deserve to be treated. Treat'em like a dick if they're a dick, a retard if they're a retard, a hero if they're a hero and a genius if they're a genius. Always seemed simple to me.

Also still say Democratic Socialism isn't the best of paths. I don't need Swedish housing blocks in America.
Title: Re: Social Justice Thread
Post by: Gluk the Walrus on June 25, 2015, 05:47:06 am
Just because i am a democratic socialist does not mean i want to literally copy pasta sweden's way of democratic socialism. What i would like to do is take many of the good ideas they have in sweden, norway, denmark and iceland and apply them to the united states. Not all their ideas are good just as not all their ideas are bad, same applies for the US. Mostly what i want is free healthcare, free education, tax breaks for the poor and middle class (if possible), higher taxes for the rich and well off, as well as a decent infrastructure. This idea is not impossible, it may even be arguably good for an economy to have more money in the pockets of the middle class. This is all backed by evidence and not "oh read this book some austrian guy wrote 100 years ago!"
Title: Re: Social Justice Thread
Post by: ClearlyInvsible on June 25, 2015, 06:00:04 am
I would propose tax breaks on the middle class, merely because the US needs the middle class to survive. Almost more than our lower class at this point, if what I've studied is true.

Free healthcare would be nice, if it was single payer program and modeled in a way where our hospitals wouldn't be ass-blasted like Canada's. Which I think we could do, if we created higher taxes for the super rich (Or just killed the multitude of loopholes we have).

Free education isn't going to happen, and that may be for the better. While I would wish for education to be cheaper, Private Universities have a tendency to be of higher quality when it comes to Higher Education. Cheaper Unversities are usually state run, and while those are usually fairly good they pale in comparision to specialized private institutions.

Infrastructure needs to be done. Along with a proper bloody rail system than isn't as old as the baby-boomers.

My main problem with Socialism comes with welfare. Yes, I believe that people need help in order to get out of poverty. I'm also well aware that our current system pretty much damns people into poverty when we try to help them. People can't live off of the Government's dime just for existing, they need to actually contribute to the country. Get a proper job, follow the law, so on and so forth. I don't like the Scandinavian idea of a 'living wage', it gives people something that they don't earn.

Welfare should be a platform to aid people in reaching new heights, not a safety bubble.
Title: Re: Social Justice Thread
Post by: Gluk the Walrus on June 25, 2015, 06:08:13 am
I actually agree with most of what you just said.

Going deeper into education, it doesn't necessarily have to be "free" education, it just needs to be at a fair price. This is a massive problem in the US where too many kids are getting out of college with massive debts, that should not happen. You should not start the game in massive debt.

Also on welfare, i think the idea of education and working should be emphasized a lot more. These programs should exist, in some cases they need to exist but i understand the issue of welfare queens, people living off the state. Personally i think we should do government work programs like we used to do. Anyone who wants a job can get one from the government to help build roads and such or other things. This idea could be expanded beyond just roads but that is up to politicians to decide.

As for people who literally can not work, they must be taken care of. It is society's responsibility to take care of these people, if not individuals, then the state.

Update: i would also like to bring up the fact that a pointless war in the middle east costs considerably more than welfare queens.
One costs the government trillions, one costs the government millions :3
Title: Re: Social Justice Thread
Post by: ClearlyInvsible on June 25, 2015, 06:18:21 am
The Price should be adjusted for the market, and should go as high or low as the economy can support. College is too expensive right now, yes, but that can be factored into the fact that many College presidents and Chancellors take home large paychecks. And by large I don't mean 'oh he's better off, shame on him/her' paychecks. I mean 'More money then anyone could ever use' paychecks. And this is coming from a ultilitarian standpoint, but I've always thought that someone should not have what they will never use, if it can be used better by someone else.

Our education system in rural and city zones needs to be heavily revitalized. While in the suburbs our programs tend to be fairly competent (Hell, here in Mass our education is pretty much on par with those of European nations), the majority of educational programs are lacking. Standardized testing and programs like No Child Left Behind didn't help, which is a bit of a shame because they were intended to help everyone. Common Core was our latest stab at it, but honestly it looks like it's going to flop the same way.

As for people who can't take care of themselves, they still need to do something. A man in a wheelchair can do paperwork, a woman with Downs syndrome (in it's less severe cases) can work in a grocery store. Unless you're permanently bedridden or have crippling mental disorders, you should be working alongside Government aid.
Title: Re: Social Justice Thread
Post by: Gluk the Walrus on June 25, 2015, 06:22:21 am
perhaps but are these jobs forced upon these people? perhaps we could do it like this, the government pays a certain amount and the job you works pays a certain amount and collectively that is what you live on. Obviously people with physical or mental issues have to spend more money for care and such so they should have more money. I don't know, these are the finer details of policy making which isn't really fun to debate over.

Also this discussion, although interesting, is not topical at all xD anyways, back on topic, SJWs are dumb.

We can't just throw around hopes and dreams without actual plans Gluk, if we do then all we're doing is talking completely out of our asses and blowing steam through our ears.

If we want these things to happen, we need plans. Plans that will work, plans that can be supported by the populace. Not go 'oh it's not my job to come up with these plans', that's just simple laziness.

Never said you have to agree with everything in it. But it makes many valid points and basically serves as the foundation of economics. Definitely worth a read if you have any political interests/ambitions.

Oh and I must say I categorically reject the notions that:
1) Old books/theories are rendered inapplicable by age
2) "modern" resources are inherently superior

The western world has become a service based economy and has become too reliant on Asia now for our products we need to move some aspects on manufacturing back to the West.

Having free higher education means more people will have degrees which will mean that the value of a degree is reduced (as seen in the US and the UK)

We need to encourage people to go into trades and to look at vocational qualification's.

Never read marx either, it goes both ways. It's not that there is no valuable content within the books when surely there is. It's more that much of the content is rendered pointless as time went by and economics/communism (or whatever the subject) evolved to fit modern society better. It's also that i just really hate reading old books, especially old books on economics. Like seriously? You expect people to read a 200+ year old economics book...

You should just read books in general because they're good for you. From what you're saying it seems like you don't read much of anything at all, besides shitty teen fantasy novels maybe.

It seems like your opinions are based on a heavily calculated balance between being as radical as possible while still staying within those socially acceptable political boundaries that won't get you cursed out or lynched. Essentially you just look like an edgy child who wants to say profound shit in history class to look cool.

But quoting an "old ass economics book" is more valid than quoting nothing at all. What are your beliefs based on, if not on reading? Word of mouth? Movies? Comics?

Jesus... I also never said i don't read when obviously i do. I read history books, i read news articles, i watch videos of people who have read more than me, i do research into subjects i have interest in, look at data and statics of sources to back up my claims, ect. Also you're strawmaning me again nipple.

Guys, i understand that they are using that as the basis of their argument, i get that. It's that they expect me to read the ENTIRE BOOK to understand their single comment on the internet. Instead of saying "read this book" you should QUOTE THE BOOK and say this book said this by this author at this time. Saying "just read this book" is a shitty citation.

MRAs are retarded. Hardline feminists are obnoxious but more correct than MRAs. Social justice is cool.


This is true, if you look at the demographics 90% of MRAs turn out to be militant atheist who stopped believing in god after it didn't reward them with a girlfriend. This is a worse number than the 60% feminist who turn out to have autism and unironically enjoy Zelda games.

Weren't you defending marxism in another thread? Marxism is an outdated ideology as it pertains to economic liberalism destroying the working class in Britain, France, and Prussia during the 19th century, which is no longer applicable today as workers now have minimum wage, pensions, maximum work hours, and social security - and if you live in a not shit country, social health care. It was good in it's time but it's outdated. That doesn't mean you shouldn't read it because it's the foundation of modern ideologies, just like Adam Smith is the foundation of capitalism today. If you don't read up on it you'll never understand.

The western world has become a service based economy and has become too reliant on Asia now for our products we need to move some aspects on manufacturing back to the West.

We're gone past those days, unless americans have a revolution and turn into state capitalist you are never going to see those factories back in America. The lobby, congress, senate, banks, and what have you are owned by the capitalist who moved their factories to another country where they can employ slaves free workers.

Trades are dead, you need to be an engineer not a mechanic in this day and age.

More conclusive results are unavailable at this time, however a Harvard University spokesperson closely involved with the research time has said that the results so far are even more startling than they originally imagined.

okay, things like anarcho-capitalism and marxism, i will admit, I know little about. I defend marxism as a philosophy and read some works of certain marxists and anarchists (not a lot but some) but i don't support marxism as a literal way of running things. Social Justice however is different because it is a plague of autism that has engulfed the internet with raging retards who believe they are oppressed. You know what though nipple, instead of just insulting each other, lets make an honest debate out of it okay? You represent Modern Feminism, i will represent egalitarian/semi-MRA. I will let you begin with answer this simple question. Why should i be a feminist?

At the end of the debate, if i think i have lost, i will admit it and that is a promise.

Would it be social justice if we murdered Gluk?
Yes because i a misogynistic shitlord MRA rapist who supports the patriarchy.

why not? if it's an intellectual debate between two opposing sides then why not? Outsiders may learn something and insiders may change opinions. At the end, we may come to an agreement. Who knows but i don't see why we can't have a debate.

Because it's

ultimately doesn't change anything
probably ends with both parties more polarized than before

funny thing is that i actually am, i watch him regularly. I also watch last week tonight regularly. I find them both to be wrong at times but they both present reasonable data at times which i can make my own conclusions. There is a youtuber called TL;DR who i much prefer over sargon of akkad. He goes much much MUCH more depth with statics and data, you can watch some of his videos and form your own opinion.

Here is a video of his which i think you should watch,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS-JDkEtiTE

Now choice-feminism, along with 1st and 2nd wave feminism are egalitarian. 3rd is somewhat and 4th just lost their damn times. I call 4th wave feminism, modern feminism and the shit they say is retarded.

Guys, I just wanted you to know something. From now, please treat me according to what I really am (which I just found out): A Jewish black transsexual woman.
If you say I'm something else you are a racist nazi shitlord.

PS: Nipple, u can argue with me, I'm a conservative who doesn't call himself a leftie!

PPS: TL;DR and Sargon of Akkad are impolite pricks. Doesn't mean they are wrong, I just don't like them.

PPPS: The men's rights movement is ludicrous.

There is no 4th wave of feminism. Are you really this uninformed? 4th wave feminism was a troll campaign that /b/ and /pol/ collaborated on basically to create an anti-feminist movement which marketed itself to feminists to trick them into opposing their own movement. It worked marginally for a week and then fucked itself when they actually tried to make it respectable, which of course was impossible because they didn't understand the different waves of feminism (Like most MRAs), especially 3rd wave.

when i say 4th wave, i mean internet tumblr feminists on college campuses advocating for "safe zones" and "trigger warnings." People like anita sarkeesian and other internet feminists such as rebecca watson. These people are (Trigger Warning) RETARDED!

Social justice =/= social justice warriors. Social justice is recognizing disenfranchised people (poor, disabled, etc...) and reforming outdated laws or society to better accommodate them. Unemployment insurance and wheel chair ramps are social justice.

Social justice warriors are white suburb kids (much like yourself) who have no idea how the world works and foolishly believe that everything wrong with the world can be blamed on a singular, as well as sometimes abstract, entity (such as the patriarchy, or a political party) as if the removal or change of that entity can fix the entire problem - then they put it on their resume.

Because i understand the concept of egalitarianism in that are people are to be treated equal in the eyes of the law. I look at data and observable fact instead of "feelings" and make conclusions based on the evidence presented before me. Unlike you who buys into the "women are oppressed! we need change!" section of people when in actuality there are sections of the law in which women have the upper hand, specifically marriage and child care, which are not major issues but worth noting. To be a liberal, you do not have to be a feminist, at best you need to be an egalitarian but even that is not always true.

Your problem nipple is that you do not understand liberalism.

Btw, when have i ever said i was a liberal? I'm a socialist, democratic socialist to be specific.

Jeus christ. You realize that fights for feminism extend outside of the first world? There is plenty of awful/unfair treatment of women in the world still. And besides that, disregarding the fact that western culture is historically patriarchal and pretty misogynistic and deprecating of women is pretty dumb, I'm not saying it isn't getting better, and it isn't much greater than it is before, but we are still breaking free of this, and there are still definitely signs of this. IF you were to actually take the time to talk to an actual woman about these issues instead of cherry picking radical feminist bullshit on the internet and then making your own radical claims based off that you might have a different viewpoint.

I barely even had to look to find something like this as well. The problems really aren't direct as "You are woman so you can't do this" It's rather how women are treated because of our perception of women. For example female scientists just seen as a distraction rather than people trying to accomplish scientific goals like the men are.

walko... when i talk about feminism, i am talking about feminism in the first world. That does not mean that i do not acknowledge feminism outside the first world but i live in the first world so it directly effects me. To the feminists who fight for egalitarianism, i applaud you. To the rather large amount of first world feminists who spout "patriarchy!" on the internet...fuck off...

Btw, tim hunt was JOKING! It was somewhat of a tasteless joke, i know but the man had his entire life ruined because of this. Do you deserve to have your entire life ruined because of one dumb comment you made?

Ok, but saying that western society is misogynistic is actually full blown retarded. That implies that you hate women, none of the general adult male population hate women for the sake of their gender. If that was actually the case we would not have a society because the women would be outcasts and would only be tools of breeding. This is quite literally not the case as you can see yourself if you step outside your house and notice that we do not have separate colonies for males and females.

Other than pay equality, i think that most of the fight for feminism in western europe is really stupid.

What about cultural equality? Social equality? Don't you think those are good things to work for? If you talked to any given number of women they'd probably tell you that those are things they feel are important. It's not really our place to tell women that feminism is stupid, as irritating as it may be to us. We enjoy so much fucking power and privilege (yeah yeah) in our society that I don't think any of the complaints MRAs have against feminism hold much of any weight. They're just stupid shit like "Bahhh this dumb bitch on tumblr said all men should be killed. I hate feminists now!". If you actually read about the 3rd wave of feminism you may see that it's really not so unreasonable.

The vast majority of societal changes being worked for would result in a happier and easier existence for the vast majority of women, and a completely nonexistent change in quality of life for males. Anyone who thinks that feminists want to destroy male the lives of males is retarded. In reality, the only reason a male would oppose 3rd wave feminism is if he was sexist. This is not to say that everyone who opposes feminism is sexist, but that the vast majority of MRA's and opponents of the movement do not really understand it. If everyone actually took the time to research 3rd wave feminism and the rationale behind the movement, the MRA movement would most likely disappear.

Maybe you would feel to enlighten me then because i haven't bothered looking into feminism for the past few months.

What is a cultural or social inequality that only women face?


For me feminism isn't stupid because i think it will affect my life, my main problem with it is the lack of understanding that men and women are not the same. Our brains work differently, men are better at certain aspects while women are better at others. I don't have a problem with feminism, i think it's good that a group of people are working towards improving their lives, but i feel that the feminism i have been exposed to is disregarding history, recent changes in male-female social relations and human physiology. It doesn't help either that there are feminists blaming men for social problems that occured as a result of human nature.

But that's probably just the misogynistic sexist racist inside me.

You should just read books in general because they're good for you. From what you're saying it seems like you don't read much of anything at all, besides shitty teen fantasy novels maybe.

It seems like your opinions are based on a heavily calculated balance between being as radical as possible while still staying within those socially acceptable political boundaries that won't get you cursed out or lynched. Essentially you just look like an edgy child who wants to say profound shit in history class to look cool.
