VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

[etiolate]

There's a difference between liberal, progressive and SJW. The differences between liberal and progressive are mostly differences in principles and approach, with progressives being more state authoritarian or more willing to appeal to the state to speed up their agenda.

SJW is about behavior and there is rarely enough ideological continuity to say its a difference in principles. GAF is full on SJW because most of what they do is for show. They want to be seen behaving a certain way and they want to fit into the GAF group. This is why any time a thread shows up which challenges their sense of moral superiority, the first page is normally somewhat normal in response until one of the members figures out how to be full SJW about it, and then everyone else has to get in line with whatever crazy ass view that person has or get banned.

I'm a moderate and I hate the idea that we "don't stand for anything" by being moderate. I have almost exclusive liberal/progressive beliefs, but I don't chain myself to my ideology. I consider the views of Republicans, even if I rarely agree with them. Critical evaluation of ideas is desperately needed in today's world where people vote against their best interests because of this stupid "us vs them" sportsball mentality.

[Himu]

Really, really respect that. Moderates seem like the only sane people in the room these days.

Man, we need to make social studies warriors/ssw a thing.

It does the following:

1. Takes out the social justice element which makes a lot of people think you're against people who do legitimate social justice, even if you're not.

2. Belittles their "cause".

it's perfect really. Bravo, GR.

What makes you a moderate if you have almost exclusively liberal/progressive beliefs? Out of curiosity? Wouldn't you just be a liberal/progressive?

Though maybe that is the rub to an extent. Terms and group identities have become so fluid and relative that it is hard to actually settle upon a shared definition from which to have any substantive discussion from. SEE: The last page about defining Social Studies Warrior's. So we just end up in this muddy pit using hot takes and arguing value judgements around a basket of terms we each uniquely define that often aren't fully shared by any other people in the conversation. Then top it off with a self-declared over-arching identity that is entirely built up using that ever-shifting subjective process.

My stepson was complaining about Social Studies Warriors, so I told him I was an Social Studies Warrior.

He went deathly silent.

One time I was explaining GamerGate to his mom, and he came into the room to make a point, but he was completely unable to speak.

 

This guy apparently punks out his stepson over gamergate, then brags about it on a videogame forum?


Also:
"How can you be against justice? It's right in the name! Social Justice! Justice is always right, so people who pursue it are never wrong."

The obsession with moderation is merely a manifestation of an identity crisis that will soon pass--your final form is in fact none other than SSW Himuro.

[Boredfrom]

people who are all talk and no action have been around long before the term Social Studies Warrior was ever imagined, because you know, people aren't perfect. why anyone is trying to apply the term to those kind of people i cannot even fucking fathom. the notion of trying to minimize efforts to effect social change by giving a negative stigma to the Social Studies Warrior label is fucking lame and gross.

Eh, Social Progress si going to survive a label. The shallow social progressive hyper sensitive hypocrite stereotype is as older as you said, dunno why people get worked out in a 'stigma' that is actually more perpetuated by getting touchy because a label.

I'm just amazed that he needs to condemn those who agree with a innocuous article about poor white men yet tries to get people from noticing the pedo in the room. 

Sigh, I don't know how much longer I can point out the hypocrisy of C.M. Duck, Noblesse, and that other weirdo in the group.  It's blatant that they wish to push a dogma on GAF at the expense of creed, internal consistency, or personal morals.  After all, a pedo can still be a good person if he agrees with them on everything else!

[Let's Cyber]

I'm just relieved it's only the usual suspects sticking up for this op-ed

- Thread Whining / Respect to Others. It's not that "Haters gonna hate" is a banned meme, it's that it's often used to be flippant and dismissive to other posters. If someone is trying to explain what they think about something, either treat them with respect or don't reply at all. So when you post "u mad", "deal with it", "haters gonna hate", "the GAF hivemind", "the usual suspects", "but GAF said x and now they're saying y!!!", "entitled whiners" or anything else that suggests that you don't care what other people think, you may be banned if it is taking away from discussion. This is getting to be a pretty big problem, and it's probably the single largest category of bans these days. If you don't want to discuss something, you don't need to post.

[Bulleta©™®]

Says "may" so I bet it's up to whoever sees the post and how they feel about that poster. And going by what it seems that guy's style, he'll strangely be "missed" by the hammer.  There shouldn't be any "favorites" though.

I like how quickly all travel threads go from "You should travel out of the country if you can" into an argument about bootstraps.

[ToxicAdam]

If people don't like Social Studies Warrior as a label, just change it to Modern Puritanism. Because that's what it is. Trying to use a perceived moral high ground to shame/control/bully others. They get away with it because their beliefs align with the majority, but are taken to nth degree. Allowing them to go  unchallenged on it.

Those people have always been 'assholes' throughout history and need to be identified as such. In real time, not post de facto.

People on the right shouldn't get too haughty or condescending about it. Many of them were doing it during post-9/11 when they were running around doing the 'patriotism litmus test' on everyone in society. More assholes.





 

[Momo]

The opposite of that is true as well with people being branded baiters, gators, nazis etc when they have legit points.

tl;dr if you're in a rush to label a person and ignore the content of their post, you probably shouldnt be clicking 'post reply' and if you are, a sensible moderator should warn you then ban you if you keep it up

Dunno, but if he took convictions on any of his other police run-ins (i.e. The drug possession incident a little while back), those could come back to haunt him here when it comes to sentencing.

The "lenient" plea deals tend to be for those with otherwise no record/history.

You joke but there's a current member that's changed handles multiple times that several posters considered a pedo. From what I gather they PM'd a member who had been sexually abused as a kid asking for more details, after which letting them know they were aroused. Naturally on other occasions they'd PM'd (and confessed to) sending dick pics in proud GAF tradition.

Sounds like they should have.

From reading his gaf profile his an 'IT Specialist' apparently, so he was probably not working directly with kids, probably just updating school laptops and PC's in the background.

Still he gives me a chill air whenever I see his posts something real off with that guy.

I first put it down to him asskissing EL but his been so combative in any topic even mentioning the Amirox stuff that you do have to wonder.

Pedo stuff is fairly rare nowadays. There's a lot of creepy/lewd stuff on GAF (because Japan, anime, Vita) coming back to the surface from time to time though and it has been like that for long (remember IceCream ? That was, what, 10 years ago ?).

To be fair the mod team have cracked down on that stuff periodically (figurine community IIRC) and honestly the last one was fairly efficient. We had several months with almost none of that stuff to link here.

Exodust does bring up a really good point and something ive thought about. Serial killers or people that can commit some terrible shit do get some form of empathy from me. In the the sense that those desires or feelings are most likely biological, or the right environmental shit happened to trigger those desires on a biological level.

That being said, you gotta own up to what you are no matter what. If youre born a monster or fucked up, you can either find the will to change and not give in, or you own up to being a monster and accept whats gonna come to ya. Life isnt fair to normal people, sure as shit wont be fair to people that fuck up normal lives.

Of course he did, but I was just thinking out loud.

Social Studies Warriors were so powerful in the late Austrian-Hungarian Empire that they split the country into Cisleithania and Transleithania. Then the whole nation-state collapsed into non-existence.
