I was just having a pm with a member here and this may give some clarity to B4 as to how I view the usage of the (derogatory) term 'SJW":
I get that 'anti-fa' have given the 'left' bad PR at times.... but the over reaction and (as you can see above) infantile reduction of important human rights activism/support activities down to memes etc - it shows ignorance of the wider picture.
The planetary issue of STS/STO is HAPPENING right now and it's not being that much influenced by Disney memes, snide bitchiness and getting your philosophy spoon-fed to you by you-tube videos and populist media players and then sitting behind a keyboard being clearly hateful to others.
(Not knocking Disney per-se btw)
Quote:Relaxo: "My best friend (we first met at University 33 years ago) - is the Secretary General at FIDH - International Federation for Human Rights; and Coordinator/Founder of the Alternative ASEAN Network on Burma. (ALTSEAN-Burma) and prior to that Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development (APWLD).
This is part of why I find the whole 'SJW' meme/insult disturbing/undermining... my friend is working on the front lines with refugees, imprisoned journalists, totalitarian governments.. etc ... particularly involved with the rape/murder/ethnic cleansing of ie: Rohingya... visits refugee camps that are the size of cities... everyone living under cardboard/plastic sheeting... she regularly addresses the UN etc; I'm currently helping her compile information on human rights violations/abuses worldwide - into short form for an AGM. The things I'm reading about (Global press releases etc) are intense - heart breaking... this is a very harsh 3D situation/planet/epoch
- so I find the ignorance of some here (and limited life experience) frustrating. "
