When I was 15, in highschool... I came to ALL of the SJW conclusions on my own, by myself, with NO input, except for a fundamentalist christian family and the internet. I never got to a place where I would ignore an argument. I read everything I could online. At the time, there wasn't much. I always wanted to assimilate every new idea. BUT, I never stopped where the SJWs stopped.. I always listened. 20 years later, I voted for trump. I'm willing to talk to any SJW who can talk and argue. I never understood "being triggered". Can we give leeway to the SJWs who aren't beyond talking? The ones who can read a good argument without leaving the conversation?

I'm sure there are various levels of SJW/Feelerz and such but once they have been blue pilled their feel override logic and common Sense. These all you can do is just state facts and tell them you give a shit.
Those you can talk to haven't been blue pilled.
It's really sad ...

Well. I was red-pilled by Robert Anton Wilson. In general, other people were red-pilled by Ayn Rand. This was, as far as modern people are concerned, "the old days". Have you read either? I only read the former, respect the ideas of the latter based on her disciples. If I had enough time, I would read everything. Stefan Molyneux, seems to been an Ayn Rand disciple, and I adore him. Robert, told the story, before he died, of being "called before the throne" of Ayn. He had read her intensely. So had his best friends. Including his insane friend Kerry Thornley. He gently accused her of being dogmatic. According to his story, she got mad and told him to leave. So.. what then? The SJW feelers stuff, think after everything is worth a hearing, even if very slight. but now, it's ALL gone so far that no one will give a gentle hearing to it. Even me. They, the SJWs are beyond mad.....

Never read the stuff.
Common sense, courtesy, manners and just listening to fellow humans was enough for me. Their base ideas are good but when you counter they go ape shit and that was what red pulled me.
I should have watched the Rand movie when it was Netflix ...
