I'll admit that feminism and BLM having their very name focus on a single demographic (Feminism, Black Lives Matter) definitely makes it easier for the extremists to take it over.Not really. The issue is that BLM and feminism only focus on one demographic and they focus on identity politics. Egalitarianism doesn't do that. Hell the definition FOR egalitarianism is this:
of, relating to, or believing in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.
BLM and feminism do NOT believe that no matter how much they sugarcoat it. Hell they don't even follow definitions of racism and sexism! So no extreme bigwigs are NOT taking over egalitarianism because it's damn near impossible.
Exactly and you made some good points. Which is why I left feminism and social justice.I'll admit that feminism and BLM having their very name focus on a single demographic (Feminism, Black Lives Matter) definitely makes it easier for the extremists to take it over.
Honestly speaking, even if someone could prove to me those movements weren't majority hateful I'd still neglect from joining them just cause of the naming bias.
Buuuut, I wouldn't say that makes Egalitarianism immune to the same take over attempts.
It would just be a bit more difficult because the name of the cause doesn't support their agenda as easily.
I mean, remember Atheism+?
There's nothing in Atheism that suggests having to deal with race, sex etc.
But they still managed to make a Social Justice movement out of it.
Remember how college and University used to be a place to critically challenge and debate ideas?
Now they've been dumbed down to Safe Spaces and Women Studies.
Oi, where's the follow through? Get cracking on those warnings. >:[Okay.
Third time asking. *Rolls up his sleeves*
Next person who mentions feminism on EITHER SIDE OF THIS ARGUMENT is getting slapped with an official warning. BACK TO BEYONCE AND CURRENT RELATED EVENTS.
Don't threaten me with a good time. >:[
I do not understand this whole 'White Privilege' thing. Exactly how am I privileged?
Social "issues" aren't even issues at all. Pretty much all of them revolve around people wanting society to cater to them and be responsible for their feelings. Projection and insecurity. That's all it is. Some of my previous points I made basically speak for themselves. The only REAL privilege that counts is wealth.The confusion is because people don't realize you can be BOTH privileged AND oppressed at the same time. D: So a lot of the newest of SJWs tend to spew a lot of stupid uneducated bullshit.
For example a Rich Black guy has a Wealth Privilege that a Poor White Guy won't have. But that same Black Guy has to deal with the social oppression and issues of being Black that the white guy will never deal with.
Poor Black Guy vs Poor White Woman: Black guy has privilege as a male, where white lady has to deal with the shit women are giving about a lot of stuff. But white lady still has privilege of being white and dun have to deal with the black stuff.
The problem with these issues that it's WAY WAY WAY more complex than the black and white nonsense you'll see the extremists pushing out. O__O People like to harp on tiny parts of the issue and don't look at the bigger picture.
Ty for explaining this before I got the chance to! This is what I wanted to say. There are many different kinds of privileges.The confusion is because people don't realize you can be BOTH privileged AND oppressed at the same time.
