  1. Seeing as they are both overused boogie men of the alt-right, yeah there is no difference.

  2. *TheVoxOfReason* There have always been extreme subcultures, the internet just gives them a voice. Ironically before the internet the only place to hear about this stuff was right-wing talk radio.

  4. Yes, self described feminists never admit to having an ideology... wait wut? If anything you're projecting there buddy. It's the reactionaries who don't admit to having an ideology, they either won't admit to it, or parasitically attach themselves to technical terms their audience doesn't know and doesn't understand like classical liberal(which is extinct), libertarian leftist(like Noam Chomsky, who they hate), or just liberal (in which case why are they copying 1990's Ruch Limbaugh?)

  5. Andy Brice First off how exactly is a Marxist a social justice warrior? Who exactly is word policing the word prol because it's problematic? Second off how is an "authoritarian" a social justice warrior? Who is out there saying that criticizing a leader with absolute power is fuhrer-phobic? Third you kind of disproved your own assertion with your attempt to disprove mine, which is most people will identify with some label that shows their ideology on most issues, a la trans rights activist, blm etc. Fourth, what you are describing is just right wing libertarianism, which is not the same as classical liberalism, they just stole the term from a dead ideology. Which seems perfectly in character for right libertarianism.

  6. Andy Brice Are you sure these SJWs are Marxist and not Hegelian? How does Feuerbach fit in to all of this? If you can't answer maybe you should stick to what you know rather than repeating what you hear. Saying there are forces at work in history and society beyond individual actions is not Marxism, it's common sense in the modern world. If you want to pick on someone for that idea you might as well go after Edward Gibbon(1737-1794) So then authoritarianism is a quality and not an ideology. You can't really complain about people not listing all their qualities before they make an argument, particularly qualities you ascribe to them. And on the flip side, most non-libertarians accept post-classical liberal ideas on social services, monetary policy, Keynesian economics, etc. The world of 17th, 18th and 19th centuries aren't around any more and their economic ideas have been found to be lacking.

  7. Andy Brice Probably because it's red scare "cultural bolshevism" type fear mongering. It doesn't serve any purpose other than that.

  8. Andy Brice What about not accepting red scare, secret subversive menace, stab the country in the back type propaganda means that something doesn't exist? It exists, it's just of a different nature. If you are that desperate for a word to... I don't know... give it form or something, then why don't you just call the ideology of SJWs social justice? Seems if they are a warrior for something that might be a motivating factor. You could throw the words grievance or identity in there somewhere if you like. Both SJWs and the reaction against them are fairly new things, personally I'm not surprised that there isn't a coherent frame work and terminology to describe them.
