I'm on the near left myself, and I don't like a lot of the SJW culture myself. A lot of bad ideas being mixed in with the good. But the only think I can't stand more than an SJW is a rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth anti-SJW. They SPRINT to the right because they don't want to be associated with radical feminists, Antifa, BLM, or other "libtards." I don't much like them either, but I like them more than a laissez faire, holy rolling, ultra-corporatist, anti-government, authoritarian right-wing asshole.

@attentatdefecitdisorder4348 Tactics and attitudes. BLM has been recorded many times actively calling for the death of police with phrases like, "pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon," and "what do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? NOW!" That is 100% wholly unacceptable. Any other group pulled that shit would be IMMEDIATELY labeled a hate group. That IS what BLM is, a white hate group, not a black empowerment group.
Antifa puts on masks and sucker punches people, vandalized property, and is generally another hate-filled group. They claim to be against Fascism, yet employ fascist tactics to get what they want. While both groups tend to go after people I personally don't like and think should be exposed, ultra-right wing idiots, religious fundamentalists, general bigots and cruel people, the key is not to become a worse asshole than the people you are fighting.
Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. were fighting some extremely nasty people. People who physically attacked them, who threatened death, who actually killed members of their groups. Did they call for violence, retaliation, open and active hatred for the people who abused them? No, they used peaceful resistance and called for others to repay violence with forgiveness. They practiced what they preached and got what they wanted (for the most part). Do the same today and you make the people who hate you look like monsters, and the rest of society will be on your side.
