I should note that just because I personally won't use SJW tactics against Ms. #CancelWhitePeople doesn't mean I'm going to whiteknight her either. Those who fling poo at others shouldn't be surprised when their own faces get dirty. I wouldn't try to have her lose her job. You might. That's cool, but don't be shocked and appalled if the SJW tactics continue. It's not like you took the high ground.

I'm just an occasional lurker in the political threads. Mostly looking for funny stuff like



I actually sometimes try to understand what people are trying to say if they're not being to awfully toxic. The abbreviation, SJP and SJW, pops up now and then. What does that mean? Thank you.

That is the funny part of the left. Freedom of speech give the right validity to offend. Left-wingers get fired for expressing their opinions. Make them look really stupid.

Why? I just look at them, point, laugh, ridicule and mock them.

I think she should keep her job. The left, up until recently, has used a more nuanced approach, and have been making their message appear less extreme than it is in reality. And with mouth pieces like her spewing that sorta rhetoric, they're just going to turn the masses against them.

Her and Ocacio-Cortez are at least honest leftists. They should all tell us what they really think.

The left is pretty much paving the way for Trump to win in 2020. They're effectively kicking that overton window to the right, every single time they publicly open their mouths and say stupid, crazy, socialist, racist stuff.

Pretty much this. No need to go after their jobs or harassing them; simply pointing out what they say should suffice.

That does not disprove your inherent offense. You have to find them offensive to want to ridicule them.

I believe it is perfectly acceptable to choose offense as a reaction to an ideology which is clearly leading towards the erosion of liberty, government overreach, debt nascent of bankruptcy, and without purpose beyond power. People can argue about appending democratic to a vile word all they want, but fact remains that this style of governance has only just transitioned a generation, is unproven, and but a generation prior its vocabulary-lite contemporary was responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths worldwide.

Ridicule:

verb

subject (someone or something) to contemptuous and dismissive language or behavior.
"his theory was ridiculed and dismissed"

Sorry, but that doesn't mean I'm offended. I'm not looking to tell them they can't stay that, or go after their jobs.

They don't "offend" me, they "entertain" me.

It's harder to tackle even to more basic problems within an uneducated, underfunded community. Nowhere more glaringly it becomes clear than among many sub-saharan african communities and villages, where people can barely read or do simple arithmetics. Doing anything becomes a problem of finding skilled enough people to do it.

Companies can train people for most jobs. Why would a company invest millions or billions of dollars in an area that is unstable? The risk outweighs any rewards. Corruption and violence are what is preventing many companies from investing. There is a huge financial opportunity in many places in the world. There are trillions of dollars that companies continually look to invest. It isn't the lack of an educational system that determines these decisions.

Well, it is true companies can train people for jobs (in fact, I believe there should be put more resources on that in my country including some government support). But I'm not narrowing down education to any occupation. Rather I was referring to what being civilized requires. I might have phrased myself poorly. Maybe a better word to refer here was civilized instead of educated, after all.

It reminds me, Thomas Henry Huxley wrote a fine essay on education long time ago. I'm not going to offer external links or quotations here, since last time writing down an external link got me banned for a week or so. To put it short, being well-educated is very much more than just ability to fill one's occupation. I'd argue, well-educated people is a prerequisite for a functioning society at large. If people do not appreciate such notion as a fact, the core ideas of enlightenment were lost somewhere along the way.

It isn't population or education that are the root of the problem. Once the primary problems are solved, then education and better employment will take care of the rest. Population rate increases naturally decline when people can see a lot of opportunity for waiting to have children.

I must politely disagree here -you can never solve those primary problems without people being properly educated. In fact, 'primary problems' aren't even adequately defined if masses have a world view based on ignorance and superstition. I do not think it can be a matter of opinion, since the question of primary problems isn't such either. The question of 'how' begs a more technical, knowledgeable answer, even if we abstractly might agree for instance poverty, violence or environmental waste being the problem.
