Longpost: Mcyttwt is a raging hellfire right now, but I think mcytblr is a lot more reasonable, so I'm gonna say something here. This is concerning the Techno/Phil/Jschlatt (partially) situation.
Some context: I don't live in a first world country. Actually, I'd call this a third world place; even though this state makes one of the top ten countries in the world budget-wise, this nation is still super backwards in it's beliefs. Jarringly, my parents brought me up to be super PC and aware of issues of racism, sexism, so on. Martin Luther King was a household name, my mother would tell me about the civil rights movement and how I shouldn't discriminate against people based on their ethnicity — so when I grew up a bit and heard people say the n-word so fucking casually at my school, in college, it was jarring and super fucking upsetting.
Because of that, I have seen real racists, not just cockheads on the web that joke about saying slurs — the real racists that say things I'd rather let myself get shot than repeat, that's how fucking vile their beliefs are. I have been discriminated against. When people would find out my nationality and the fact that my family was Muslim, I'd be called a sheep fucker and a dirty monkey. This is what real racism looks like.
When an angry mob of children and fully grown degenerates with nothing to do and too much time on their hands either purposefully seeks out someone's mildly controversial tweets from ten years ago or dramatically announces "if you enjoy this CC you're evil and unfollow me!", this is not a fight against racism. This is just you being extremely, extremely fucking embarassing for the whole left-wing movement. You're not helping the problem, you're contributing to it.
I don't remember when and how the whole SJW term was coined, but what I do know is that it's always been used to refer to crazy people who have nothing better to do, but to screech on the internet about how all men are trash, all white people are born racist and cishet people are homophobic and evil. This is a gross overexaggeration, but this is exactly what you come off as to people who are genuinely right-wing or politically indecisive and don't understand the background and the motives behind your posts. I understand and even to me they seem mega cringe.
All the "if you watch XYZ you're an evil bigot and I wish you a very die" threads are not helping anything or anyone; you're all stuck in a fucking echo chamber and keep screaming racist, racist, and now it's gotten to the point where we've all gone deaf. And because we've gone deaf and the idiotic twitter people are so loud, we can't hear people who encounter real racism. You all are fighting a literal field of windmills, this is so pointless. If there's one thing I've learnt over the past two decades I've been on the internet, it's that real bigots NEVER hide their beliefs; moreover, they're proud of them and usually have some sort of ridiculous conspiracy theory, like the Great Replacement, or some shit to back up their evil, harmful beliefs. You don't have to look or wait for people to reveal themselves to be racist, most of them are going out of their way to make themselves visible.
And if you're not glancing over the real issue, you're also helping to create it. Going back to my previous point about the SJW term — if you see someone using it, chances are, that person is a white confused politically illiterate gamerbro, who, much like you people, has nothing else to do but shitpost on the web. That gamerbro sees a thread titled "if you watch swaggersoulds you're evil and go fuck yourself" and his mind immedeately goes to that SJW term; that's what the fellow bros on /pol/ have been warning him against, it's the evil stupid feminists that just can't shut the fuck up! After that, his social medias start to recommend him anti-SJW content, Milo Yannunopolis "destroying feminazis compilation," after which it spirals in the alt-right black hole on the internet, which turns this person into an actual clostged racist.
If you want to help the cause and ruin a racist's day, go raid a 4chan board or something, mass flag white supremacy YT channels (there's a shit ton), make threads exposing ACTUALLY dangerous people, not some fucking college dropouts whose whole livelihood depends on a bunch of teenagers' financial handouts. Even if you get a CC to see your tweet and maybe make a "sowwy :(" video, that won't change anything, because this white boy playing Minecraft was never racist in the first place. Moreover, you'll probably mess with some kid's head and ruin their day with all this negativity and bullshit. MOREOVER, you will definitely help grow the alt-right movement by being so fucking stupid.
Tl;dr — Twitter activism 1) is super fucking embarassing 2) doesn't help shit 3) never targets genuinely dangerous people 4) pushes politically illiterate or indecisive people away and helps grow the alt-right mivement.
Solution? Stop being stupid. Read a book about neoliberalism. Piss on Ayn Rand's grave. Look at the Golden One's YT videos to see an actual neonazi in flesh and blood. Don't watch videos with racey jokes that make your asshole raw. Support disenfranchised groups with money and protests, not likes and 250 something character shouts into the void. Raid 4chan. Comb through YT to find white supremacists and destroy them.
"/pol/ - Politically Incorrect" is 4chan's board for discussing and debating politics and current events.
