Thoughts Of A Liberal On Extreme Liberals/SJW
I thought that this would be an interesting topic to make, to share my views - as an liberal, on the extreme liberals. I think that SJW movement started as something without bad intentions, I still do think that from their perspective that they are doing much more good than harm, but road to hell is paved with good intentions. There are to many problems with SJW movement, one that I did not cover in the video is playing over victemazing other groups of people card way to often which disrupts cases of actual victims and people with problems.

Awesome video @edwinbeutti ! 100% agree with you! I am very liberal leaning too in many ways, but the new liberal wave don't really prescribe to the principals of liberty anymore, which was traditionally individuality, acceptance, and social-welfare. Now it looks much more like group-mentality, tribalism, and social-welfare. That at least sticks XD
Group-mentality is only positive when it is inclusive and community-based. Otherwise, it divides, demands people to fit into ideologies and strict ways of thought, and dehumanizes people outside of the group. It's exactly how you described it, it's a path to fascism. The extremes of Left and Right create a circle, and they both meet at fascist systems.
Also -- The insurrectionist method of claiming any small minority of a group of people can represent the entire group's interests as a whole is simply dangerous and wrong. Imagine the entire cryptocurrency community being represented by people ONLY invested in say, the ideologies of BCH SV -- That would be nonsense. The fact that the LGBTQ community is assuming all its members are "liberal" is just silly too, being liberal or conservative is more than just your opinion on gender / sexuality. It's also so many other factors, like economics, military expenditure, healthcare, rights to self-governance and protection, cultural values like what should be taught in education about right and wrong, environmental ethics.. This black vs white thing going on in the states and in other places is turning people who might otherwise overlap and get along in so many ways to just hate each other. Maybe someone who was Gay and someone who was ultra conservative, straight and traditional could forgive their differences in sexuality with their common ground in military pride, economic policy, and gun regulations. Instead, the gay person has to vote against his honest beliefs in order to remain a member of his community as a minority, and the conservative is pushed more against assuming the gay person as incompatible in every way with his visions. Simply counter-intuitive to the concept that we are a diverse peoples with many different thoughts and values in each person.
Great video again either way, I'll stop yammering now XD
Exactly my friend, they dont look at the politics as the politics anymore they are just looking to point a finger to the people that do ofend them with their views on life... There is so much more to politics just like you said and in America especially there needs to be a change with liberals since they are representing the in a really really bad light and you can understand other people why they are trying to stay as much as they can from being liberals nowdays since being extreme liberal/sjw is todays norm for being one which wasnt allways the case...
