During the past few years a new breed of radical Leftist has developed, one that’s just as
intolerant and violent as rioters in the late 1960s or the Bolsheviks who created Communist
Russia. Steeped in the “progressive” ideologies taught at liberal universities, social justice
warriors believe in feminism, gay rights, political correctness, transgender rights, women’s rights,
the Black Lives Matter movement, gun restrictions, and whatever else their liberal professors
and the media can make them think is an “injustice.” Yet they are not content with equality. They
seek special treatment and special privileges for those groups they consider to be marginalized.

The name social justice warrior (SJW) is a pejorative that refers to someone who talks a lot about
“social justice,” but who in real life seems to care more about their own reputation and virtue
signaling than effecting any real change.

Since SJWs believe straight white males have “white privilege,” they think white men have never
suffered any injustice. They claim white men created a racist “patriarchy” in America and Europe
that they use to suppress everyone else. SJWs don’t compare Western societies to other cultures
— such as Islamic countries where women can’t vote, child marriage is legal, slavery is still
practiced, and gays are put to death. If they did, they might feel fortunate to live in the freest
countries in the world. Instead, they just complain.

This is because SJWs only examine history from the point of view of the oppressed. One of their
favorite books is Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, which is filled with
stories of white men killing Indians and the rise of the KKK. Because of this limited perspective,
SJWs feel no gratitude for the European-Americans who gave their lives to end slavery, gave
women and minorities the vote, put non-discrimination laws into place, built a social welfare
net, and granted freedoms to all citizens years before the majority of the world. Their hatred
doesn’t stop at just white men, even though it’s concentrated there. Anyone of any sex or race is
worthy of SJW wrath if they’re a conservative.

Perhaps the worldview of SJWs wouldn’t be dangerous — only pathetic — if they were tolerant
of those who disagreed. But today’s radical Leftists have turned social justice into a totalitarian
ideology that all must follow lest they be bullied into submission. SJWs censor free speech, get
people fired who dare to disagree with them, engage in violence, and even use social media to
call for their enemies to be killed. If there was a kill switch on Twitter that could actually murder
people, they’d hit the button. In fact, the scariest aspect of SJWs is their self-delusion: They
honestly believe they’re tolerant and open-minded.

As Urban Dictionary puts it: “Social Justice Warriors or SJWs are: People with paper thin skin who
always find something to be offended about. They generally have no concept of humour.” Words
they commonly use include: intolerant, offensive, triggering, sexist and racist. (1)

If you’re out of college and working, you’re most likely to encounter SJWs on the Internet. They
spend a lot of time online, since it’s easier to post comments and memes on social media than it
is to do something good for the world in real life. SJWs also flock to sympathetic message boards
and online groups because they’re easily “triggered” — meaning they freak out over everyday
occurrences that they view as traumatic. When SJWs are triggered, they retreat to a “safe space”
like those offered on college campuses. There might be blankets, teddy bears and coloring
books, or signs saying “women only” (2) or “no whites allowed.” (3) Because although SJWs
preach diversity, they only want to congregate only with others who think exactly like they do.
Their lives are echo chambers, where the only voices they hear are those of their friends and
news media who agree with them. If a distant relative has ever deleted you on Facebook for
making a positive post about Donald Trump, chances are they’re an SJW. They literally have “no
tolerance” for differing opinions.

SJWs are typically millennials, but Gen X Bernie Sanders and middle-aged feminist Hillary Clinton
supporters now veer into SJW territory. Most have this free time to spend online because they’re
either in college or underemployed. It’s rare to encounter a family with two working parents and
a couple kids that adheres to the SJW mantra — they’re too busy with other pressing issues to
care about how many “gender options” Facebook allows its users to choose from (currently it’s
somewhere around 70).

And of course, working families understand that it’s their money that will be taken to implement
the thousands of social justice programs demanded by SJWs. The one exception is the very rich
— especially Hollywood celebrities — who must endorse liberal policies to stay working. And
those celebrities that are serious about liberal policies have enough money to not care how SJW
policies like bringing in Muslim refugees will affect their bottom line or safety. They’re not going
to live next door to them. (4)

2015: The Year of the SJW

The year 2015 was dubbed the “year of the social justice warrior.” (5) But what created the SJW?
Why now?

Like so much on the Left, it starts with Karl Marx. (Ironically, Marx was chronically unemployed,
lived off others’ money most of his life and kept his children living in such fifth and poverty that
four of his seven children died. (6)) Marx’s plan was for a classless society, an ideal world that
would exist after the workers seized control of the means of production from the capitalists. But
everywhere they tried to implement it, the Marxists’ platform was met with resistance.

So an Italian communist, Antonio Gramsci, tried to figure out why the communist revolution was
never successful in Europe. He determined that the failure was because most people’s dominant
ideology was still capitalism (“rule by the bourgeoisie” in Marxist terms). If Marxism was ever to
succeed, he said, first they’d have to change the culture. After that, placing a vote in the ballot
box for Marxist policies would come naturally to the brainwashed masses.

Thus the Left started its “long march through the institutions” — what Marxist Herbert Marcuse
said was the only effective way to take power. The plan involved taking over every institution
they could — colleges, government agencies, media outlets, advertising, and later Hollywood.
Any institution that influences public opinion was a target for Marxist takeover.

During and after World War II, numerous Marxists fled to the U.S. (they weren’t welcome in Nazi
Germany). They took up residence at American universities, most notably at New York’s
Columbia University. The Left’s takeover of the universities, media and other cultural institutions
(like art museums) was not by chance. The cultural destruction of the West so communism could
take power was a deliberate, multi-generational plan. Sadly, many of those involved were merely
indoctrinated pawns.

Today’s SJWs stem from those Marxists, though most deny the association, claiming instead to
be on the side of “truth,” “reason,” or “progress.” Like the Communists before them, SJWs are
totalitarian; they even like the idea of reeducation camps. Also like the Communists, they are
mostly secular. When SJWs are religious, they tend to be secular adherents of a religion. For
example, they only like the teachings of Jesus or the Buddha that fit into the progressive agenda
and they discount all other aspects of the religious tradition as outdated or somehow less pure.
Most SJWs are atheists or agnostic. But like religious fanatics, their blind adherence to Left-wing
ideology puts them clearly in the category of being a secular cult.

One of the main traits of SJWs is that they tend to engage in issues not to cause any real change,
but simply to raise their personal reputation. This is “virtue signaling” — signaling to their
friends and community that they’re a virtuous person without having to actually do anything.
This is why so much SJW activism takes place online — it doesn’t even require getting out of bed,
but their friends on Facebook and Twitter can congratulate them for “speaking out” or “being
brave.”

Real-life activism by SJWs is often just virtue signaling as well. They hold protests to try to make
other people do something. Why don’t they use their own money to build a homeless shelter,
hold diversity classes or house refugees? Because all those things require more effort than
holding a sign or burning a flag. It’s pure hypocrisy, motivated by improving their image. If SJWs
wanted more events that talked about racism in America, they could form a club, raise money
and bring speakers to campus themselves. But they want universities to bear the burden of both
organizing and paying for it.

Another trait of SJWs is their verbal abuse and bullying. And while they’re abusing others and
calling them names, SJWs play the victim — leading to the nickname “crybullies.” They are adept
at using crocodile tears to feign victimhood so people give into them. The goal, after the temper
tantrums pave the way, is a totalitarian state in which their rules are enforced by jail time or
huge fines. Already in New York City, employees, landlords and businesses who refuse to use
someone’s preferred pronoun can be fined for violating their human rights. This could be
accidentally calling a transgender woman “him” when the person prefers “her,” or refusing to
use a plethora of new pronouns like “ze” and “hir.” (7) This is how SJWs fight oppression: by
becoming the oppressors themselves.

SJWs are also the most selfish element in today’s society. Like so many other traits, they’re
oblivious to this as well. SJWs claim to be unselfish because they agitate for groups they consider
to be oppressed — the LGBT community, minorities, women — but they have no consideration
for groups like men, whites, Christians and heterosexuals. Ironically, most SJWs are young, white
people. SJWs will say it’s racist to mimic an Asian accent, then turn around and make fun of rural
conservatives in a redneck voice — obviously not caring at all about stereotyping or hurting the
feelings of those on the Right. In fact, SJWs will go out of their way to insult, oppress and make
fun of anyone not on board with the Leftist agenda.

SJWs do this because all they really care about is their own feelings and whether people are
accommodating them. They’ll even be offended on behalf of other groups, like white liberals
who try to get the name of the Washington Redskins changed even though nine out of 10 Native
Americans polled aren’t offended by it. (8)

The classic example is liberal politicians who pander to minority voters. Many minority voters —
like the gays and lesbians who jumped on the Trump train after the 2016 Orlando massacre —
are starting to see through the rhetoric of the Left.

Notice how SJWs care about the feelings of transgender people and which bathroom they can
use, but completely discount the feelings of parents concerned about pedophiles and peeping
Toms taking advantage of such policies. SJWs care about the feelings of illegal immigrants and
Muslim refugees. They don’t care one iota about the feelings of legal Americans who are
struggling to pay for their own children because so much of their money gets stolen through
taxes to pay for other people’s kids.

This lack of caring for others — except for themselves and the supposedly oppressed — ties into
SJW’s greed. They have a long list of demands, all which must be “free” — free college tuition,
student loan forgiveness, free healthcare, free universal basic income and free reeducation
classes for professors who aren’t “progressive” enough.

SJWs don’t bother with the facts. For example, confiscating 100 percent of the earnings of
Americans who make $10 million a year or more would fund current federal spending for 24
days. Taxing those who make $1 million a year or more at 100 percent would fund current
federal spending for just 72 days. In fact, the more than $700 billion taken every year wouldn’t
even cover Medicare and Medicaid, which cost $1 trillion a year. And those numbers are before
the additional costs of “free healthcare” and “free college” for everyone. (9)

Yet SJWs insist the upper middle classes and the rich aren’t paying their “fair share” of taxes.
According to the Pew Research Center, Americans who make $250,000 a year pay 51.6 percent
of total income taxes collected by the U.S. government. Individuals who make $50,000 a year or
more pay 94.3 percent of income taxes. In contrast, those who make under $30,000 a year pay
just 1.5 percent of income taxes. (10) So who’s not paying their fair share again?

SJWs also love to complain. They feel justified in whining because in their minds, their problems
are always someone else’s fault. They have no concept of working hard and making sacrifices to
get ahead in life. They believe what Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren said in 2011:
“There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.” (11)

The Occupy Wall Street movement that started in the fall of 2011 is another example of SJW
whining. They had some fair complaints about the banking system. But their rallying cry, “We are
the 99%,” tried to paint rich people out as the bad guys. I doubt if any of them realized that it
only takes an income of $32,400 to make it into the global top 1%. (12) Despite being the most
privileged people on earth — Americans—SJWs somehow twist this into having a special status
as perpetual victims.

On a given night in America there are more than half a million people who are homeless. (13)
There are children struggling in school due to absent parents, depressed veterans with no one to
talk to, and people just out of jail or rehab who are confused about how to navigate successfully
in the world. Do SJWs spend their free time at the homeless shelter or jail or countless other
charities? No. They prefer protests, hunger strikes and trying to get people fined for not using
the correct pronouns.

A famous example of an SJW is seen in a video of young woman in Paris who goes up to a police
officer and starts hitting him on the head with a balloon. As he brushes it away, the balloon
pops. The girl doubles down and starts shrieking as if the policeman struck her. Lucky for him,
the whole charade was filmed. (14) It’s a classic example of abusing someone else while
pretending to be the victim.

That’s not the only example of SJWs manufacturing offenses. At Vanderbilt University, there’s the
case of the bag of poop found on the front steps of the Black Cultural Center. Members of the
group “Hidden Dores,” described on its Facebook page as “Minorities Rendered Invisible at
Vanderbilt,” immediately called it a “hate crime.” They issued a statement about the exclusion
and isolation of blacks on campus, the desecration of their home and how they were “in grief.”
Vandy police investigated and it soon came out that the bag of poop was put there by a blind girl
who couldn’t find a trash can after cleaning up after her service dog. What’s more, the guide dog
school even instructs blind students to place the bagged poop by a door if they can’t find a trash
can — the idea being that a responsible citizen or groundskeeper will find it and toss it out. The
group issued an apology, diffusing blame by claiming they’d been “absolutely misinformed”
about the situation. (15)

College-age SJWs have gotten so bad that comedians are refusing to perform at universities.
Jerry Seinfeld — one of the cleanest and most PC comedians — said political correctness has
gone too far. Along with Chris Rock and Larry the Cable Guy, he no longer plays colleges because
the kids are too sensitive and will scream “racist” or “sexist” at every joke. (16)

SJW Logic: It Doesn’t Exist

SJWs pay no attention to facts or logic. Millennials tend to get their news from two main sources:
Facebook and comedy shows. On Facebook, they share memes, photos and quotes with
specious sources. A study showed that 68 percent of 14- to 30-year-olds choose social media like
Facebook and Twitter as their first news sources. (17) Comedy shows seem like a strange place to
get the news — especially for a crowd that yells “bias” at anyone who tries to back up an
argument using an article from Fox News. But satire news programs like Comedy Central’s The
Daily Show with Trevor Noah and HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver rank high in the list
of millennials’ news sources. Gone are the days of Johnny Carson and David Letterman, who may
have done a few political jokes, but didn’t make their entire shows SJW rants to spread
propaganda. Now all of the late-night shows, and even Saturday Night Live, have a Leftist
agenda. It’s all due to copying the success of Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show from 1990 to
2015, who turned it into a satirical political news show.

While some young adults still read traditional news sites, SJWs gravitate toward those with a
strong Left-wing bias — MoveOn.org, The Huffington Post, Slate, Salon, The Daily Beast, Daily
Kos, Politico, AlterNet, ThinkProgress and many others.
This lack of facts and logic results in rants like the following, when an SJW was arguing with a
black Trump supporter. The SJW said of Trump:

“He’s extremely xenophobic. He’s incredibly corporatist. I mean, like, how can, like, tell me what
policy that he has is not fascist. I mean, like, the thing is, like, the wall is fascist. His immigration
policy is fascist. Hold on. His war policy, his foreign policy, his war policy, just the act of saying,
you know, we need to target family members of the terrorists, we need to target children in
some cases. That’s incredibly fascist. That’s something that Hitler would say. That’s ridiculous.
Who? Who? Name me one other politician who has advocated for killing a child.” (18)

First of all, it’s very obvious this person doesn’t know the meaning of fascist or how to construct
an argument. The name-calling is stereotypical, lazy SJW behavior. Anyone with just a basic
knowledge of logic knows that claiming someone is “fascist” is the conclusion on an argument —
one that should be made only after a long string of supportive premises. If someone tries to
discuss issues with you this way, it’s not worth your time. The young man then says a border wall
is fascist, implying that enforcing immigration laws like every other country is somehow fascist.
Finally, he completely twists Trump’s comments about the families of terrorists. Had he done
some research rather than relying on Facebook and Left-wing comedy shows for his news, he’d
know that Trump was talking about investigating family members like the mother of the San
Bernardino shooters, who lived with her son and daughter-in-law in a house where bombs and
bomb parts were discovered. Or the family and friends that harbored one of the terrorists
responsible for the shootings at the Bataclan theater in Paris. (19) Or Noor Mateen, the wife of
the Orlando shooter, who helped him pick out guns and scope out the crime scene, who
promptly disappeared (though she’s now under investigation by a grand jury). (20) And of
course, Trump never advocated killing children.

Microaggressions: SJW Thought Police Seek out Thought-Criminals

One of SJWs’ main goals is to prohibit free speech for any position they find offensive. Whether
it’s banning the use of certain words or phrases or banning people they disagree with from
speaking, SJWs now act like the Thought Police in George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen
Eighty-Four.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) reports that more than half of America’s
colleges enforce some type of speech code. Universities also issue guides for understanding
“microaggressions” — words and actions so tiny that a well-adjusted person wouldn’t even
notice them, but that to SJWs are threatening. Asking an Asian or Latino, “Where are you from?”
is a microaggression. Saying “There is only one race, the human race” is a microaggression.
Telling an Asian, “We want to know what you think. . . . Speak up more” is a microaggression.
And yes, even saying “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” is a
microaggression. All of these examples are from a University of Missouri diversity handout. (21)

In an ironic turn of events, at the University of Manchester in Britain a debate on feminism


sponsored by the school’s Free Speech & Secular Society banned two speakers from an event
called, “From liberation to censorship: Does modern feminism have a problem with free
speech?” The first, Julie Bindel, is a lesbian feminist who campaigns against violence against
women. She was banned for apparently being a “transphobe” and a threat to the school’s “Safe
Space policy” because in 2004 she wrote that a man who has a sex change is still a man. Gay
conservative Milo Yiannopoulos was also banned from the event. He has called being trans a
“psychiatric disorder,” which is exactly what the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5 labels
gender dysphoria. (22) In fact, it’s only because it’s classified as a disorder that treatments like
hormone replacement therapy and gender reassignment surgery covered by Medicaid.

SJWs call banning people they disagree with “no-platforming.” They don’t understand that
there’s no “right to not be offended.” Or that it’s only offensive speech that really needs
protection under the First Amendment. Or that the great social and political reform movements
throughout history began with people saying unpopular things.

As you can see, SJWs have already gone from being a nuisance to being a real threat to freedom
and liberty. As Michael Walsh said, writing for the National Review: “As for Alinsky, somebody
should turn the tables, and instruct the Right how to use his principles against him. It’s the only
way to beat his ghost — and his hate-filled love children.” (23) This book aims to do just that.
