I guess the old adage "a picture is worth a 1000 words" is true. When people speak of SJWs, it is typically in response to people like those in that picture. It isn't used for simply having socially liberal beliefs except from partisan hacks.
Is Colin Kaepernick an SJW? I bet most conservatives would say yes. The meaning you're claiming doesn't fit the usage I'm seeing.
It's not just social justice warrior. I remember at the GOP convention they laughed calling Obama a "community organizer." What's wrong with being a community organizer?
It seems that conservatives have a disdain for anyone who tries to better lives of minorities and the poor.
I do agree that term is now meaningless. It's just an insult. I just find the choice of words used to insult rather disturbing.
the people pretending to be sjw are not. they are people that just riot in the streets, burn down businesses, and force people to think their way. its fascist.
they cover their faces at a bunch of their rallies too. much like the klan does.
the antifa/sjw are just the lefts version of the hateful klan.
Why do conservatives, above all others, maintain a sore ignorance of what a fascist is? I think it's an act of self preservation or ego maintenance. Quit muddying the facts with personal ignorance.
The difference between the conservative Klan and Antifa transcends face coverings. The Klan is a christian hate group and Antifa is a group that hates Christian Klansmen.
Yeah well, the signal to noise ratio is intolerable and mostly unsustainable in the last few years.
You've got one party that has decided to hew to its corporate base and ignore almost half its constituency, going further and further to the right to placate an establishment, and you have another party that has almost completely given itself over to extremism.
There's an enormous swath of people in the country who are independents, some are moderately conservative, some moderately liberal, some are completely flummoxed or disgusted with both parties. I personally think it is incumbent upon these groups to take back their parties.
The hacks do not deserve the privilege of running America.
The hacks profit off having everyone divided so completely that there is no negotiating or even debate whatsoever.
We can fight over policy and that's okay, that's as American as it gets, I know that those kinds of conservatives love our country and I can respect that, and they need to know that liberals love our country and they need to respect that, too.
Somewhere along the way we will find enough common ground to make it work.
Because if they were honest about that definition, then they would blow their cover.
Honestly it's gotten to the point whether I can't tell whether the hatred of Antifa is because of how they act...or because of the fact that Antifa hate fascism. Notice how you never hear the Right give constructive suggestions to Antifa as to how to nonviolently push back against fascism? That's the tell for the Right's true motives.

For me it is very simple.
For extremist RW hacks, it is of the utmost importance that the AntiFa be viewed as being the core and heart of liberalism and even Democrats in general. Of course that's about as far from the truth as possible but for a hardcore RW hack, it's their "alternative facts".
As for AntiFa's so called "hatred of fascism" that whole thing falls flat as a pancake for me and here IS WHY:
Their hatred of fascism stems from only ONE PLACE - their love of COMMUNISM, and don't take my word for it, see it for yourself - the AntiFa groups in the USA are devoutly Communist, even to the point where they have universally adopted the mantra "LIBERALS GET THE BULLET, TOO".
Just Google that phrase if you doubt me and see for yourself.
So I could give two ****s about them hating fascism, because I didn't sign up for communism as an answer to the Right.
Wasn't Martin Luther King Jr a SJW? Wasn't Gandhi a SJW? Were abolitionists SJWs?
Is it that there is no more injustice? Are we living in a paradise ruined by SJW's who are in denial of the perfection of our society?
I am aware of the phrase, but as for a bunch of anarchists' alleged desire for communism, that's a bold claim and I expect to see some evidence to back it up.
The Klan is a christian hate group and Antics is a group that hates Christian Klansmen.
Phys, all you have to do is stop, look, listen...it's not like AntiFa is attempting to hide it, they're quite open AND VISUAL about their communist affiliation. It's impossible to ignore.
FFS, did you think that there is some payoff for me to put this out there?
There isn't, I hate fascism as much as any other liberal.
AntiFa is NOT a friend to liberals or to Democrats, not in the least. You better come to the realization of that fact.
