Where Do SJWs Come From? Laura Southern of Rebel Media interviews Dr. Jordan Peterson on his study on the psychological differences between SJWs and liberals. Note: This is the same man who has opposed the Canadian bill that says you must use the transgenders' preferred pronouns or go to civil rights commissions ... and if you don't do what that group says, they charge you with contempt and you CAN get sent to jail.

The TDLR summary of the discussion:

SJWs vs Liberals

* Both have agreeableness/compassion. * SJWs have low cognitive ability compared to classic liberals * SJWs have high interpersonal disgust (also associated with very conservative people) which also associates with wanting very strict rules * SJWs high correlation of anxiety/mood disorders, the study required medical diagnoses of people or member of family * both types of SJW views and classic liberalism were associated with training/seminars - which means indoctrination does have an effect * classic liberals had a high degree of openness, SJWs don't, so SJWs are very intolerant of nuance, need it black * liberals of both stripes have intense compassion, intense need to help those in visible distress, resulting in deliberate displays of distress to gain support of other liberals and their peers' view that the most upset person is the most important

When classic liberal see SJWs demands for exclusion, censorship and restrictions, they tend to create post-rational explanations / justifications for censorship and violence because they share the same official ideologies / sympathies. It is akin to how moderate Muslims justifying and minimizing terrorism because of the same ideological stripe, or at worst, employing the "no true Scotsman" logical fallacy ... like how every violent liberal authoritarian is called an anarchist to deny they share the same group membership as liberals. There is a problem with liberals drawing on compassion on the mother-child model, which leads them to treat victims as infants, assuming they are helpless, empathizing with them regardless of actions or demands. Left wing is not right wing. Right wing authoritarians are low in agreeableness/compassion, which is why you don't see them throwing literal tantrums to gain the moral high ground in an argument and expect accommodation as a result.

I’ve been learning about Jordan Peterson’s case up in Canada for a few weeks now...what’s going on with him is in this country too - fight back.

I know an SJW.

She started out as a daughter of an Assemblies of God deacon. She and her siblings had a very strict upbringing.

At age 19, she went off to California to be an au pair for a family around San Jose. While there, she got involved in a good church...but also got involved with another woman. She delved into the lesbian lifestyle. She was talked out of it by her church and sent home. Her parents didn’t react well to what happened.

She spent the next few years doing her best to ‘follow the rules’ of Christianity. She got involved in church again. However, when she related her story to another woman in the church, she suddenly found herself cut off by people who now viewed her as a possible threat because she’d lived a ‘sinful lifestyle’. She was thrown out of pretty much every ministry she was involved in with the church. She still maintained that she was a Christian.

She went back to college, spent two years at a college in our hometown, then decided to attend Purdue University. She was going for her doctorate in Philosophy. While there, after many conversations with friends, she decided to “do what made her happy” and embrace the lesbian lifestyle once again. She began to attend a “welcoming” church that didn’t call sin what it was. She eventually did get her doctorate, and she is now teaching philosophy in the Midwest. She has completely dis-associated herself from church, calls herself an atheist, and embraces every extreme left-wing, anti-God, anti-white male cause she can find.

She has abandoned her family and most of her friends from her hometown. I tried to stick by her as a friend, but her rhetoric just became too much.

That’s one person’s story.

I can’t find the article, but it compared the Peoples Temple of Jim Jones (later Jonestown) to SJWs and found an almost perfect overlap in their beliefs. Many people think that Cults are used by intelligence services to test out population control studies. I think the article was on Katehon.com. Jim Jones was from San Francisco and had ties to the CIA. A few days after Jonestown massacre two of Jim Jones friends were killed, Harvey Milk and Moscone.

SJW’s come from a college financing system that places no demands on what students do with the money. We wouldn’t have all these stupid gender studies courses and professirs if they weren’t getting billions of dollars in free money

Themes:

Two types:
1. PC Authoritarians
2. PC Egalitarians

Trait agreeableness or compassion, which derives from mother-child pair-bond.

PC Authoritarians have low verbal cognitive ability and have high inter-personal disgust sensitivity [need to wash hands after shaking, won't share a drink]. Disgust helps pass on cultural norms. Rules passed down by parents, e.g. notion of white racism. Includes high anxiety, mood or personality disorder - clinical diagnosis.

Low tolerance for nuance or unknown and desire for clear rules everything black and white.

Inventors of right wing authoritarianism denies the existence of left wing authoritarianism, a claim of political correctness.

Developed based upon attitude or belief statements by 100s of subjects.

PC Egalitarian predicted by attendance at seminar to proselytize some sort of PC belief, higher verbal cognitive ability and higher level of compassion - more along the lines of a "classic" liberal.

PC authoritarians act through censorship and punitive measures. Egalitarians try to explain and justify the positions of the authoritarians - transference of mother-child bond to the political sphere.

Moderator: I grew up in an era where you got a snowflake medal for everything you did.[LOL!]

Left wing authoritarians and right-wing authoritarians share many traits, but are differentiated on the "agreeableness" trait.

Both left and right wing authoritarians are after "purity" one through inclusion (and enforcement) the other through exclusion and isolation.

PS Jordan Peterson has made a name for himself by refusing to adopt nongendered and transgendered pronouns [he is a University of Toronto].

What is an SJW?

Are these people who use acronyms attempting to impress fellow millenials and 20-something snowflakes?

SJW - college - educated, bored, welfare-sucking, unemployable freeloaders that are bored and actually believe what their liberal commie professors told them.

Nothing worse than having to read an article to learn something and the author never comes out and explains what they're talking about.

You may assume everyone knows what's on your mind, but please explain to the rest of us what the heck is SJW? Why not just write it out?

1) "Social Justice Warriors" are young people, aren't they? Nobody in middle age is going to spend weeks camped out on an Occupy site. So to what extent are the characteristics of SJWs associated with youth, and to what extent will they fade as SJWs age?

2) The survey seems wildly biased in favor of liberals' positive self-image of themselves. How many liberals really are "compassionate" and "open" and how many are just acting out the prejudices and preconceptions of their own social group?
