"Check your privilege" is so pretentious I have to stop there and comment before I go to anything else. Yeah we're all different, with different social pressures and the like. The ones who've "had it better" in life still didn't pick their parents, skin color or gender. One cannot hold another's upbringing and environmental/societal pressures against them and at the same time claim to say they're "fighting" for other folk's inequality. We're all unequal, it sucks, its not just society but genetics that also come in to play there and not all of us are able to willingly look down on ourselves just because we might have had it easier because of an accident of birth. That's a bit over the line.
Now calling yourself a warrior for something that isn't a war, isn't clearly defined on who or what exactly is the enemy leads to just breeding contempt for those who don't "see it your way". Wars are bad things, the last resort when all other avenues have failed, and by then the real fighting already started. You don't want to be a warrior, no one should. Not if you've actually had to face what that means, or been around someone who's been through it already. This is not even a cold war, its a societal change that can only come about through education. Education that comes from the home, not mandates handed down from above or by committees who sit and think up ways to "diversify" the planet. We're all a group of beings with flaws, tend to screw up and treat others badly because they don't fit in our belief system.
I don't claim to be any smarter than anyone else on the planet, I don't have answers to give on how things can be changed for the better. The part that screws me up most is how volatile some people are when it comes to opposing viewpoints while at the same time these folk clamor for "peace and understanding." Its not at all peaceful to claim to be a warrior.
No, I don't think SJW is a term that means anything other than "look at me, I'm a good person" like owning a Prius or other hybrid seems to do for some folks.
Ye Gods am I sick about hearing this stuff sometimes. Politics in general has done nothing but made me cynical as hell towards politics and people who get involved. There's no more room for healthy debate any longer, its becoming a war yes and it is wrong. It won't turn out well at all in the end. In a war, everyone loses even the victors.
Fighting anything is and always should be the last line of defense, when life and death are on the line and you're either protecting yourself, family or people you care about who are in immediate danger. Otherwise any form of fighting is just aggression translated into physical or verbal violence, both of which can leave scars and both of which are tough to recover from fully. I detest fighting, I detest war of any sort. It solves nothing, does nothing and only makes us weaker as a species when we devolve back to that base instinct. Fuck me... I rant a lot, but I'm just so sick of reading these posts that seem to scream "look at how activist I am."
tl;dr - Look its pretty simple and my point might be muddied by a migraine but if you really want to help people don't worry about what you're called or who the hell knows about it. Do what you can, where you can. Act locally, think locally and try to alter your own environment that way. If everyone took a few minutes to do something they normally wouldn't do every day, the world would start to be a better place. Stop reading bumper stickers and slogans, stop jumping on bandwagons and chilling in internet sounding boards. Be your own person, don't label yourself and if you want to make a difference, lead by example. Thats the best we can all do IMO, be the best people we can be and hope others see it and try to emulate it.
