Social Justice Warriors (SJW) trying to co-opt and hijack Libertarianism in Canada!!!

[NewRightLibertarian]

The Students for Liberty astroturf organization is doing this bullshit as well. If it isn't related to Ron Paul and his friendlies, libertarianism has been compromised and turned into a fucking joke.

"Social Justice Warriors" are some of the most stupid shills around. I haven't been on these forums in a long time signed in, I read from time to time, but this SJW crap invading LP of Canada just shows what the LP has been up against. I've tried to be a part of the Republicans back in 2008/2009 and LP since then but the LP of Texas, and the US is not just in disarray but totally inept and clueless.

It's what the Constitution says. There is a uniform standard for all to enjoy justice. The government is required to protect that standard.

I understand that but "The Law" has been twisted and perverted beyond what our forefathers ever envisioned.

I just think cleaning house relevant to laws, lawyers and kops would be a wise move before looking to invoke it...

 

[euphemia]

I don't think we are far apart on this, tod evans. I'm looking strictly at the Constitution and saying libertarians need to pick those principles and talk about those and let the extremists (meaning extreme social liberals and conservatives) apply them however they want without trying to kick people out. The bell curve applies. About 10% will be on either extreme with the other 80% falling somewhere on the continuum. The principles of liberty, as stated in the Constitution would be the talking points and all the rest is noise.

You don't even back up your stance in the threads on the subject. Why muddy other threads by attempting to goad people who disagree you into responding to which you wont even respond anyways? Are you even consistent in your position? Where do you stand on medical marijuana licensing? Is it not better than outright prohibition?

No, I don't agree with the licensing or regulation of any drug. I am a consistent libertarian.

Fair enough, I think it is an illogical position, I think there are many more principles in play here than 'is licensing and regulation wrong', and I think liberty would be better served if you just choose to abstain from such licensing and regulation instead of attempting to shape government such that other individuals could not benefit from the relaxations in force, but if you can only see the world through black and white I can respect your position.

Maybe not seeing the world through black and white is the definition of a SJW. If that is the case I will wear the SJW flag proudly, while condemning these fools in Canada.

"Social Justice" is a code word for coercion. It is not libertarian or freedom-oriented in the slightest.

SJW bullshit is incompatible with libertarianism.

This is what SJW's do. They infiltrate, co-opt, then fucking destroy everything.

Bingo. And some libertarians are so fucking stupid that they are rolling out the red carpet for them to do so. In fact, I think it's being deliberately pushed to destroy us. I suspect that's why the phony scumbags the Koch bros are funding Students for Liberty, and Jeff Tucker got paid god knows how much to spew his asinine bullshit about 'humanitarian libertarianism.'

The petition to remove Lauren as a candidate is being surpassed by the petition to reinstate her as a candidate.

Going by that definition these feminist are not SJW. It was poor leadership that sounds to have made the decision to suspend this candidate, not coercion.

The point is the SJWs and feminists both want coercion. Which is why they are infiltrating libertarianism to destroy the movement.

 

[AuH20]

SJWs carve out little holes that become bigger and bigger with each passing day. They are like termites.

 

[ThePaleoLibertarian]

I knew something like this would happen. Any movement that is not properly right wing will inevitably become infested with leftism. It was only a matter of time, and if you think it's only a Canadian problem, you're going to be very surprised. This is what SJWs do. They invade a subculture that neither has nor wants them, demand said subculture conform to their narratives, claim any resistance to them is bigotry and harassment, then proceed to destroy everything that made the subculture good in the first place.

Just look at what they're trying to do to the world of videogames. Look at the damage that feminists like Cathy Reisenwitz have caused already to the libertarian movement. Do not let these people in, do not give them one inch, not one centimeter! They will eat everything if you let them in, like the termites they are. They're coming for the liberty movement, and most libertarians are woefully ignorant about just how destructive these people can be.

Coercion is not the main goal of the SJW. Instead, the want to create a culture where any opinion or narrative other than their own is shouted down, and the people who hold those views are berated and shamed into silence, and their lives are ruined if they refuse to pipe down. The fight against social justice is the front line of the culture war.

The trouble with some libertarians is that they sign up to a lot of positive rights based nonsense,, which allows them to be co-opted by the left wing.

There are some around here to this day.

Yes, and not just here, in nearly every circle of libertarian, anarcho-capitalist, and tea party libertarian groups. As long as you are aware, you can quickly spot SJW speech and respond accordingly.
