Not sure how using a term is part of the problem. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Social Justice Warrior Are people who use the term BLM part of the problem? Are people who use the phrases "the left" or "the right" part of the problem? These phrases are simply meant to identify a group of people with similar ideologies.

Animal abuse is a good example. Some people who are dog or cat lovers value their pets' lives more than human lives, but for a majority of people, they probably value human life over animal life. If you truly want to make a change, become an elected official in whatever capacity you can, get involved with your community by volunteering, going to rallies, educating yourself, etc. Work on the issues you think are important first. Whining and arguing about this stuff on a video game internet forum isn't going to do anything. Get involved if you want to make a change. Stop whining about it and go do something (I'm not singling you out btw. I'm generalizing what I've seen in this thread and irl. "You" is a general you referring to everyone.) Oh I totally agree in this. I'm not whining, btw, just stating the fact of the matter. I have a great life outside of here, just enjoy stirring the pot.

If you're (not you personally) wearing tags from a poor country, yet preaching the social justice call, you're a hypocrite in my book, it's obvious that you only preach when it's convenient. That's why I'd like to see some tags. Everyone, goodnight, stay safe, chat with you all tomorrow, love you all, hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wink wink Anyways You know for a fact I own shirts that are made cruelly (because we all literally do) otherwise you wouldn't back this rhetoric. I end up buying the majority of my clothing from thrift stores. I don't care if they are originally made cruelly, I am reusing something that potentially would be discarded and create more waste in the world.

You’re arguing against a character you have constructed and ascribing those aspects to me. OK then.

You just dismissed evidence of mistreatment of people and animals so that you can justify continuing to shop as these places. And no, I did not. I said the one case is from 15 years ago. Can’t you find anything more recent than that? Because I can, regarding CFA. Don’t tell me to apply my values when it comes to prolonged and current patterns of abuse to a one-off incident. In the other case, I sought better alternatives, and avoided worse alternatives. Better was not available, that sucks, it does not make me a hypocrite. Still waiting on my 80%.

Part of my action is choosing where to allocate my resources (money) in ways that are as ethical as I can, with a view to what a company does at large with funds they control. Demanding that I be 100% perfect in that because I do something is not your right. No, it is not all or nothing. You don’t have to do anything. Neither do you have to complain that I do.

I only corrected you because you were being a little smart ass correcting one of my misuses of "their". I'll have to tie up the score in the future. You're up 2-1. I'll get your 80% when I have more time to look stuff up. It's really not hard. You'll just choose to ignore it anyways though and come up with excuses for why you can still shop at your places. How dare you insult SJWs as made up characters. You just offended several folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-off incidents are not long-standing and current patterns of bad acting. Is Target still buying from Sparboe Farms? No, it “immediately discontinued its relationship with the company.” That’s the right thing to do. They got called on something, and addressed the complaint. Does Target still donate to MN Forward? Still support companies who lobby for business policy but also support anti-gay politicians? Or did they “set up a review process for future political donations”? They apologized, acknowledged, and addressed the issue. I don’t think you even read the stuff you cite. Do points 1 and 3 cancel each other out? I am in favor of transgender rights so that one’s a non-starter. For goodness’ sake. I put Target on my list because I do go there. Just to be honest. I don’t really like big box stores in general but Target happens to be convenient. Are they perfect, maybe nobody is but they’re better in the round than Walmart, et al. I didn’t expect to be a bigger fan of them at the end of the day, but here we are. Thanks for the links. They really do listen to people and take concerns seriously and work on problems when they come to light. What a better world this would be if everyone did that. You think this makes me a hypocrite? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why don't you go to chick fil a anymore? They don't donate to those 2 organizations who were against gay marriage anymore. Stay woke brotato chip. Re-edumacate yourself.
