When many hear the term SJW (short for social justice warrior), they think of these authoritarian leftists who are pro-censorship, anti-equality, and just flat out awful people that you’d never want to be friends with. However, that’s just one side of SJW’s.
The truth is that there’s 2 types of SJW’s, we’ll call them authoritarian SJW’s and libertarian SJW’s. Despite being under the same label and having similar base beliefs, these 2 groups are quite different and i’m here to give 5 examples of how.
#1 Freedom of speech
While the auth SJW’s are pro-censorship to the point of tolerating and sometimes even using violence against those they disagree with, lib SJW’s are the exact opposite. While it’s true that they make more exceptions then your average liberal or libertarian, they still believe in the 1st amendment and also typically display a level of pacifism, meaning that they’d never use violence to silence an opposing opinion and would call out anyone who does so.
#2 Equality
While the auth SJW’s couldn’t care less about misandry and anti-white racism, the lib SJW’s genuinely care about ensuring that all groups are equal. For example, i was talking to one of my lib SJW friends about how Ms. Monopoly is misandrist because it suggests that we should pay men less for the same work instead of paying men and women equally and he 100% agreed with me because he knows that sexism is sexism, regardless of gender. Try complaining about Ms. Monopoly to an auth SJW and you’ll just be called an alt-right misogynist pig who’s too scared that a woman might make more than him.
#3 Politicization
While the auth SJW’s love to politicize everything, the lib SJW’s only politicize what needs to be politicized. A perfect example of this is the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters. While auth SJW’s praised the film for having an all female cast of Ghostbusters and called anyone who dared criticize the film sexist, lib SJW’s didn’t.
#4 Communism
While both types want communism, auth SJW’s seem to want full on communism whereas lib SJW’s want anarcho-socialism. Lib SJW’s are smart enough to know that a world where we need no law is a perfect one and that we should strive for it. Meanwhile, auth SJW’s believe that control and force are the way to go.
#5 Caring
To lib SJW’s a victimless crime shouldn’t be a crime at all, no matter how controversial it is. Meanwhile, auth SJW’s don’t care if there’s a victim. If a woman shoots porn, she’s sexist because she’s (not) a tool of the patriarchy to objectify women. If a man has sex with his disabled girlfriend, he’s sexist because he’s (not) fetishizing her disability. If a white girl identifies as black, she’s racist because she’s (not) making fun of trans people.
In conclusion, authoritarian SJW’s and libertarian SJW’s are very different creatures and libertarian SJW’s are clearly superior.
