Board academics of twitter aint got no jobs in the summer and are tired of reading after crushingly brutal course evals, so they don't bother reading Frost or Stoker and immediately agree with Kendizor. Stoker, Frost, and Erickson, all women, are called misogynists and rape apolgists.
big lol @ academics if this is true

self righteous unkind people
this sounds right but WHY unkind??, seems like most of the WARRIORZ i know are hella kind, it kinda goes w/ their interest in justice in the first place (say, justice-as-compassion)
― j., Saturday, 30 January 2016 02:57 (eight years ago) link
i think desire for justice is sometimes more about an interest in fairness and order than it is about actually caring about people, feel like the left attracts a lot of very heady people who have a deep investment in being right
having said that idk if you can truly be said to care about people if you dont desire justice for them, and of course im not claiming everyone fits that description or their arent shades of grey etc
― lag∞n, Saturday, 30 January 2016 03:15 (eight years ago) link
and of course the left has a long and often comic occasionally tragic history of internal ideological struggles

there's a kind of "moral absolutism" inherent to post-enlightenment politics of both the right and left (cf. reinhart koselleck's "critique and crisis") that makes compassion and justice not exactly opposites but not entirely overlapping either.
but "social compassion warrior" probably wouldn't catch on as well.
― ryan, Saturday, 30 January 2016 03:47 (eight years ago) link
idk I get confused whenever someone brings up the enlightenment. the way Twitter constantly streams real-time, seems like it's easier 'be right' than to be kind when talking politics

Heh well played but even then yeah, there are better options than twitter for this, I mean twitter usage objectively makes u an awful person so why wouldn't u seek alternatives

the idea that twitter "makes" you do cliched twitter shit is silly imo. you can be cognizant of what people do and just choose not to. i don't have to quit having a couple beers a week because alcoholics exist. i don't have to leave ilx because lj exists (although it's tempting sometimes).

@ggreenwald The percentage of professional punditry that is based on and shaped by fights with random people on Twitter is very high & rapidly growing.
