The SJW mind virus is really scary because it's spreading - and it's spreading because it's evolved to a point where it's become immune the standard antibiotic arguments. Its success is due to its adaption to pressures - empathy and reason - that killed what preceded it.

Our continual sanitation of the SJW's ancestors has given rise to this super resilient form. But we sanitize a lot of damaging ideas - why was this the one to evolve into a supervirus? Did we fail to sanitize all the way? Does it have high mutation rate?

The SJW mentality has a lot in common with religious doctrine. Both have evolved in a way that spread quickly and dug in deep roots. I think I'm gonna write an article about the aspects of both these frameworks that make them self-propagating and difficult to dislodge.

But SJWs are exerting the power, that'd make them wrong
-
They just adjust the scale of power from the individual to society to continue the claim of less power.

What's the line that separates a person from "far-left" and "SJW"? I've seen a lot of people parrot radical SJW talking points, for instance, without articulating this "power = bad" dynamic

There are a bunch of sincere marxist types who utterly despise the cheap, populist, left-identity-politics that goes by shorthand "sjw". DeBoer and Rensin, i think were both examples who got into fights w/ fellow-lefties over the subject and were shunned for it.

I think this misses the point, but in an interesting way. I made what I think is the opposite point earlier today, and I'd be very much interested in whether this counts as an instance of SJW-infection in your view:https://twitter.com/FPallopides/status/1002622823297404928 …

The SJW "trick" is better understood in terms of the mimetic mechanism as explored by Rene' Girard. This is actually a reoccurrence of primitive religion, not dogmatic religion as you suggest. There is nothing here not already explored in Dostoyevsky. http://www.kirkcenter.org/bookman/article/why-secular-liberalism-isnt-liberal/#.VVQYC08c2W0.twitter …

this whole assault on the SJW straw man is just a way for the privileged and lucky to feel good about maintaining their privilege and luck.

I've written articles arguing in favor of acknowledging privilege, and I'm using the term SJW because I don't know of a better one. I can make up a new term if that helps - "New Religion". I have a conception of the type of mentality that makes up New Religion.
