    It is significant that the people who get most angry with me are people whom I agree with on goals but disagree with on approach.

        And that their response is not to argue with my approach but to redefine my goals for me & vilify me for them.

        The idea someone can share their goal of gender/racial/LGBT equality but think a different approach more ethical & productive is threatening

        Therefore I must be told repeatedly that I believe in white supremacy, the inferiority of women & the persecution of trans people.

        And that my motivations are hatred, wanting to please men, wanting to maintain my privilege, wanting to make money (somehow)

        They must know on some level that this is not true. They wouldn't throw the accusations at me if it were. They're meant to sting.

        There is no intention to show me why I am wrong in my ideas, just misrepresent them as something awful so I feel afraid to talk about them.

        I have much more respect for people who think my approach is wrong but acknowledge that we share the same goals.

        Even if they advocate the illiberal, identitarian, culturally relative,systems of privilege, sins of the fathers approach I'm so worried abt

        we can have a conversation if we both think that the other is well-intentioned & sincere but getting the approach horribly wrong.

        Conversation yesterday about what makes an 'SJW' & I really think a key component is the former misrepresenting, attacking attitude.

        That's what makes the 'warrior.' This kind of behaviour is found on the extremes of the other side as well. Its a characteristic of zealots.

        because goals no longer have simple solutions like abolishing unjust laws so the self-righteousness & purity tests are most of the game now

        Yes it is. Ideological opponents, don't bother as already lost. Someone agrees? We need your full cooperation with method or traitor

        And the reason for this seems to be either a 'resource' issue (limited people fighting for a thing) and/or zero-sum game mentality

        Must agree: "Helen, stop arguing with arseclowns on the internet & get some sleep & writing done!" We agree on goals, but the approach?
