      Moreover, these terms are not inaccurate when applied to groups like Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, Stormfront, etc. Proud Boys have many of the characteristics of a fascist militia like the SA. They're not insults in this context. They're descriptors. 3/

      Moreover, Proud Boys have a history of showing up at antifa rallies spoiling for a fight, beating up antifa whom they manage to successfully bait into striking first, and then claiming "self-defense." This is documented fact, as @DavidNeiwert and many others have reported. 4/

      Proud Boys also have a history of intimidating activists by late night visits to their homes in force. /5https://twitter.com/gwensnyderphl/status/1146160977915908096 …

      THE PROUD BOYS PLANNED THESE TERRORISTIC HOME VISITS VISITS FOR WEEKS. THEY'RE MAKING GUN THREATS. THEY'RE FLYING PEOPLE IN FROM OUT OF STATE. THEY CAME TO OUR HOUSES IN ARMOR. MY FRIEND HAD 4 YOUNG CHILDREN AT HOME. THIS IS TERRORISM. https://twitter.com/gwensnyderPHL/status/1146160387852779521 …

      The goal, of course, is to make activists afraid to be active in their advocacy. 6/https://twitter.com/gwensnyderphl/status/1147570974067441664 …

      So help me think this through, Twitter. I want to attend @Netroots_Nation next week and engage in stuff publicly (like, tweeting about it and stuff). It's in Philly, my city, which was going to be awesome, except now I'm getting stalked by violent white supremacist Proud Boys.

      Back to Mr. Shermer's false equivalency. He's comparing his derisive, sarcastic use of a term made up to mock and dismiss those advocating for social justice in a way he doesn't like with the use of words with actual meanings to historians other than mockery, like "fascist." 7/

      He's using that false dilemma to ask @sbkauffman and me if he should apply a "good faith" principle to fascists the way we think he should apply the principle to those he routinely derisively dismisses as SJWs. 8/

      The answer is, quite obviously, no. Fascists and Nazis like Proud Boys do not act in good faith, as @MarkHoofnagle has pointed out many times. 9/

      Mr. Shermer's false equivalence is also a false dilemma: Either concede that fascists like Proud Boys are operating in good faith as the price for him to stop using SJW derisively, or let him continue, thereby letting him frame "SJWs" as being as bad faith actors as fascists. 10/

      We get it, Mr. Shermer. You view "SJWs" as acting in bad faith, hence your contemptuous, sarcastic use of the term "SJW" to describe them. Maybe you even view them as being as bad as fascist. 11/

      I will own SJW. Yes I am one. My entire career is dedicated to the treatment of trauma, a disease largely spread by social injustice. We keep people alive in defiance of all the systemic violence and racism that has been designed or allowed to persist to hurt our patients.

      I will repeat again for @michaelshermer. People who use "SJW" unironically as a pejorative will likely have a problem with me—and vice-versa.

          People who use SJW as a pejorative are telling you exactly who they are.
