It's more about hating bad SJWs.
These people /pol/ find do not invalidate these causes by themselves, rather they weaken it by offering examples of where things could go wrong. This obviously happens because in these circles there is no way anymore to practice any sort of censorship, there is no way to tell to annoying people to just shut up and assist the cause from behind the scene. It was possible to do so in Europe 50 years ago, when there were still communist political authorities, but now it's the far west, so who the fuck are you to tell me to shup up? That's the logic.
I wish these people could just find the dignity of admitting their own impossibility ofncontributing to the cause publicly, and voluntarily hide.

That crazy red-haired feminist who screamed "YOURE OPPRESSING ME" and the Hugh Mungus one did more damage than any recent CIA psy-op.

>This is a moral judgement.
It's a epistemic judgement. There is an argument, he takes it and trivialize it through techniques that I do not respect (i've mentioned being literal about parts that are not meant to be literal and cherrypicking datas, at times he will just straight-up lie about them).

>When Shapiro (rightly or wrongly) puts forward an argument that is hard to refute but gives you the heebee jeebees nonetheless you fall back on a polemic against all his "rhetorical techniques".

At this point you're just making shit up.

>Step one would be to undermine Shapiro's facts if you ca.
>Step two would be to illustrate where Shapiro one of Shapiro's arguments is in fact merely rhetorical posturing.

I've literally told you multiple times that I'll do so as soon as I'll get home. Can you read?

>All you've done is assassinate his character (which is always inherently a moralization) in the most vague and insubstantial way imaginable because you're lazy.
>tfw this guy thinks he's smart
pic related, you're funny but your existence is enough for me to feel sorrow

>hand The Geneaology of Morals to a friend of mine
>3 weeks later he tells me that he's now redpilled
>tfw this actually happened
>tfw he literally thinks that Putin is a ubermensch

I guess that's on me.

>STEM geniuses are insightful about STEM topics
But they lack the philosophical and human insight to truly appreciate it.
>humanities geniuses are insightful about humanities topics
They know how to be human, but their knowledge of the universe will be limited to pop-sci books and, in general, over-generalizations.

>tfw human lives are too short

>tfw actually a commie
>tfw genuinely believe in most of the main progressive causes people always bitch about on 4chan

>tfw even though you genuinely believe in all of this, and find great pleasure in reading related literature and talking about them with people who really know their shit, you really can't stand 99% of the leftists I've met during my life. It is certainly a generalization, but it still makes sense to do it: I'm referring ot the clueless leftists, not the well-read, educated, active leftists

I don't know, I just want people to really get tougher, to get an edge. I get it, you're a victim, but should I really be okay with you being ONLY that? Why can't I expect any sort of harshness from you?

I want people to stop being offended and start being self-righteous, even arbitrary. Any sign of weakness in front of transphobia is a loss for the cause itself, I think that a real pragmatic leftist should remain neutral towards it while still fighting it viciously.
The collective goal is okay, but the means everyone is using to reach it are downright pathetic: no one should have the right of being weak.
The Unabomber was mostly right.

I'd love to laugh at you, but that's just sad.
