    Or to paying attention to context. 
    which has its challenges in text form, without body language and tonal cues we get from in person conversation.

    so either take as good as you give ir take your ball and go home.

    frankly I prefer you take up the letter. 900 posts roughly in 3 weeks. 50-100 added something to the coversation.......

    Why is SJW pejorative?

    Seems more like it should be an honorific to me. 

    Seriously, what's wrong with fighting for social justice? If we think something is wrong with that, then why the fuck even bother with anything anymore?
    Because it is...

    Look the term’s history up. It’s meant to imply something other than being an actual supporter of social justice.

    I think "warrior" is supposed to be sarcastic in the term "Social Justice Warrior." "Social Justice Advocate" would be a more complimentary way of saying it.
    So now we're allowing hate-filled white supremacist redneck fuckwads to be our lexicographers? Awesome.
    I don't know. I'm just saying when someone uses that term today, that's what I think they're saying. Mickeyrat laid out how it was complimentary in the time of Martin Luther King. Probably because he actually was a Social Justice WARRIOR. Dude died for his beliefs. That's different than some white liberal of today tweeting at Trump that he doesn't care about the LGBTQ community. Maybe the "hate-filled white supremist redneck fuckwards" are suggesting to those people to put their money where their mouth is, and try to make a real difference like an MLK, rather than talking a good game online and doing nothing else.

    Yea, like you were comparing me to nazis is a compliment. I don't consider calling someone a SJW calling them a name or as having a negative connotation but that's just me.

    So pointing out that some union members have health coverage, for which they have fought as an benefit of their employment, is now offensive to those union members who don't have health coverage? Particularly as Buttigieg himself pointed out that they "fought hard", and yet she argue against this by saying that they "had to fight like hell". 

    I fail to see how that makes sense. Perhaps some context is lost in the snippet of the tweet that you've posted. 
    You might want to put a little more emphasis on her last sentence. 
    Where is the evidence that Buttigieg has caused an injury with his tweet?
    You're asking the communist that?
    It would be better for Nelson to answer that, but sure, do your anarchic best.
    You can find her on Twitter.

    For me, the answer is simple: the very existence of (any) healthcare for profit is an injury to many. 
    1) I’m not on twitter

    2) Sure, but tangential to what he said in the tweet. 
    1) Well, I'm not going to speak for her, so......

    2) You have a weird definition of "tangent." 
    Nelson herself isn't objecting to for profit health care, she (appears to be) objecting to the fact that not all union members have it, and claiming that Buttigieg said they did, which he did not. 
    You asked me a question; I responded. You then accused my answer of being tangential to Buttigieg's tweet. So, this entire post is a complete non sequitur. 

    I guess that's the sort of answer we get from an anarchist :lol:
    Or someone who can read. 

    It's certainly true that I would not expect to get any sort of written answer from someone who could not read.

    I thought you SJW didn’t look down your noses at the rest of us?
    I'm beginning to think the penultimate line of your signature isn't accurate. 
    Yet another deflection. Congratulations 
    How am I supposed to respond to your name-calling?
    It was you who accused some of us of not being able to read and what name did I call you?
    You called me an SJW--that's a pejorative term. 

    Unless Steven Wilson's middle initial is J.

    Then its the ultimate complement.

    Have you watched the debates?

    He has said he thinks it's the best option...but...not everyone wants it AND Bernie can;t pay for it.  He said in the last debate that a medicare for all who want it plan would first and foremost ensure everyone has coverage (which is the important part no?) and create the public option.  And if it's as good as bernie says and he thinks, people will choose it over time.
