LWDT 7: The Earth and Heavens Tremble.

[First American Empire]

How I'm wondering what a social justice wizard would be like.

They're referred to as SJMs, but:

Social Justice Mages are your primary DPS class. They work with philosophy, law, and public relations, and, as such, they need very high Int to be effective. Their job is to attempt to do the real heavy lifting in trying to shift the ground in the society. I mean, obviously, that's what EVERYBODY is doing -- that's the point -- but they're the main DPS in it. SJMs include people like bell hooks, Lawrence Lessig, Justice Sotomayor, and the EFF. Anita Sarkeesian is the ultimate SJM. If the bad guys are specifically trying to get you, you're probably an SJM-- they try to get Brianna Wu and Zoe Quinn.

For reference, the article that's from is here: https://xiphias.livejournal.com/788434.html

I'm a Social Justice Warrior since I'm good at tanking and drawing aggro away from others, Grenartia is a good example of a Social Justice Mage, Torra is easily a Social Justice Rogue because of her skill at "Satire and Mockery", and for Social Justice Cleric, who better than Valentine Z?

It would be easier to create that kind of environment if the rich weren't hoarding a vast amount of the wealth in the country.

The rich reinvest their wealth. If the common folk saved their money, rather than be encouraged to spend it by Keynesian economists, that environment would exist already.

The common people don't make enough money to save it, and if they didn't spend it, then the entire economic system would collapse. Do you know anything at all about the modern economy?

[Pasong Tirad]

The more I read about the appalling conditions in companies and how they hoard wealth in tax havens, I become more convinced that cooperatives are the solution.

Cooperatives and workplace democracy should definitely be the endgoal. For now, stronger unions, regulations that make collective bargaining easier, and pass laws against union busting.

If the common people saved their money like the rich do, there would be no more economy. Our economy is built off consumer spending. All the investment in the world won't matter if there are no customers. The rich do nothing with their fortunes, and their wealth should be given to people who will actually make use of it.

[Pasong Tirad]

The rich reinvest their wealth.

Lol where

[Kowani]

The rich reinvest their wealth.

Lol where

Obviously, in Ancapistan.

Is that why EA has a history of hiding millions of dollars in tax havens and pressuring workers to work overtime without pay?

The AAA gaming industry is the greatest argument against capitalism there is.

Is thanking god for Jim Fucking Sterling Son considered praxis?

Also, companies like EA reporting record profits and still laying off hundreds of workers because their stock-holders wanted more.

Oh, and let's not forget that EA did to Visceral.

It better be or I'll purge this whole thread.

Well, if you're a Koch, you invest it in PR and marketing... I mean "think thanks", that teach poor people that you're actually the good guys and you deserve every penny and their fellow poors are scum.

[Liriena]

I'm also gonna echo Jim Sterling in saying that I'm still pissed for what they did to Zhang He.

[Pasong Tirad]

Thank God big boss George Soros actually reinvests his wealth by paying all of us lefty shitposters - and above minimum wage, too.

I'll talk to management. That's illegal under our collectively bargained agreements.

Because Georgy believes in strong unions.

Historians would say that history does repeat itself without external influence, much in the way that an object acting under classical mechanical conditions would follow Newton's first law.

Indeed.

Not to tout my credentials. However, as someone with a Ph.D. in sociology and history, I can confidently say that any historian who would make that claim among other historians would be assumed to be making a joke.

Quality is unimportant if the majority of the population can’t access it.

In the U.S., there are two kind of medicine: medicine for the masses and medicine for the wealthy. The first type is very bad, but the second type isn't that great either.

The worst bit about being a double agent is that I'm only paid in icepicks and lengthened knife blades sent through the post.

I always you knew a rotten Trotsky killer.

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

Yes. Every collective contains individuals. That's what I'm saying.

I believe that my point soared over your head, then.

I am pretty dumb like that, ngl.

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

But are you an SJW or do you just support social justice?

This could have been the worst discussion here ever if it wasn't co-opted by comrades talking about D&D classes. Well done.

In what direction were you worried it could have gone?
