In response:
Yeah, because it’s everyone’s job to educate you and if they’re rude, you are totally justified in spreading misinformation about them. Also, applying this to situations other than the one he is specifically talking about is offensive as fuck and very derailing.
Did you consider that they were sick of the dozenth American asshole saying this shit to them and finally snapped? Did you consider that the British government fucking starved and oppressed Irish people throughout most of recorded history? Did it occur to you that someone said “I’m from this country,” and you responded with “oh, I’m going to visit this completely separate country that colonized and terrorized yours, but I’m going to act like they’re the same!”
Educate yourself or stop whining when people are fed up with your ignorant bullshit. That’s what fucking google is for.
You know, I can understand being pissed with the "deliberate spread of misinformation" thing, but what pisses
me off is the double standard SJWs have where, if the 'cause' is right, you can be a nasty piece of shit in response to a simple mistake because you're pissed off, but if they respond to
your nastiness with nastiness of their own because
they're pissed off, it's somehow completely and utterly wrong. I also hate how SJWs always insist that you
must assume that the reason they're rude and nasty is because they just
happened to be one hair away from snapping, and not because they're just unpleasant people.
It seems SJWs on tumblr have a pretty sweet set up going on: criminalize words like "stupid", "dumb", "idiot", and others to stunt the terms the opposition can use, warp the term "trigger" so they don't have to deal with anything uncomfortable, and warp the term "tone policing" so they have unquestionable license to be as nasty, mean spirited, and spiteful as they want with little to no consequence without actually doing anything constructive other than making themselves feel good.
I can't remember where I heard it, and I don't remember the actual quote, but a saying about the bullied becoming the bullies they've always wanted to be springs to mind.
(God dammit, just came across an essay length post about the word "dumb" and why it's wrong and "intellect privilege", and just
fuck tumblr. Fuck tumblr.)
Edit: I just realized; I wonder if the "tone policing" SJ crowd will fight with the "'dumb' is wrong" SJ crowd. After all, arguing that these terms are wrong and "intellect privilege" doesn't seem to mesh well with the "it's not my job to educate you, *insert insult*" philosophy.
