[Sargon of Akkad] Social Justice Losers

[Kirika Akatsuki]

While I see how this is relevant commentary to today's attitudes, the topic name (and the video itself) is a bit bait-y, and given YCM's general attitudes towards these sorts of topics I would advise against constantly bringing up this same avenue of discussion in General.  This goes for everyone posting here.

 

That's just, like, my opinion though.  Seeing all these controversial SJW threads here just kind of bums me out.

 

Now, aside from that, Sargon does bring up various valid points, but I will leave my personal feelings at the door for the sake of the topic itself.

It's like a Misc Fad gone post count

I originally wanted to post this video, but didn't because of the title.

 

Honestly I know how you feel. I hang out on KiA subreddit all the time and the boys there advised I take a break off KiA and the like for a couple months at a time otherwise all of the stories about SJW's would burn me out and make me depressed. Surprisingly, they were right. These SJW's are a blight but the more I look it up and see it, the more I get depressed at how this world has tailspinned. I agree that general should calm down in this regard.

my 2 cents. not enough to make change, but i'll drop it anyways. also, you cut down the posted video times from hour+ to 15 minutes and got multiple responses. so i was correct!

 

[spoiler=title's definitely best bait, but yeah.]

most of the clips are essentially racists claiming that non racists are racist because race. matter of fact, the idiot "debater" in the first clip to bring up godwins law may as well have claimed hitler was right. the second clip was essentially trying to claim they should oppress white people because white people aren't oppressed.  this is the kind of ignorance that's being pushed in higher learning institutions. it might be depressing, but looking away doesn't solve the problem, unless of course, all non SJW's, and any SJW's with self respect decide to shun this kind of behavior among the ranks of those who claim to fight for the freedoms of others. and who claps clicks for those kinds of points?

clearly enjoying oppressing the kid with dreads, while claiming that he's culturally appropriating. and you see ALL the emotion drain as she notices (to my joy) that her hypocrisy was exposed

 

to be fair to the cuckman though, he likely thinks he's got a valid point, i feel good when i think i've got a strong argument, for whatever alternate reasons i may have. but... yeah, i'm done. sargon says it better than i have here.

 

there's really nothing to discuss here though. the people in the video are blatant racists, that's all there is to it.

I find people who speak their minds refreshing. Conversely, people who shamelessly plug YouTube vloggers to speak their minds for them aren't refreshing, they're stagnant. The OP doesn't even attempt to state what about this video resonated with them, or by extension what about it should resonate with us. In lieu of such graces that I'm perhaps guilty of taking for granted I'll work with what I have. 

 

Nothing about Sargon of Akkad's performance here impressed me, to the point that I'd think this video should be as detrimental to himself as to anyone he's criticizing. One moment he's exposing the evils of reverse racism, the next he's calling someone a mongoloid, presumably oblivious to the word's etymology. One moment he's chiding people for irrelevance, the next he throws his own irrelevant-straw-man-ad-hominem-cheap-shot in "don't clap though we'll be triggered". One moment: "What the f*** is this fruit loop wearing?", the next: SMIRKING IS BULLYING. 

 

He might've been a little more convincing if he followed his own rules, but then he wouldn't be half as entertaining, would he? Alas, it wouldn't at all be difficult for to do a Sargon of Akkad-style exposé of Sargon of Akkad using his own rhetoric against him, rendering him just another blatant hypocrite.

How exactly is he a hypocrite? Nothing he said in this video renders his point null. and while he insulted them, he also addressed them properly, including directly dismantling any presented arguments. For the most part, he's criticizing them on the basis of them actively being discriminatory towards another race (whites) while accusing said whites of doing so towards them. As for the insults he makes, that one "debater" telling the other guy to kill himself just because he's white deserves little more than insults either way, but even so he did address the statement made before insulting him. So saying he's making ad hominem strawmen doesn't really work here, he did address all presented arguments, so the insults don't actually count as an ad hominem or strawmen, they're just insults. I can fully understand not liking that he insults people, but that doesn't really make him a hypocrite considering he isn't advocating insult-free or non-offensive discussion, he's advocating (for the most part in this video) not discriminating against, or arguing against people based on race. He's also not arguing based on insults, he's insulting after (and sometimes while) arguing. He is making actual rebuttals, they just so happen to have insults in or around them. So while it's undeniable that he's insulting them, he's not rebutting their arguments (when arguments are actually presented) based solely upon insults. he does go a little harder on the tiny guy at the end, but at 13:07, he does deconstruct the argument that the little guy makes by pointing out that the paramedic doesn't discriminate on who he saves, and the said paramedic also saves far more lives than the little guy ever has. he's not just insulting, he's rebutting before and after each insult. in addition, even some of his insults do hold ground, his claim that the little guy is being incredibly rude to the paramedic hold ground considering it's not the paramedic who gets in his face, but the other way around.

 

I'll admit this though, it isn't his best work considering he does use an absurd amount of insults, but it is not so weak that you can dismiss it by calling him a hypocrite. looking closer shows that while he is insulting, he does continue to make sound arguments.
