We need to come up with a term for something: if the left has SJWs, what do we call the right's equivalent?

No we don't. I find SJW to be an incredibly irritating term. I guess their analog is racist/misogynist/homophobic assholes, but we don't need a term for them.

Because you won't admit it has a proper application. Well-meaning people are still capable of taking their position to an extreme deserving of mockery, which is where a label like SJW comes in handy.

It absolutely has a proper application, but given that it's already being applied to everyone to the left of Genghis Khan it has already lost all use.

We live in a poisonous time.

hmm. whenever i've come across a person who i feel the SJW tag applies to, it's to somebody who's not actually well-meaning. it's usually a fake who is trying to act cool as freak on social media

The phenomenon of way more people complaining about something happening than the thing actually happening continues today with Fidel Castro praise. Personally, I've seen zero praise for the man and about 10 people bitchibg about stupid liberals praising him.

Uh, Justin Trudeau and Jill Stein.

Uh, Justin Trudeau and Jill Stein.

Wasn't trying to say it didn't happen at all. Just there was way more complaining about people praising him than actual people praising him. Stein is a nobody so really only Trudeau or was there more? The amount of complaining I heard and saw the other day would have only been warranted of way more prominent people were saying he was a great guy.

Apparently that retard Kaepernick praised him as well

That type of general strident dismissal is what is frustrating to a lot of the Cuban community.  There is a giant gulf of ignorance (especially on the left, for some reason which is bizarre because they credit themselves on facts and science) regarding what Castro and his regime have actually done. What Kaepernick said is what Obama has thought too.  People don't realize what Castro actually did.

I mean, Castro hijacked a revolution and said "hey guys, just kidding. No free elections. I'm really a communist" and executed or jailed anyone who opposed him while taking everybody's excrement. Everyone subscribed to communism except him, which he used to live an insanely extragavant lifestyle. He stayed in power for almost 60 years, and there are were world leaders praising the guy.  It's scary how many young people in general subscribe to the "hey guys, maybe things have changed" routine. THey've obviously never met a 80 year old Cuban man.

Because Castro and Pierre Trudeau were friends, Justin has known him all of his life. Just as when you or I go there will be plenty of people happy to stomp down the dirt, one hopes that we will have retained some friends willing to remember the good in us.

I don't know enough about the history of Cuba or Castro to have an opinion on the guy personally, but I think the right wing outrage over a simple statement of remembrance for a family friend is - as with most things right now - completely over the top. He isn't going to the funeral and already the mouthpieces are berating him for flipflopping.
