Rules For SJWs

Since we love a good cause, and violent protests against the evil overlords, we figured it was time to update Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.  After all, that book was written by a white man back in the Dark Ages of the 1970s, when men and women could actually be in the same room together without written consent forms and feminism was about equal pay for equal work (assuming equal educational backgrounds, experience and on-the-job results).

Yes, being a Social Justice Warrior is not easy.  It's a socio-political mine field out there and you have to be careful where you step.  Most of all, it's about being consistent with your message and having integrity in your actions.

What follows is an essential playbook for the modern SJW.  By following these guidelines, you will always have a clear message using the most widely disseminated channels of communication and behave in a way that shows the world you have thoroughly thought out your message and live by it in both letter and spirit.

On with the training!

1. Get a good education - the modern educational system of liberal arts is based on the Greek model, which was, of course, created by white males hundreds of years before Christ.  The Trivium and Quadrivium were considered the most vital skills and knowledge base for a freeman, so that he could rise above any circumstance of birth and take his rightful place among civil society.  This system was further developed by white males during the Roman era into the modern university, which you will want to destroy with pointless and senseless classes like Sexism, Racism and (gag) Education.  With any luck, you will be able to pay for that education with loans through a banking system created by white men in Italy and the Netherlands.

2. Read Karl Marx - One of the most important tasks ahead of you is to read and thoroughly understand the Marxist/Socialist concepts, as laid out in his books Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto.  After all, the best way to fight the white male patriarchal society is to use the political and financial theories of a white male.  Think of it as having insider information.

3. Create pamphlets and posters extolling Marxist/Socialist utopia - Now you are ready to promote your utopian message.  Don't forget that the word utopia (meaning nowhere) was invented by white man Sir Thomas More, for his book based on white man Plato's ideas in his book Republic (in which you live).  You will need cash (thankfully invented by the Chinese) to pay for the printing, which was invented by white man Johannes Gutenberg.  If you got a decent education, then you know how to use Adobe Creative Suite, founded by two white men John Warnoc and Charles Geschke, to do the layout for the digital presses, which were in turn created by white guys at Iris Graphics, and now owned by Eastman Kodak, which was started by a white man.  If your work is good enough, then you might be able to make a buck or two in the free capitalist market, which was developed by a bunch of white guys.


4. Charge mobile devices - Before heading out of the house, you will want to charge your smartphone and other communications devices.  Remember that alternating current was developed by Nikola Tesla, a white man, and that the cell phone was invented by Martin Cooper, a white man, and that the telephone itself was invented by white man Alexander Graham Bell.  Furthermore, you can thank white man John Bannister Goodenough for that fast-charging, long-lasting lithium ion battery in all your devices.  Of course, the smartphone was developed by IBM, a company founded by white men, in 1992.  You'll need your devices to take photos (invented by French white guy Nicéphore Niépce) and/or video (created by Willard Boyle and George Smith, a couple of white men).

5. Practice Public Speaking - Oratory and rhetoric are fine skills, developed to an art form by a bunch of ancient Greek white guys, as you could probably tell by the etymology of those two words, based on your quality education.  Enunciation and diction (both concepts developed by Roman white guys) are key to effective public speaking.  If you achieve a high level of skill in this area, you will be able to motivate and educate your gender non-conformist, racially ambiguous fans to cast off the evil white patriarchy that has done nothing for your or them, except keep you oppressed.  As you speak clearly and concisely to your audience, don't forget that the rights to assemble and protest were formulated by a bunch of oppressive French and British white guys during that despicable period in patriarchal history called the Enlightenment.  Also keep in mind that your activities here are part of a long, arduous process begun by a bunch of privileged white British males who conceived of the Magna Carta, which started the centuries-long process of ending the feudal slavery system under privileged white royalty.  Since English is the de facto international language, you will want to use this creation of white folks called Angles, who were an off-shoot of the white folks called Teutans, and which has been added to and modified by Latin, Greek and French, all languages created by other brands of white folks.

6. Social Media - One of the cheapest and most effective means to get your Marxist/Socialist message out to a waiting world is to use Social Media.  Facebook (created by white guy Mark Zuckerberg), Google (created by white guys Larry Page and Sergey Brin) and Twitter (created by white guy Jack Dorsey) are ubiquitous and allow Marxist/Socialist SJWs instant access to white-male hating audiences around the world for free.  Social media uses the internet, developed by a bunch of white men at DARPA, and functioning on the TCP/IP system invented by Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn - two very white men - and on HTML language created by another white guy named Tim Berners-Lee.  As you tweet your Marxist/Socialist SJW message, it is likely to use at least one geo-synchronous satellite in the process, devices first conceived of by despised white male author Arthur C. Clark.

7. Broadcast Your Message - In your quest to teach the world of the evils of the evil white patriarchy, you will want to focus on broadcast.  Though other white males are trying hard to make this form of communications technology obsolete with digital streaming, it is nonetheless effective, offering access to diverse, gender-neutral audiences.  Radio is cheap and plentiful and was invented by the slimy white male named Nikola Tesla (again).  Television offers a much broader and hypnotized audience, but due to free-market forces it is much more expensive.  The major news networks that are sympathetic to your cause are, of course, founded, owned and operated by white males, making it the ideal outlet for your anti-white male screeds.  Naturally, television technology was invented by a white guy named Philo T. Farnsworth

8. Travel to protests - As part of your vital SJW activities, you will want to travel to protests around the country, and if possible, around the world.  This is an excellent way to share strategies, trade information and network with like-minded gender-neutral, racially undefined folks just like yourself.  The most common modes of transportation include the bicycle (German white guy Karl von Drais), the automobile (more German white guys named Gottlieb Daimler, Karl Benz and Nicolaus Otto), and the airplane (white brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright).  We can't forget the jet engine, that makes it so much faster and easier to get to those SJW anti-white male rallies (invented by Dr. Hans von Ohain and Sir Frank Whittle).  Lest we forget, there is also the lowly train, invented by notorious white patriarch George Stephenson.

9 Blame white men for everything - This is the trickiest part of your SJW training.  You will be required to lambaste, harangue, chide, censure, chastise, rebuke, objurgate, and criticize the White Patriarchy for all the evils in the world, while still enjoying all the fruits of their labors.  Fortunately, the thousands of SJWs who have gone before you have laid down the groundwork, allowing you to make outrageous claims of abuse, without suffering from an obvious lack of integrity.  You will be greatly helped by the white-owned mass media, as you serve their purposes...for now.  Take full advantage of it while you can.

If you are one of those strange people that prefers to live what you preach, and remain faithful to the message you deliver to the world, then you will have to make do with sitting in a dark cave eating whatever you can catch with your bare hands, and never travelling further than your own two feet can carry you, while remaining completely silent until you have mastered a non-white language that a vast majority of the world will understand - like English, but darker.

Good luck gender non-conforming, racially ambiguous, fully diverse folks!  It's your time, strike while the iron's hot.  And don't forget that the Chinese invented gunpowder, so it's OK to blow stuff up and shoot people.

A Cultural Tidal Wave

There's an intriguing demographic shift going on the the West, and particularly in the US.  As a child of the 1960s, I vividly remember the counter-culture liberals activating against an entrenched conservative elite.  Issues included ecology, economic inequality and the drug culture.  Free sex and feminism - yes, they were once related and exploded due to the Pill - were the catch phrases of my peers in the Baby Boom generation.

The Baby Boom was a unique phenomenon in world cultural history.  A huge group of post-WW2 children grew up in a world where economies always boomed, the US was the undisputed leader of the "Free World", and the majority of the population was no longer rural.

Freed from having to work the farm and milk the cows, and dripping with Daddy's money from the post-war boom, an entire generation was afforded the ability to turn in on itself and navel-gaze.

For better or worse, the liberal Baby Bommers made significant changes to society and culture.  In the US, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was set up, marijuana is finally becoming more acceptable, and a mini-Boom of babies - commonly referred to as GenX - were the results of Boomer influence.

The Boomers also managed to elect two of the most corrupt presidents in US history: Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.  The former was elected because he was young, handsome, loved free sex, smoked dope and played the saxophone; the latter because he was black, which apparently was his only qualification - not to mention that many suspect he was the son of a radical 60s Marxist.

As these generational things do, the Boomers were Marxists because their parents grew up in a time when the US was dabbling in Marxist/Communist philosophy - the 1920s and 1930s, during the Great Depression.  The Boomers echoed, and then carried their parents' dabblings to the extreme.

GenX became the Greed Generation, immortalized in Oliver Stone's Wall Street film, while the Boomers themselves cashed in on organic grocery stores, herbal teas and environmentally-friendly plastics ( a la The Graduate).

Each time a new generation echoes their parents' politics, things got just a little more extreme.  The Capitalists went overboard in the Reagan years with derivatives and paper assets, while the Marxists went overboard with Identity Politics and Share The Wealth schemes, like Global Warming, etc.

What seems to be happening now is a blend of ecological consciousness with kinder, gentler capitalism, self-identifying as the new counter-culture.  In other words, the current emerging generation is creating a synthesis of the two extremes, while eschewing the more radical ends of the spectrum.

Now, you have the YouTube millionaires spouting anti-Liberal rhetoric while working out of their parents' basements.  They are anti-consumerist, preferring to rattle the economic order with cyber currencies and a Digital Revolution.  They are shunning Old Media like broadcast networks and Hollywood movies, in favor of producing and consuming each others' projects, and sharing the wealth through crowd-funding organizations.

Culturally, they are leaving the club scenes, swapping underground band MP3s and amateur film projects, and paying for it all with Bitcoin and Etherium.

It's really a bizarre amalgam of preceding philosophies, at least to the eyes of a geezer, and quite fascinating to watch.  These folks don't buy anything the social institutions tell them, and instead actually seem willing to do the work to research information for themselves - not the mention proudly crow their findings on YouTube.

In the end, the revolution that the Boomers promised, but never delivered, is coming out of their great-grandchildren.  The digital world has empowered them to the point that they can do with a phone what us geezers used to do with multi-million dollar rooms full of equipment and distribution licenses and Hollywood studio monopolies on media, and New York brokers.

In other words, there is a shift occurring that hasn't been seen since the Enlightenment and the birth of the Scientific Revolution.  The Gentleman Scientist of yore is now the YouTube producer.  The great composers of yore are now the synth track creators.  The great artists of yore are now the PhotoShop jockeys.

It is an explosion is slow motion.  This new generation is slowly discovering just how much power is at their fingertips.  They are re-evaluating things like college degrees, when all the materials (books, lectures, etc.) are available online for free.  Who needs an investment house when you can get $1 from one million people?  In fact, the Enlightenment ideal of the educated individual is coming to fruit 300 years later, as the technology catches up to the concept, and this new generation, many with no concept of the philosophical roots of their discoveries and efforts, is inheriting the wind.

It is quite a remarkable thing to watch, as the Liberals become the Conservatives, the Conservatives become the radicals, and both are panicking because there's a whole new deal on the horizon that they never considered.

What is truly gratifying is that all of it is moving toward a libertarian ideal that empowers the individual in a self-correcting marketplace of ideas, where feedback from consumers is immediate and the rewards are direct to your pocket with no middle men.  Better yet, they are impervious to the divisive machinations of the withering elite and have no concept of national borders, racial separation and economic boundaries.

Get your popcorn warmed up.  The show is just beginning.
