Typical SJW reaction will be: "Yes! That bitch was islamophobic anyway!".
I still remember that case when a 7th grader cyberbullied someone in her class and adult buzzfeed and twitter bloggers bullied her into suicide in return (including making her address public) and actually celebrated "victory". Adults celebrated forcing a 7th grader they have never met to commit suicide because "justice".

Very good. Let them go public with this typical reaction of theirs. The more, the better.

SJW's themselves are hopeless, but they can go a good job of discrediting themselves and, consequently, their ideology in front of the general public. That's what SJW's are made for, as far as I can tell: to discredit socialism and leftism in the eyes of the people who still have some remnants of common sense.

Agreed. And all that statistics that suggests that the majority of young people side completely with the SJW ideology surely looks scary but doesn't take into consideration the simple fact that being angry about stupid shit is a staple of being a teenager (which is up to about 30 these days) and that the majority of them will grow out of it. Yes, seeking attention as a victimised gender-fluid alien is fun in one's twenties but works for almost no one by their forties. So those numbers are not as scary as they might seem.

Concerning gender-fluid aliens, that's a good explanation, actually: that all this transgender thing is used to lure young people into the left wing.

But I would interpret it differently. The present-day university campus is but a sexually charged kindergarten. No wonder so many young adults locked into it by government policies feel so uncomfortable with their sexuality there that they are prepared to identify as gender-fluid and whatnot. Under more normal conditions, most of them would be productively employed and married with children by that age already.

Still, there are lots of real stupid shit around, and there's nothing wrong about being angry about it per se. The problem lies with finding a positive ideal to serve as the standard of comparison and as the logical ground for one's complaints about stupid shit. The right wing -- the conservatives, libertarians, etc. -- could offer such an ideal or ideals, too.

The reason it works the way it does is because of massive brainwashing in the educational institutions, starting from the schools. Even those who do not buy into this brainwashing are largely deprived of their chance to acquaint themselves with any alternative or better socio-economic worldviews, simply for the lack of time and energy, which is wasted by the government-mandated compulsory teaching.

Hence the importance of changing the situation in the educational system (and this should start with the universities).

***

Still, I find it hard to imagine that anything like a majority of present-day Western youth is prepared to identify with people openly reacting like "Yes! That bitch was islamophobic anyway!" to a story like the one under the link. That will only serve to discredit those SJW's in the eyes of their own audience.
