Man I feel like SJW is an outdated term out of the gamer gate era. I feel like those times are coming back and it's sad. Also this whole video felt like long form poetry. Myke keep on keeping on brotha.
Tbh I think it's on its death bed especially if you pay attention to gaming & stuff like me there definitely is an audience still but it's nowhere near as big and as far-reaching on TH-cam and other platforms like it was in 2016 lol
It's always better to look at a situation and say honesty "no, this is really hard, actually" rather than grit it and pretend its easy. There's something cathartic about what you've said here, so kudos.
Tbf I see people now equally clown people who use the term SJW as much as the people who actually use It as an insult but yeah it's definitely still a thing especially in certain zones on the internet
appreciate you myke. i’ve been watching you & the dead end/is the mic still on crew for 6 years now since i was 15. these videos n podcasts meant a ton to a lonely kid. wish you all the best from the heart. like you said, caring is exhausting but please know that real people care about you for real from corners all round the world. peace n love
I agree with all of this so much and it's so crazy to me how ppl can't accept these ideas and as someone who is only 25 is so tiring to feel so defeated in these issues and seeing so much won't change no matter what tragedies we all keep seeing everyday, and the in fighting caused by people who ultimately all want the same thing
Circa 2015-16 I was in college and people were getting a little crazy with how “woke” they were I know I hate that word nowadays but idk what else to call it. That’s when I got into Anti SJW TH-camrs cause I felt like an outsider as a gay Asian and gay POC in general that the community was losing its mind and getting way too PC. Now that it’s 2022 I realize that those loud crazy twitter/buzzfeed types who want to be most liberal and “savior” of everyone type people are kind of a minority. I realized just how hateful a lot of the anti SJW talk on TH-cam was and nowadays see it for how racist it is. Literally if there’s a woman or POC in a movie the conservative anti SJW police lose their minds and make 100s videos of why so and so is woke and gonna go broke. And also watching Fox News long enough you’ll see how they turn everything into a “blacks are ruining” America narrative That’s why Fox News loves people like Kanye and Candice owens for being “the good ones” who won’t speak of racism or problems black peoples face. I also saw Joe Fox News took the stop Asian hate movement and just made it about “well there’s more black people doing it than whites” and they obviously don’t care about Asians just about their narrative. Anyways this long ramble is just to say I was once an “anti SJW” person but grew up. And the fact it’s seen as corny or offensive to want to speak out on racism or homophobia in this country is really lame.
The last few years have been extremely exhausting. Watching people purposely creating a divide between themselves and others who have different viewpoints. Living somewhere where at least 60-70 percent of the population doesn't give a fuck about people like me. Watching people hate their neighbors for no reason at all. I don't go out for coffee anymore, I walk my dog at night so I don't have to look at people. It's exhausting watching things decline, rather than get better.
Myke(this is Mitch), you said something that I have been saying for years. The thing about blacks and whites being pitted against each other, when it's really the rich we should stand against! I stand behind EVERYTHING you said brother!!
As a fellow leftist, I completely agree with your sentiments. Is it hard really hard to be against the oppression of all groups of people and identities? Although, I fear I won't live through the elimination of capitalism and white supremacy, finding likeminded people IRL and online gives me hope that we'll eventually succeed.
Amazing video. You enumerated all the complexities of caring and the struggle of trying to make the world a better place. I relate to this in many ways. We are who we are, and we do what we must, even if nothing changes. At least we tried. Thanks for the video and sharing real emotions with the world. In solidarity.
This video is amazing! you said everything I've been feeling for years but am not smart enough to say as eloquently as you did. also, it is exhausting caring about other people but it's better than being so empty that you can see others in immense pain and feel nothing. I think that's why the 1 percent have to fill the void of having no empathy, one of the most important parts of being human, with an obsession of power, control and money. what even is life without caring about other people? no amount of money or hobbies will replace true human connection. Anyways... Myke you're an awesome person!
Wow Myke, I don't think I've ever watched a video that provided me more insight to my views and outlooks on life. It's hard to explain but this video means a lot! Thank you!
This is super representative of how and why I’ve been bothering to be more active when I see hateful comments. Of course I hate it, I’d hate doing nothing even more
"Challenging their worldview" seems to be the biggest problem with people who use the word "Sjw" as an insult and pejorative as you said. Same goes for "woke" and shit like that. Nice vid, Myke
If being an “SJW” means advocating for basic human rights that would be taken for granted in any sane society against an endless mountain of propaganda meant to normalize and uphold the unacceptable realities created by capitalism, imperialism, and all forms of inequality, why yes that is rather exhausting
When you resort to political violence while crying about fascism, when you scream about womens rights while trampling them for trans rights, you dont get to put the flag down on a moral high ground.
You are one of the realest Myke here on TH-cam, and I don't find it at all to be labeled an SJW or Woke or whatever, you know, it even amuses me, kinda wear it as a a badge of honor, because why would I even give two damns what some of these lowlife lunatics even think about me, haha
It is exhausting to have a heart and live in a world full suffering, anger and hatred. It’s not funny to be a troll who punches down and laughs at peoples suffering. It’s actually horrible and the fact that these people don’t understand this makes me feel genuinely sorry for them. Love the videos and the collection!
I saw a video by a "life after hate" ex-nazi (Arno Michaelis) who said that it was "exhausting" to constantly hate other races he lived around. This is why most people are in the middle. Caring a lot about politics makes people angry and bitter.
I remember when I started seeing the term "SJW", it seemed like it was to describe people who treat sociopolitical issues as a moral superiority contest. I remember that a major point of contention was that people should ultimately not get outraged at character portrayals in movies and video games, because doing so is dumb. It only took a couple years, and now half the "anti-SJW" content I come across is people getting outraged at media for completely asinine reasons, such as a mermaid being black. The other half is basically right-wing/conservative propaganda. I do believe that there are legitimately reasonable cases to be made about problems relating to leftist/liberal circles on the internet, but I actively avoid using terms like "SJW" and "woke" and such... Saying those things pejoratively would make me feel dirty, as if I was inadvertently taking part in a dishonest movement that masquerades as criticism of overreactions/radicalism, while it actually goes against most of my values.
I've only known a couple people ever that truly embodied the moral superiority contest that the term SJW originally inplied, although I've seen a few examples of that online. The rest are just good people that care and don't deserve to be demonized. The conservative refusal to think of anyone other than themselves drives me up the wall at times.
It's exhausting knowing that I don't feel the desire to talk to certain relatives and friends anymore because I know now what hateful, ignorant pricks they are.
I resonate a lot with a lot of this. Solid use of the lyric. I felt exhausted after watching but also slightly validated in knowing that other folks are feeling similarly. That person may be a turd but I appreciate the video.
PREACH, MYKE! It's exhausting knowing that so many black metal bands have racist, sexist, transphobic and homophobic assholes in their ranks and are STILL given the light of day by the wider black metal fandom (even if I do admit to listening to--but NEVER, EVER idolizing the people in--some of those bands).
if you have netflix, you might get something out of The G Word starring Adam Conover. it's honest and factual about the state of disrepair our government's in, while also managing to make it hopeful that there is a way forward. I hope making this video was cathartic for you at least.
communist here; yes, it is very exhausting being empathetic for the human race and all the people being exploited and oppressed around the world. realistically nothing is gonna change and we’re stuck with that. the whole capitalist class, liberals, fascist, reactionaries, and conservatives are all against us, but we have the working class on our side, which is the majority. it’s you and me and almost everyone you know. we must keep fighting because we have a world to win!
Communism did nothing wrong. Mao and Stalin had good plans and did good things. More communism is totally what we need 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 okay, see ya in the siberian work camp comrade.
It's fucking hard brother but I hope you can take comfort in knowing that there many of us out there fighting alongside you. Fuck all of those bitches and keep going Dude!

People still using this term as a negative 💀. These people genuinely believed we already received perfect social justice since the Civil Rights Act.

Go to Venezuela then.

Right comrade?
Props to standing up for others and what you believe in. Insufferable SJW over here as well.
It is SO exhausting but I can't see any other way to be. Anything else feels intellectually invalid and personally dishonest
That was so well thought out and put together that I would vote for you for whatever public office you happen to find yourself running ferr.

I hear you on everything. But how old was the comment ? I haven't heard the term SJW in a couple of years at least.
The world can be an exhausting place but if it doesn't break you and make you into a miserable person I guess that's a positive.
