I just find "wokeness" and "social justice" to be a heaping pile of shit, and so that I won't be censured by nagging feminist scolds when I make these opinions known, is all.

That sounds like a good reason for anyone, no matter their political beliefs. Plus, being "woke" is like being one of the saps chained to the cave wall who believes they aren't and those who aren't are.
Don’t forget, our “Sister Sites” who see us as the bastard brother they want to forget and kill, are essentially the Nerds who sucked up to the Hipsters in hopes of acceptance
Are they Hipsters really? I can see the overlap, but I am not sure that Hipsters are the same thing as that crowd. Hipsters are tryhards and trendchases, they act non-conformist, but are the most conformist of all. So I am not 100% sure it is fair to call them Hipsters, Hipsters want fake social currency, while the people you refer want power in my opinion.
Well, maybe it’s more accurate to say they’re the “Cool Kids” who once looked down on “Nerd Culture” before it “became cool” and proceeded to wreck and invade the place
Even get some of the inhabitants to hurt the others
Not sure that these were even the "Cool Kids" probably people with delusions of this, and marginal popularity, but I think the actual cool kids have better things to do. But yes, they didn't invade until Nerds built up the place and tentatively invited others in.
And yes, they did invade and wreck the place. They were allowed and even to a degree welcomed in and then acted like horrible guests/roommates/etc. If you think of things in the ancient sense it could be seen as a breach of Xenia or any of the other hospitality codes. What good person upon entering into another's house, or being welcomed into the household tears it down to the foundations?
The kind that tells you that you either “deserve it” or that they are “remodelling” and “helping you” because your previous aesthetic was awful in their eyes
And as said before, there are those who essentially throw their lot in with them
I am a Jew who got called a Nazi by a bunch of ignoramuses on SB because of my own limited participation in the PM. I am rightly proud my Grandfather helped to stack the real thing like cordwood. I made the mistake of trying diplomacy with those fanatics. Never again.
That is why I am here. I agree with Mr. Jefferson when he said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death the right to say it."

Hey if they can label me a Sig Hailing Nazi for just like Trump they will label you a conservative.I'm not conservative!
Gah! This drives me crazy. How many times do I need to point to my past posts, or my voting record, or my church engagement, or the like? If you'd been in PM threads with me you'd have seen an awful lot of whining about racist ultraconservative church people.
To get away from the SJW run shit show that is SB. That place has pretty much turned into a leftist cult with only a handful of threads remaining sane.

Well, I think you only mean when it gets political. Still plenty of value-neutral content.To get away from the SJW run shit show that is SB. That place has pretty much turned into a leftist cult with only a handful of threads remaining sane.
I don't even particularly like trump I find him obnoxious but they get on my ass because I point out that censorship is a bad idea, that due process protects every one and I like the idea of being able to defend my synagogue with a loaded shot gun if things get dicy just like my grandpa did.
And they got real emotional on you and started strawmanning, I guess?
Plus, try arguing how censorship doesn’t actually change people’s minds just because they can no longer be exposed to this stuff they find objectionable. Or that “Hate Speech” ends up including punishing/censoring speech that isn’t even including ang slurs.
Seriously? How many people can’t get that Real Freedom does NOT ONLY consistenly be made of “good” thoughts, beliefs and actions
They allowed ISIL presence on social media for the same reason.
That approach too was tried and it failed. Most of the ISIL recruits in the West were young men disillusioned with their life. ISIL offered life of adventure and higher cause, West offered boring 9-5 job and internet porn. Guess what an impressionable young man will take.It would actually be remarkably easy to humiliate ISIS/ISIL in a “debate” and repeatedly pointing out how stupid they are and how they should instead of living in some hot desert country in a cave with primitive tech, they should be trying to get to play Minecraft or something like drawing their own art
