I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

‘social justice’.

Used to care about it, but then I realized over time that it’s mostly bullies and wannabe bullies. And that most people who claim they are for social justice, aren’t. They are just for screaming and belittling other people who are different than them.’

I realize social justice is something you do, not something you say. And the people doing the saying are very rarely doing anything to help the people they ‘advocate’ for so much as they are using them as a soapbox to grandstand about how they are ‘good’ and anyone who isn’t as ‘concerned’ as they are is ‘bad’.

Wanna see a good example of the hypocrisy of “social justice warriors”, go learn about the Kimba the White Lion controversy, which seems to have died down. Youtuber YourMovieSucks dud a great video debunking the idea that The Lion King ripped off Kimba the White Lion. The two franchises only have some very superficial things in common. The “Kimba crowd” were constantly pushing this rumour that Kimba the White Lion was this great anime that was robbed of potential success because big bad Disney stole its ideas. Disney always trampling on the poor oppressed animators from other countries. (I acknowledge Disney has done evil things, just not this). You would think all these champions spreading the word about Kimba the White Lion would have actually watched the show they were so passionately defending from big bad Disney. Turns out most of them couldn’t be bothered watching Kimba because it’s a mediocre show, and it turns out Kimba has some racist shit in it that they shouldn’t be defending. And Kimba and the Lion King actually have very little in common that is unique. And a lot of the comparisons come from a Kimba movie that came out three years after The Lion King and probably ripped off some of the visuals in The Lion King to capitalism on The Lion King’s success.
