This survival guide is intended for the use of the individual who
finds himself under attack by Social Justice Warriors for standing up against
them and their ever-mutating Narrative. It may be freely distributed so
long as it is correctly credited to SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police by
Vox Day.
The eight stages of the SJW attack sequence are as follows:
1. Locate or
Create a Violation of the Narrative.
2. Point and
Shriek.
3. Isolate
and Swarm.
4. Reject
and Transform.
5. Press for
Surrender.
6. Appeal to
Amenable Authority.
7. Show
Trial.
8. Victory
Parade.
The rest of this guide consists of the correct way to respond to
an SJW attack once it has been identified, ideally at the earliest stage
possible. Please note that the eight stages of response do not correspond
directly to the eight stages of the SJW attack sequence.
1. Rely on the Three Rs: RECOGNIZE it is happening. REMAIN calm.
REALIZE no one cares.
The first thing to do when attacked by SJWs is to recognize that
you are under SJW attack, remain calm, and realize that no one else cares. You
need to understand that the attack is happening, accept that is happening, and
refrain from the temptation to try to make it not be happening. Do not panic!
Don’t go running to others for help or sympathy, don’t try to convince everyone
around you how outrageous or unfair the accusation is, and don’t explain to
anyone how little you deserve the way you are being treated. They don’t care.
They really don’t. Think about how little you cared when someone else was
previously being attacked by SJWs and how little you did to support them, let
alone take action to stop the attack. That’s exactly how much your colleagues
and acquaintances care about you being attacked, and exactly how much they are
going to do to stop it.
The truth is that it doesn’t matter why SJWs are attacking
you. The only thing that matters is understanding that you are under
attack right now and no one else is going to do anything about it.
2. Don’t try to reason with them.
The second thing is to recognize that there is no way you are
going to be able to reason your way out of the situation. Most people who come
under SJW attack have the causality backwards. They think the attack is taking
place due to whatever it is that they did or said. That’s not the case. The
attack is taking place because of who you are and what you represent to the
SJWs: a threat to their Narrative. In most cases, the SJWs attempting to
discredit and disemploy you already wanted you out long ago, and they are
simply using the nominal reason given as an excuse to get rid of you. And if
the attack is more the result of SJW status-seeking rather than
thought-policing, that’s arguably even worse, because if the motivation
concerns them rather than you, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
The most important thing to accept here is the complete
impossibility of compromise or even meaningful communication with your
attackers. SJWs do not engage in rational debate because they are not rational
and they do not engage in honest discourse because they do not believe in
objective truth. They have no interest whatsoever in talking to you or trying
to understand you, indeed, they will avoid you and do their best to minimize
their communications with you while constantly talking about you and
“explaining” the real meaning of your words and your nefarious true intentions
to everyone else. They will also try to isolate you and cut you off from access
to any relevant authority, to the media, and to neutral parties, the better to
spin the Narrative without your interference. This is why it is vital that you
do not agree to any confidentiality agreements or consent to keep your mouth
shut while the SJW-driven “investigation” is proceeding.
3. Do not apologize.
The third thing to remember when undergoing an SJW-attack is to
never apologize for anything you have done. I repeat: do not apologize. Do not
say you are sorry if anyone’s feelings were hurt, do not express regret,
remorse, or contrition, do not say anything that can be taken as an apology in
any way. Just in case I am not being sufficiently clear, do not apologize!
Normal people seek apologies because they want to know that you
feel bad about what you have done and that you will at least attempt to avoid
doing it again in the future. When SJWs push you for an apology after
pointing-and-shrieking at you, what they are seeking is a confession to bolster
their indictment. They are like the police down at the station with a suspect
in the interrogation room, badgering him to confess to the crime. And like
all too many police these days, the SJWs don’t really care if you did it or
not, they’re just looking for a confession that they can take to the
prosecutor.
Be aware that once they have launched an attack on you, they will
press you hard for an apology and repeatedly imply that if you will just
apologize, all will be forgiven. Do not be fooled! I have seen people fall for
it time and time again, and the result is always the same. The SJWs are simply
looking for a public confession that will confirm their accusations, give them
PR cover, and provide them with the ammunition required to discredit and
disemploy you. Apologizing will accomplish nothing more than hand them the very
weapons they require to destroy you.
4. Accept your fate.
It is psychologically much easier to survive an SJW attack if you
accept early on in the process that you are probably going to lose your job or
be purged from your church, your social group, or your professional
organization. Remember, if the SJWs were not confident they could take you out,
they would not have launched the attack in the first place. They prey upon
those they believe, rightly or wrongly, to be vulnerable. Even if you survive
the attack, it’s highly unlikely that your reputation will survive unscathed as
there are simply too many people who are inclined to split the difference in
any conflict between two parties, no matter how crazy or dishonest they know
one of the parties to be.
Be prepared to be disappointed by the behavior of some of the
people you believe to be your friends. But don’t be angry with them or allow
the anger you feel for the SJWs to be displaced onto those who have
disappointed you. While they may have disappointed you with their cowardice,
they are not your problem, they did not put you in the position you find yourself,
and they are not your enemy. Don’t take your pain and anger out on them.
Reserve that for the SJWs.
5. Document their every word and action
Most of the time, SJW purges are committed at least partially
outside the organization’s established rules and forms. You may not be an
expert, but some of the people following along will be. Make sure every step in
the process, and every piece of communication you receive from them, is
documented, critiqued, and publicized. They will pull out all the stops to hide
their actions in order to avoid public criticism, and in some of the more
egregious cases, ridicule. By forcing them to show their hand in public, you
allow others to see and understand what they are really up to. This may not be
sufficient to save yourself from the ongoing attack, but it will almost
certainly strengthen your negotiating position and will also help prevent the
SJWs from blithely repeating the process against you or someone else in the
future.
Whatever you do, do not agree to any gag orders or sign any
confidentiality agreements that will handicap your ability to use the
documentation you have acquired to prevent them from spinning a Narrative about
what happened. SJWs rely on secrecy, and once they know you have their actions
documented, they will try very hard to tie your hands in a manner that will
prevent you from making that information public.
6. Do not resign!
Do not resign! You must always keep in mind that their real goal
is not to formally purge you, but to encourage you to quit on your
own. That allows them to publicly wash their hands of the affair and claim that
your decision to leave was not their fault. They will often enlist more
reasonable allies to approach you and tell you that it’s not possible for you
to continue any more, they will appeal to your desire to avoid conflict as well
as to the good of the organization, and they will go on endlessly about the
supreme importance of an amicable departure. Don’t fall for it. Don’t do their
dirty work for them. Make them take the full responsibility for throwing you
out, thereby ensuring they have to suffer the unpredictable long-term
consequences of their actions.
No matter how deeply the deck is stacked against you, the outcome
will always be in doubt unless you resign. You always have a chance to defeat
them as long as you don’t quit, and perhaps more importantly, refusing to quit
buys you an amount of time that you can use to find another job before they
manage to disemploy you. Considering how long you can reasonably expect to draw
out the process, which will usually take not weeks, but months, you will
considerably enhance your chances of finding alternative employment if you do
not resign.
Do not resign! There is no advantage to you in doing so. As with
apologizing, resigning is only going to make matters worse, not better, despite
what the SJWs will promise you. They’ll assure you that it will be best for
everyone if you just quietly resign and go away, that it will be better for the
organization to which your past contributions are greatly appreciated, and that
the one last thing you can do for it now is to avoid making an uncomfortable
scene. They’ll promise that if you resign, you’ll be able to quickly and
quietly put the controversy behind you—and the moment you resign, they will
alert the media, send out a statement to the entire organization, and begin
waving your scalp like a bloody flag. This is because one of their primary
goals is to maintain the illusion of their irresistible power and inevitable
victory, so they need to advertise their victories in order to intimidate other
potential crimethinkers into falling into line.
So don’t believe them when they tell you that a resignation will
make all the pain and humiliation go away, because SJWs always lie! And
whatever you do, don’t resign!
7. Make the rubble bounce.
Whether you survive the attempted purge or whether you don’t, it’s
very important to observe who has defined himself as an ally, an enemy, or a
neutral party during the process. The choices people make will pleasantly
surprise you about as often as they disappoint you. Once everyone’s choices
have been made clear, your task is simple. Target the enemy at every
opportunity. Hit them wherever they show themselves vulnerable. Play as
dirty as your conscience will permit. Undermine them, sabotage them, and
discredit them. Be ruthless and show them absolutely no mercy. This is not the
time for Christian forgiveness because these are people who have not repented,
these are people who are trying to destroy you and are quite willing to harm
your family and your children in the process. Take them down and take them out
without hesitation.
If you have any SJWs working under you, fire them. If you have an
SJW relying upon you for something, play dumb and assure him that he’ll get it
on time, then fail to deliver, all the while promising that it’s going to be
done next week. Above all, understand that the normal rules of live and let
live are no longer in effect. The more you disrupt their activities and their
daily routine, the more difficult they will find it to purge you. Assume that
you are on your way out—if you’ve followed the previous advice given, you
should already have your landing zone prepared and are only waiting for the
right moment to exit—and salt the earth. Leave devastation in your wake so that
it will take weeks or even months for them to try to recover from the damage of
your purging.
8. Start nothing, finish everything.
Even when the initial conflict is over, the SJWs are not going to
leave you alone so long as they believe you to be a potentially vulnerable
threat to them. This is why you have to be prepared to continue to up the ante
until they finally reach the conclusion that they cannot possibly beat you and
they are better off keeping their distance. Fortunately, SJWs are highly
emotional, cowardly, and prone to depression, so demoralizing them tends to be
considerably easier than you might imagine. They will still hate you, but after
repeatedly meeting with staunch and confident opposition, they will usually
decide to leave you alone and go in search of less difficult prey.
Reward enemies who leave you alone by leaving them in peace.
Reward enemies who insist on continuing hostilities with disincentivizing
responses that are disproportionate to their provocations. And never forget, no
matter what they do, they cannot touch your mind, they cannot touch your heart,
and they cannot touch your soul.
