I'm not a social justice warrior, I just don't want to be an a**hole
It seems like I got accused of being a social justice warrior again today. I simply accused someone of ableism and then was told to 'retreat to my safe space.'
I don't know why this is an insult, but I immediately invoked the Dunning-Kruger, and then told him my choice *not* to be an asshole doesn't mean I'm a social justice warrior.
Not wanting to be a jerk to people who aren't being a jerk to me if I can help it doesn't make me a social justice warrior. It just means I learned he lessons I was supposed to in Kindergarten.
