SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police
by
Social Justice Warriors have plagued mankind for more than 150 years, but only in the last 30 years has their ideology become dominant in the West. Having invaded one institution of the cultural high ground after another, from corporations and churches to video games and government, there is nowhere that remains entirely free of their intolerant thought and speech policing

Ah, Vox Day. This gif reflects how I feel whenever I hear/read him argue about something, which I've been doing since reading A Throne of Bones (a fantasy novel by Vox Day so bad it may cause indelible fits of laughter).

A clear, concise and useful summary of today's SJW (Social Justice Warriors) movement, including their influence on the culture, infiltration of major institutions and, more importantly, the threat they present to regular unsuspecting people in everyday life. Whether you are an up-and-coming author or a corporate cubicle dweller, a scientist with a list of impressive achievements under your belt or a college student--chances are, sooner or later you will encounter these members of the new author

Great read from a new perspective
While this writer is universally pilloried by a small group of very vocal individuals, what he writes in this book makes clear who those folks are and why they are so vocal.
The irony is I read this because so many told me not to and I wanted to see what was so wrong about it. In the end I discovered why those folks were so scared of others reading this book. It puts their ideology through the wringer and shows major issues with it while also demonstrating how th ...more

A short polemical book describing techniques to fight back against social justice monsterings, such as the Twitter mob that got Nobel Prize winner Tim Hunt sacked for making a sexist joke. It was exceptionally easy-to-read and well-written, especially given some of the events in the book had happened only days before. Whatever you think about blogger Vox Day, he's evidently a very smart and articulate guy. Worth a read if you're interested in the topic.

So the title of this one is going to offend a certain subset of people straight off - and I'd argue that those are the people who need to be offended. Indeed, the whole point of this book, (subtitled: taking down the thought police), is that a subset of perpetually offended professional victims are causing great damage wherever they turn up by way of superficially noble-sounding goals.

An interesting primer on hypocrisy in action, this book could be re-titled "Vox Day Always Lies" without losing any of its impact. Consider firstly that Vox claims he couldn't care less about the Hugo awards, but the last couple lines in the blurb for this book (both here on Goodreads and also on Amazon) clearly point out that Vox Day is a "three-time Hugo nominee".
So you know what you're getting into here... this book contains the spin Vox needs to rationalize his behavior, and as such I wasn't ...more

Theodore T'so -- a Linux programmer -- received a lot of grief when he mentioned on a mailing list that the traditional English definition for rape didn't include cases where both parties were too drunk to consent. The people hassling him (1) didn't bother checking whether his statement was historically accurate (it was), and (2) didn't realize that a statement of how the law defines things -- or used to define things -- is very different from a statement of what actions are right or wrong.

For those of you who do not know what a SJW is or does, this book is for you. For those of you who know all too well what SJW's are and do, this book is for you. And for those of you who consider yourselves SJW's, this book certainly is not for you.

An eminently practical take on cultural warfare from a seasoned veteran. Too vengeful (and I say that having been on the receiving end of a couple of attacks) but other than that, very useful. Having encountered the type of person/behavior he describes in other arenas, I believe that the SJW is not a new phenomenon. Rather, it's a cultural niche in which a certain kind of disordered personality finds a comfortable home -- but it's not the only niche where you can find them.
"The perfect Queen of the SJWs – and she would be a queen, never a king – would be a mixed-race lesbian Swedish immigrant who was abused as a child by a conservative white Republican politician and kept as a sex slave by neo-Nazis with Confederate-flag tattoos prior to writing a bestselling novel about a fictionalized version of her terrible experiences, appearing on Oprah, and starring on a science fiction TV show popular with white nerds."

'The fact that most SJWs[Social Justice Warriors] would genuinely deny that they are socialists or that they seek to destroy Western Civilization means that sooner or later, they will be forced to confront the fact that the goals they seek, Equality, Diversity and inclusiveness, are utterly incompatible with personal freedoms, societal wealth and advancement of technological civilization."

While the title says "SJWs", this book is meant for anyone who argues or attacks in an intellectually dishonest manner. And as such, it is invaluable.
A reader can be forgiven for thinking that they don't need such a handbook because they are a moderate and considerate person, unencumbered by political dogma and able to handle polite conversation and friendly dinners without insulting their companions because of Wrongthink. That reader is fooling themselves.

Absolutely necessary reading in this fallen time.
Because the truth is now deemed by those who rejoice in their disabilities (and hate people, like me, who try to cure when they can) as hate speech.
The chapter on what to do when attacked is essential reading for any person who belongs to a group deemed hateful. This week.
Besides, it is funny. Scabrously funny.

Silencing the Sound and Fury
If you're like me, you've learned to know to avoid speaking certain things in certain quarters, to avoid certain outcomes. You've gotten good at it, and you're not particularly worried about it - it's like a war in some far off country that you hear about in passing. Still, there's a nagging feeling - what if I slip up, what if someone tells?

Worthwhile Read
Review by JAY WEISENBERGER:
Excellent description and plan of action to combat a pervasive problem in today's society. With the help of Vox, and other like-minded individuals, we have a much greater chance of defeating the scourge of SJW's.

A practical guide to the nature of SJWs (people who feed off political correctness) , their threat, their methods, and how to counter them. You can view SJW as a performance, an act that lets the performer gain status by destroying another. Make no mistake the goal is to destroy, not build. Specious pretexts are the stock in trade of the point-and-shriek crowd. This is a book that is worth re-reading for the insights that can be applied in the field. And if ...more

Basically an abridged "Rules for Radicals," adapted for and targeted toward a specific enemy.
Quick reference guide:
1st quarter = describe SJWs & illustrations
2nd quarter = illustrations of how organizations/movements have triaged attacks & counter-attacked
3rd quarter = how to survive an attack as an individual
4th quarter = how to counter-attack as an individual
The second half gets a tad too political (and, frankly, tin foil hat-ish) for my taste. But, overall, a solid book for what it is ...more

A spot-on description of SJWs and their attitudes. An engrossing and enjoyable read, packed with valuable advice on how to deal with the SJWs you come in contact with.
So this is a book about a cabal of Social Justice Warriors that set out to destroy western civilization. Our first encounter with a real SJW is in chapter 2 when we meet Mr. Scalzi, a SF-writer who lied about the traffic his Blog gets. We are then treated to an astonishingly boring chapter about the various metrics to measure Blog traffic, with listings of the involved numbers, how of course Mr. Day's Blog has vastly more traffic, we get conversion factors from page views to visitors, and it is

Five stars for the value it presents in the current times. Seems a little petty at one or two spots, and some of the issues may be a bit difficult for some people to understand, but the points that this book illustrates are solid and useful knowledge.
I'm pretty sure I'm echoing the sentiments of others by saying this, but I wish I'd had this handbook many years ago. Much of what SJWs Always Lie reveals, I had learned on my own the hard way. Plus, I've been following Vox Popoli for a couple years now so this wasn't the first time I've encountered most of the author's revelations.
Still, even though I had learned some dos and don'ts on my own, I hadn't learned all of them. Nor had I discovered exactly WHY one should follow the dos and don'ts I' ...more

Even if you're not invested in the SJW versus anti-SJW fight on Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr, you may still find this book of great interest. I wasn't a fan of Day's scorched earth solutions to some of the problems he brought up, but I was impressed with how he broke down emotional arguments versus logical arguments. Also of interest were the ways to stymie an SJW attack which I found applicable to fighting any sort of clique. I was let down to see t ...more

Well this book opened up another world of which I was unaware. I initially thought Social Justice Workers helpfully worked for NGOs. But I was drawn to this book by my increasing fascination with the PC police on Internet fora. So many people bothering to verbally annihilate others whose opinions about banal subjects such as weight loss are inadequately expressed. Mr Day fills several chapters with detailed exposés of SJWs in action in the gaming world. Yawn. But then he defines the process of v

I've encountered a few SJWs and they're exactly as Vox Day describes. I see them all over Twitter. I read them in the news, read their blogs, and I laugh. They can be difficult to deal with, and this book will give you ammunition in dealing with them. Best thing is, they will not understand this book so they'll point and shriek, disqualify! disqualify! and do what SJWs do, continue providing evidence of the observable. Watch the 1 and 2 star reviews. It's already begun. Yes, I am the leader of #

Interesting book, but needs a bit more editing to catch typos and grammatical errors, which I could say about every book I've read this year.
This book is obligatory reading for anyone living in the Communist-plagued Western Civilization. Because they will come for you, when you least expect it. And if you read this book, you will be ready for them, and you will be thankful you did. Vox Day does a great job of summarizing how they think, how they act, and how to defend yourself against their attacks.
Hmm, just realized I got a comment on this review from a drooling idiot, so I decided to update this review.
Election day is tomorrow. I wish more Republicans would read this book. I think back to all of the elections since 2008, and I see one thing all those loser Republicans had in common. They wilted in the face of criticism from the mainstream media and shitheads like "Aah." They stupidly apologized to the "offended" even though they hadn't actually committed any offenses at all.

“Believing that a person’s sex, race and orientation defines the acceptable limits of the opinions they may hold is called “identity politics.” It’s a bizarre but flourishing cult in America today that makes fools of its supporters by presenting an insultingly reductionist view of human nature.”

“The reason SJWs demand apologies is in order to establish that the act they have deemed an offense is publicly recognized as an offense by the offender. The demand for an apology has nothing whatsoever to do with the offender. It is focused on the SJW's need to prove that the violation of the Narrative involved is publicly accepted as a real and legitimate offense for which punishment is merited.”
