The charge of "racism" has been so thoroughly abused and misapplied
I'm also fiercely individualistic, which these days puts me in direct opposition to liberals, which is also a sad thing - "liberal" once had connotations of "liberty"
What's wrong with letting folks just be themselves, and define who they are?
If one wants to promote "diversity", it would seem logical that they allow folks to be as diverse as they want - but instead, they promote conformity under the heading of "political correctness" and call it, paradoxically, diversity.

Well, the liberals and the neocons are the same thing
No. Nope! False. I totally disagree.

It's so mind-boggling to see PC Overkill (SJW) types, people whom clearly subscribe to CRT/PS, which is an entirely racist / bigoted ideological doctrine (rivaled in the US only by NN/KKK)... it's mind boggling to see them make their main bulk of their anti-Trump platform all about painting Trump as a RACIST. I suppose categorically they ARE the experts, which is kind of funny as it can be argued they should be voting for him if he truly is what they claim, but the sheer hypocrisy of it is like nothing I've ever observed before.
Carry on!

Do you ever express yourself without using judgmental far right buzzwords? It is hilarious to see you condemning people for racism in racist language. For example, what does SJW mean? CRT/PS? NN/KKK? You seem to be so accustomed to alt-right lingo that you can no longer communicate with people outside the movement!

How I Define SJW:
Social Justice Warriors are Social Justice Activists turned into hate fueled extremists due to adopting Critical Race Theory / Progressive Stack (CRT/PS) concepts of Political Correctness + Victim Mentality deeply into their worldview / ideology. These types tend to obsess over CRT/PS. Their notions of reality tend to be very warped due to CRT/PS, such as how they think that if they're on the side of CRT/PS that they are therefore incapable of being a racist / sexist / etc bigot. They tend to be offended by / defend any and all sorts of criticisms of PC / SJW / BLM and such related major talking points, even when mass murder is involved. They tend to "troll" threads (derail them, ad hominem attack their opponents, etc). Not all SJW's are proper "Special Snowflakes" I doubt, but this new "Special Snowflake Generation" we're seeing unfold has them erupting out into the social scene en masse, as they often tend to identify with the "Oppression Scale" type concepts that CRT/PS is all about. Instead of debate policy issues, they tend to try to keep everything centered on Identity Politics, which is interesting as most of them are white people driven by White Guilt. In this way they tend to be walking cliches of "misery loves company", as projecting their guilt and bigotry and self-loathing onto others is like their daily bread & butter.

In short, it's this Political Correctness (PC) Culture taken to extremes, where a lot of this new SJW brand found it's roots in radical Feminist theories. In short, the basic tenets of it derive from "Critical Race Theory" and its gender & sexuality based extension called the "Progessive Stack". Those 2 concepts (which I will refer to as "CRT/PS"), along with the profoundly obtuse sort of reasonings behind them, and the whole ordeal underpinning how all of this SJW extremism came about lately, are well beyond the scope of this presentation. But it should be fair to say it's all about this intense sort of reasoning where everybody besides straight white males (SWM) are deeply oppressed by... straight white males (SWM).
Even if a SWM isn't racist, prejudiced or bigoted, the logic follows that we still are so anyways merely for being SWM, is basically the narrative you'll often find when observing the arguments of these folks. This is based on what they call the "Patriarchy" (which you are a part of inherently if you are SWM no matter what).
The Hypocrites Iron Fist - The PC Movement in light of the War on Drugs
As such, it wasn't too long before I pieced together the 'Iron Fist' piece linked above (that EPIC piece the ATS SJW's keep avoid addressing), and in that process on my own accord I came up with the "Nu-Nazi" term, as SJW extremism is the spiritual polar opposite to Neo-Nazism (which I covered in depth in the piece I keep mentioning).

The first post you linked, I see no issue with what-so-ever. That is exactly how Alt-Right identifies.
The second post is humor.
The third, also some descriptors alt-right uses for themselves... this thread is also in the Mud-Pit, some of us find a little mud slinging fun.
That's highly debatable. Some people can't stand to talk about actual instances of racism or when they get called out on their own and never realized before that they were being racist... they can't handle it. But yes there are those who use the term too easily. To me though I guess I see it as one the absolute worst offenses a human can make so I never become apathetic to it. Apathy to me is consent.
I've seen and heard more than my fair share of casual racism amongst my own because racists always think their group thinks the same as them. It is repulsive to me and it is still a huge problem. I can't take anyone seriously if they deny Trump is a racist or that a large number of his supporters are, especially if the most vocal among them are openly white supremacists. While Alt-Right existed before this election season (2008 is when they popped up IIRC, odd that huh?) they have forcefully stepped into the mainstream now and that's why this is becoming an increasingly discussed topic.
This is absolutely my most snarly issue with so many right wingers of every degree. You complain and complain about how liberals label, condemn yadda, yadda and then turn right around and do the same damn thing. FFS, why? Get your paint brush off my liberal friends, thanks.
"What's wrong with letting folks just be themselves, and define who they are?"
Nothing, why do you think there is? Because people have opinions? Don't you? You might offend me if our paths crossed, you might not. Either way, so what? So what if you offend me or I offend you? Is there an attack going to happen because of it? Are the cops going to come and arrest the most offensive?
It's also not diversity if some are grossed out by or offensive toward "icky others" now is it?
What planet are you living on?? My WOD piece most likely is the most heavily data enriched piece EVER in ATS. Photos, graphs, citations out the wazoo, screen caps of SJW's hate speeches, articles, statistics, historical examples, videos, etc, etc.
