This tactic won't work. They routinely ignore logic and reason. They have no shame. They will stoop to any level.
An example of how many of them think: "Only the police should have guns. The people should be disarmed because they cannot be trusted." and "Police routinely abuse their powers and murder innocent people daily. They cannot be trusted." It doesn't matter if you think those statements are true or false. Assuming they are true, they never make the connection.
It's complete doublethink and it's not the only issue where they think this way. Many of them believe that it's impossible to be discriminatory toward certain ethnicities while constantly complaining of ethnic discrimination toward other ethnicities. Their views on what constitutes gender and gender discrimination are even more bizarre and socially perilous. You probably think I'm exaggerating but if you can stomach their writing, check out SRS and Tumblr. It's quite the pass through the looking glass.
These people are idealogical extremists and should be recognized as such.
Many of them are so called "Useful Idiots".
Follow the money and the media coverage and you'll see who is using them to promote these authoritarian ideas wrapped in "pseudo-leftism" in order to make them appealing to a younger crowd.
It won't even take you very long. It's somewhat of an "Open Secret".

Been following GamerGate for 10 months, you don't have to lecture me on this. I'm extremely aware of tumblr, SRS and GamerGhazi ^_^
When I started with GamerGate I was only in it for JUST changing ethical practices in the games journalism industry. The people you talk about are the reason I ended up staying even after policies were updated. They are GamerGate's best recruiting tool, five minutes of a neutral party listening to them and they'll be running the other way or be pushed into the opposing camp because some of their ideologies are just to extreme, and contradictory, for most people to stomach. ANYTHING other than 100% compliance is unacceptable.
It's important to recognize "SJW", for lack of a better term sorry, are their own worst enemies. Don't become them while fighting them.
