I think those on the other side of your argument would consider Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be a militant SJW.



People don't understand the meaning of the word "militant" then, because AOC has never participated in arming herself during a protest.

As opposed to say, WA State rep Matt Shea, who was found to be conspiring with militias to start a civil war that would end in a theocracy: https://www.npr.org/2019/12/20/790192972/washington-legislat...

1. Fighting or warring.

2. Having a combative character; aggressive, especially in the service of a cause: a militant political activist.

It seems to apply quite well to some of those SJW types who caused people to quit or get fired, and physically threatened them at the same time (e.g. see Bret Weinstein).


Those on the other side of that argument would consider Woodrow Wilson to be a militant SJW.
