Tyrion on SJW's/Utopianism

"Looked down upon" is not remotely the same as silencing opposition. Plenty of SJWs have doxed, gotten people fired, threatened, and otherwise behaved like part of a mob.

this charge comes off as just a little bit hypocritical coming from social conservatives.

Do you think the only people pointing this out are social conservatives? I'm not one, and I'm absolutely disgusted by the actions of the left.

You keep saying "I," as if I'm talking about you personally. I'm talking about the SJW movement, and you're acting like you are the only one who matters.

I can make a distinction between conservatism (which I want utterly destroyed and about as taboo as, say, being gay was fifty years ago) and conservatives (who are mostly just dumb).

And there we have it. You don't just want to oppose someone's beliefs, you want those beliefs destroyed. Made taboo.

So because I think that, say, LGBT people deserve an equal place at the table I'm a blind frothing-at-the-mouth pitchfork-wielding mob? Two can play that game.

You didn't answer my question. I'll repeat it. "So because we dare to have different opinions than you we're torturing, raping sadists?" Try again.

You're engaging in the classic "motte and bailey" strategy. You pretend what this is only about you when pressed on any issue, as if that were the problem. The problem is the mob of self-righteous leftists gleefully making sure that no opposing viewpoints can even be heard. You are more than happy to deplatform, because you think it's justified because opponents "lie." Who decides whether they lie? Why, people like you.

What you want is only one set of opinions to be allowed in society. It's a form of low-resolution totalitarianism, and the only reason SJWs don't openly attempt to use the law to silence opposition is that they don't have the legal power to do so in the US.

Your reply shows that you are absolutely fine with the actions of the SJW mob. You won't engage in it personally, but if they want to dox and fire and silence then you'll sit back and approve.
