So What Exactly is Wrong with "Social Justice"?

[winb83]

I see the shattered remnants of #Trumpset on here getting triggered about the "SJWs" and "cultural Marxism", but I'd love an explanation on exactly why equality and justice for the oppressed and marginalized is a bad idea.

"Social justice" is simply a term people use to describe advocacy for a social group that doesn't include them and they don't really give a shyt about. Nobody uses the term "social justice" when the issue applies to them directly.

A member of the shattered remnant checking in: equality and justice are not bad ideas. Electing Hillary after everything she pulled would have been the bad idea.

Biden or Bernie -- or Kamala or Corey. Any number of people, just not the Clintons.

They're demonizing people who feel victimized or are standing up for the victimized.

It's a way to turn the victims into the bad guys, and dismiss their claims.

It's sociopathic behavior to dismiss those being victimized, especially if the victim's argument is "Stop killing us".

Thank you for being clear this time. Now that that has been established, you are a c00n(assuming you really are black). Regurgitating tired alt-right talking points means you deserve the label and just like I would tell a racist who hates being called a racist: you are what are. There is nothing deep or intellectual about posting ready made nonsense. Nothing you said is new and it's rehashed on here a million times. I suggest you try your luck in TLR.

That's right on point, and it's such a funny thing to watch. People think because they support black athletes, or are friends with the Indian guy that owns the resteraunt down the street, dated a Chinese girl in college, or think MLK Jr was a hero, or love Bob Marley's music, that they are somehow immune to racism. They are fooling themselves, they know what is in their heart, they know what the inner monologue is when they see the Mike Brown situation, I grew up around these folks, I see people I associated with in high school make these Facebook posts with the false equivalencies, or these made up, fake news infowars statistics. I always say, this Trump presidency has so many folks that I grew up with turning into Remy from higher learning. These people across America are unlocking their inner racist, and if they get called out on it, they act surprised, like "how can you think that, you know me".....nah mutha fukka, you know you, take a look in the fukking mirror.

Social Justice today is trendy and completely detached from the real world and any dose of reality or critique creates toddler-like behavior....

do you feel like the average social justice cricles (feminists,liberals, lgbt) represent black interests?

IDK how anyone can believe that after the way Ferguson was co-opted.

The defining of terms should always be encouraged...











Also "justice" is completely subjective. We can all agree there is nothing wrong with it and be talking about wildly different things.
Equality(defined as "equal" by the poster you are for) is The same man isn't even equal to himself on different days, yet alone some one else.

Spoiler

You are arguing semantics

 

[Blackout]

You don't know the meaning of the following words?

Social
Justice
Equality


MOD shyt posting is corny.

Word.

DEAD is just arguing semantics

 

[fact]

at least this thread helped answer OP's question.

"so what exactly is wrong with social justice?"

maybe it's because the people who usually debate FOR the side of 'social justice' are hypocrites who fail to practice what they preach and rely on emotions instead of FACTS.

I guess the facts are that it's "cool" to be a scumbag.
We are definitely not evolving as human beings, I just don't understand it.

SJWs are in my opinion more racist and prejudice than your run-of-the-mill redneck idiot. At least with the redneck racist, they are honest with themselves and bigotry is out in the open...

SJWs are the ones trying to rename Harlem...

as a mod, a writer, and podcaster pretending you don't know the term is dishonest.

And clearly, you're trying to make this an argument about semantics. OP was very clear.

[JahFocus CS]

So many idiots trying to tiptoe around their misogyny and anti-LGBTQ feelings. Just own your bigotry instead of trying to intellectualize it and come up with wild conspiracy theories about how women and gay people run society and are plotting its destruction

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

this is unreal.

This is why any dude who says "i cant stand feminism" should be forced to not have sex with women anymore.

What?




That story though

Nothing is wrong with Social Justice. I have always thought the term SJW was meant sarcastically, and that's why it's supposed to be an insult. Because people labeled as SJWs aren't really about Social Justice, they're just making big deals out of nothing for whatever reason (attention, narcissism, being a contrarian, paranoia, etc...).

For instance, a lot of the shyt here as examples of SJWs
