Ah, “transformative”. This is one of those magic words - “social” is another - that makes whatever follows unquestionable. Sure, that mob is looting and torching that store, but it’s all in the spirit of transformation into a new just society. Now shut up and bleed.

[Publius]

Here one feels compelled to come to the defense of what must be the most abused adjective in the English language, the word "social," used when a charlatan wants the noun to which it is applied to mean the opposite of what it does. "Social welfare," for example, wherein neither the welfare of society not its constituent individuals actually improves, but that of the administrator does; "social justice," for another, which means simply "theft."

A brilliant explanation by Billthedrill from our book. See my tagline.
