“Social Justice is basically selling programs where you can be weaker and more pitiful.”
The elements that seek to end individual Liberty do not want independent, individualistic, capable, responsible, fit, people possessed of strong wills and character, etc.
It should be no surprise that an those who wish to control others would “normalize” promote dependency, childish incompetence, learned helplessness, resentment, irresponsiblity, weak willpower, maleable identity, and moral —and even factual— relativism. If slaves are not born, they certainly can be made.
I’d wager that you are not amazed by what the SJW’s are doing, but by their audacity in being so obvious about it.
I knew and worked with one person back in the 1980s who was profoundly brainwashed in Leftist ideology. I didn't give much thought to it at the time because it was just one person. He was a very isolated case...an apparent anomaly.
What amazes me though is that the Left believes that such an inane ideology--an ideology of weakness--can actually be used to defeat Western Civilization, which is of course founded on an ideology of "real" justice, fairness, honesty, rational thinking, and strength of mind, body, and character.
What I think the Left is telling us is that "brainwashing, indoctrination, mass hypnosis" is powerful enough to withstand reality itself over a long period of time.
I must admit that, as evidenced by SJWs and the Woke, the Left is correct so far in that a massive number of people have been turned into zombies and seem to require intense deprogramming to reverse their condition (if reversing it is indeed possible).
