The whole beauty of the theory of Social Justice is that it can mean whatever it’s proponents want it to means and then brand people who don’t agree with them as socially unjust and thus evil and deceiving of punishment

Meaningless concepts ... proclaiming the goodness of one's own intentions, the badness of one's opponents', and the irrelevance of results ... where would liberals be without them?

oops

The whole beauty of the theory of Social Justice is that it can mean whatever it’s proponents want it to mean and then let them brand people who don’t agree with their definition of Social Justice as socially unjust and thus evil and deserving of punishment

‘Justice’ isn’t very ‘social.’ She’s BLIND and doesn’t get out much.

But President-Elect Trump is setting Her up with a Seeing Eye Dog, as I type. ;)

Define it.

I don’t think it can be done without getting rid of at least some of the people and reorganizing the departments. Based on my interaction with the US EPA, the notion of the “social justice community” is so interwoven with the way they approach everything it’s become part of the language and culture. Questioning it produces awkward pauses and offended remarks as if you’d used the n-word.

Today’s social justice warriors have forgotten, in the words of Hayek’s teacher Ludwig von Mises, “It is precisely want and misery that liberalism seeks to abolish, and it considers the means that it proposes the only suitable ones for the achievement of this end.”

Use Alinsky against them, and turn the SJW to good use. For example, they can keep a beat and play a mean drums.

we can stop funding groups who fight the government. There is no entitlement to funds. I recall a few years ago La Raza got 100 million from the federal government. It is outrageous to fund racist groups who want to take part of the US and give it to Mexico.

well, if you want shot in the chest, run backwards

shot in the back is prima fascia proof of running

I tell my students that Thoreau refuted social justice because justice is defined by the individual and his willingness to stand up and face society when he feels it’s tug.

Justice is blind. Social Justice is not blind, it looks, and tries to make all outcomes equal, and is therefore, not justice at all, but redistribution colored by personal biases.
