The Growing Threat of Repressive Social Justice

    By Philip Carl Salzman September 19, 2018
 

Most professors and students in the social sciences, humanities, education, social work, and law, and most university officials at Canadian and American universities today have adopted a political ideology labelled “social justice,” which requires redress for categories of people deemed “oppressed” for reasons of race, gender, sexual preference, ethnicity, and/or religion. For the many who hold this view, it is the highest morality, undeniable, unchallengeable.

Liberal or conservative views regarded as disagreement or opposition to “social justice” are felt by its many advocates to be racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, and bigoted, and they feel that these views should be strongly discouraged. Those expressing reservations to the prevailing ideology are not infrequently called racist, sexist, alt-right, white- or male-supremacists, and/or fascists.

Just an excuse to repress/oppress someone else, who likely did nothing to be deserving of the repression or oppression other than have a different opinion. Flipping alleged victim classes with those who are alleged oppressors just guarantees the cycle will continue, and where it wasn't real, become so.

One damn thing for certain, there is no justice in the oppression of people who had nothing to do with the alleged oppression of people who preceded them, by other people (often long dead), conducted by people who themselves are not victims of oppression anywhere other than in their minds.

And, it's long past time for us to not put up with it.
