The problem is that their "justice" brings us screwy end results. For instance: We institute affirmative action to help the descendants of slaves get into elite colleges and get a leg up. Ok. Seems fair in a way. The actual end result is a massive amount of the beneficiaries are the children of elite Africans and elite African immigrants (perhaps even sometimes the descendants of the people who sold slaves to America), not the descendants of slaves. And the least likely demographic to attend elite colleges by qualifying test scores are rural, working class white males from the Midwest. But that's "justice" to these people.

banana Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Delighted that you chaps are finally catching up to this phenomenon a good half decade after I first raised it Unsurprising to see so little understanding of the term 'social justice', never mind its demented (reality-allergic) nature, danger, hyper-biased and authoritarian methods/implementation, though ("Wha could possibly no want that, like? 'Social'... 'justice'... is right rare in ra words!"). Right up there with, "Progressive, but! Must be great n'at... 'progress' is right rare in ra words!"). As such, here's a very brief introduction on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then those with the leg ups bizarrely end up performing worse than their classmates on average. Which of course is just more evidence of institutional racism/sexism and bias, so even more leg ups and special programs are demanded, compounding the issue. It's a brilliant endless money-spinning, victimhooding scam, to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disrupting debates featuring controversial speakers or even indeed just speakers they dont agree with until almost always the universities back down and apologise, things like that don’t work in the real world nor indeed should they. I’ve always found the best way to win an argument is let the other person speak and tear their falsehoods to shreds with well reasoned non hysterical discussion. Rightly or wrongly the rise of the right has been put down by some sources to being down to people feeling like they aren’t being listened to (I don’t subscribe to this argument and believe it to be overly simple) however Its simplicity makes it easier to attract support to these ideas. The safe space culture is an absolute nonsense, its taken the ability to challenge ideas which others don’t agree with and discuss them or debate them in a constructive manner. I kinda agree with that. The whole "no platform" thing really plays into their hands and gives them an excuse to pull the victim card out of their sleeve.

As such, here's a very brief introduction on the topic. Not taking sides, I'm just hear to point and laugh at the totally delusional and self absorbed types that believe that there isn't an element of self serving in their angst ridden dogma/mantra. Sub cultures trying to point score off each other and anyone who doesn't see the same way is the enemy so fair game. Basically, zealots and I'm not a fan of zealots of any cause. Its been interesting, I've learned lots of new stuff like 'triggered', 'virtue signalling', 'alt right', even 'yer da' and 'Russell Group Universites' (asked my Russell Group University wife who still works for one and she knew the term but didn't have a clue what it meant). Its been a blast..... I'm a bit more staid and mainstream in my politics and find it all a bit tragic, all a bit 'Peoples Front of Judea' to be honest, all about the dogma and trying to make the world fit the dogma rather than the other way round. And a hundred percent about being noticed within the sub culture, whatever the sub culture is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
