Social Justice

While I've been watching videos of modern day philosophers and political commentators, I have been noticing them spending a lot of time denouncing the concept of white privilege and feminism. I was half tempted to title this blog post as feminism, but I don't want to confuse feminism with what these people are purporting. Feminism is supposed to be equality for both genders basically a woman should be able to do everything that a man is able to do. A sentiment that I agree with. What these social justice warriors are calling feminism is really promoting a hatred toward men. The hatred being justified due to prior injustices.

Just like the Black Lives Matter movement that believes the system is against black people, these so called "feminists" believe that the system is against women. They point to easily debunked notions such as the gender wage gap and an anonymous evil power known only as the patriarchy (as a former conspiracy theorist, they may as well say the Illuminati). Ironic, that the vehicle promoting equality is named after women while the force promoting inequality is named after a man. Regardless, what has been happening now is an unholy alliance between the two where racism and sexism toward white men is now being called social justice. Their disgusting sense of equality is disenfranchising white men while promoting equality for all. Pointing out this fallacy is only met with being shouted down as a white male instead of any kind of intelligent response.

The numerous fallacies of the movement are astounding. Take safe spaces for example, black social justice warriors are literally wanting a separate space from white people. Basically, they want the exact same thing the racists wanted back in the 1960's versus the desegregation civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King preached. Female social justice warriors want special entitlements to allow them to better compete with men essentially admitting an inferiority to men instead of empowering themselves to compete with men directly. There are other examples, but their underlining fallacy is that they are confusing equal opportunity with equal outcome. I can go on with trigger warnings and microaggressions, but the ideas are so ridiculous, I'll just link their Urban Dictionary definitions instead.  

Wanton destruction is never just nor promotes equality.

I'm not exactly sure when all of this started, but reflecting on my White Privilege post, I think I was witnessing the seeds being planted, but my fellow classmates and I were too preoccupied with our studies to notice. My fear with all of this is that I eventually believe this may be used to justify violence. The moment you paint a group of people as the reason for all of your woes, then they become your enemy. Virtually, every evil power rises up with this power. The communists blamed the bourgeoisie, the Nazis blamed the Jews, and now social justice warriors are blaming white men. These social justice warriors just need to accept the fact that sometimes life isn't fair.
