...you're not a fan of social justice? Like, you prefer social injustice? Or anti-social justice? Surely not anti-social injustice, because that's a double negative, and would therefore be the same as social justice.
(that's how math works)
:P

I don't believe in social justice. I like justice just fine. Yet social, and mob rule I don't give a shit about.
Social moires can change.
Anyone can be offended by literally anything.
An important lesson in life is learning that life can be offensive and how to move forward.
Social Justice these days is like trying to bubble wrap reality and FORCE certain opinions and ideas as the accepted ones.
It also is pushing the idea that offending someone is tantamount to punching them in the face.
People can be offended by anything. The concept is idiocy, and lunacy.
TLDR VERSION: Drop the "social" modifier and I like justice just fine. Justice is based upon facts and laws, not on opinions. When you add words to JUSTICE it modifies the meaning. Just like adding the word FAKE to something like NEWS modifies the meaning. So drop the word SOCIAL and I like it just fine.
I hope this doesn't offend you, but you seem pretty sensitive about this. What happened to you that gave you this impression of social justice?

That is a common response about sensitivity. You can't really tell sensitivity very easily from what I wrote. Nice try at deflection though.
What happened is called critical thinking, and reason. :)
I simply realized awhile back I wasn't doing people any good by trying not to offend them. Unlike a lot of idiotic society these days I realize that being offended is part of life. We have to learn how to deal with it. We can answer it with words. We can try to challenge it. Yet we shouldn't be given special privileges, rights, or laws to make certain others cannot offend us. A bird flying over and shitting on your shoulder can feel pretty offensive. It is called life.
So if people live a sheltered life where they try to protect themselves and others from any form of offense then they truly are being coddled and treated like toddlers and don't learn important life lessons. Mainly that life goes on just fine after being offended. :)
Ok. My question is, what do you mean? Why do you think social justice and hypersensitivity are synonymous? "Critical thinking" is what I think I'm doing, but you don't. And it's what you think you're doing, but I don't. Let's get some clear examples to argue about instead of these generalities. When I say, "social justice" I mean, "people should have access to the resources that will help them survive and thrive in society, without restrictions based on their identity"
What do you mean by "social justice" such that it offends you?
