Shadowstalker16: When you support social justice; keep in mind this is what you're supporting : https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/inside-englands-most-outrageous-college-feminist-facebook-group
Klumpen0815: I know, that the term is mostly used ironically today and most likely also by you, but I'd appreciate if people would stop throwing the term "social justice" around for stuff that is just pure hatred. I've been fighting for actual social justice for some time, mostly for the acceptance of neuro-diversity, not only when it comes to the usual horrific "treatment" of Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD. And I'm often active for animal rights awareness which (to me) is about social justice too. Today I see mostly (neuro)diversity-intolerant, racist, sexist and speciecist people calling out for social justice (while sometimes attacking me) and it's making me sick. It's like a few years ago when many people in Germany started throwing around the term "platonic love" to use it for "friendship+" which is the exact opposite of what it actually means, but since not many people know the story of Sokrates and Alkibiades behind it (I did actually read Platon in university), it went on for a long time and I'm always horrified by such redefinitions into the opposite meaning. Please don't support this by using the terms as they do and give them their actual meaning back.
At this point, I'm waiting for the day when water is called "fire".
