The Social Justice Glossary, Pt.1

The following is from the excellent, funny, yet very much on the mark book by Jim Goad. I would highly recommend purchasing it. His insights and humor make for great reading. What follows is The Social Justice Glossary and what it REALLY means, not what the "social justice" warriors want you to think it means. As Jim writes--social justice warriors---people formerly known as liberals.

#1. Anti-Racist--a person who makes everything about race. #2. Blaming the Victim--Daring to suggest that conflicts between humans are often complicated and therefore that it's childishly naive to believe that one person is always entirely guilty and the other is always entirely innocent.  #3. Cultural Imperialism--An antiquated system that must be destroyed in order to pave the way for the newer, more global form of cultural imperialism. #4. Disadvantaged--Dumb and unskilled. #5. Diversity--A magical incantation used to divert your attention from the fact that it is strikingly similar to the words "divide" and "division."

#6. Elites--Wealthy people on the political right. This term is never used to describe wealthy people on the left who control much of the Media, government and academia. #7. Empowered--loud and annoying. 8. Extremist--Someone whose beliefs make us extremely uncomfortable. #9. Fairness--A political strategy requiring that winners be treated unfairly. #10. Fighting the Power---Allowing oneself to be used as the unwitting tool of global power elites.

#11. Global Warming--A fashion trend that replaced the global-cooling fashion trend of the 1970's. #12.--Government Aid--Money the government takes from the taxpayers and then partially redistributes to non-taxpayers after taking a cut for itself. #13. Herstory--The part of history that is usually ignored because not much really happened. #14.Homophobe--Someone with a distaste for sex that involves feces and AIDS. #15. Honest Conversation About Race--Condescending lecture about race.

#16.Marriage Equality--The act of pretending that two people of the same sex who can't reproduce children are equivalent to opposite sex couples who can produce children. #17. Misogynist--One who believes that women are human beings who are fully capable of intentionally harming others. #19.White Supremacist--Any white person who isn't constantly apologizing for their skin color. #20. Social Justice--A fairy tale belief system stating that the winners are solely responsible for the loser's plight.
