(''Sociology'') A | (''Sociology'') A catch-all phrase designed to pin down an intellectual movement which, above all other priorities, as a horror of being ''pinned down'', since what can be pinned down can be analysed and exposed. [[Critical theory]], in this context, is allegedly “third-wave” [[post-modernism]]: (originally race, law or gender but now has forked into whatever happens to be the ''cause célébre'' du jour); social justice theory; [[woke]]ness; general [[snowflake]]ry. | ||
To be clear: the [[JC]] lines up with the [[libtard]]s here: the optimal society is a pluralistic, tolerant one, maximally permissive of the non-aggressive interests of those at the margins and which, all other things being equal, defends those interests in cases of conflict with the majority. | |||
But this isn’t to say there aren’t thoroughly unscrupulous people doing thoroughly unscrupulous things in the name of social justice. | |||
